I always thought someone should do a pretty, low-key version of "The World's A Mess, It's In My Kiss" and, of course, Styrofoam Winos went ahead and did it.

If you know the songs of @lou-turner.bsky.social, you know she's a poet's songwriter. But she's also a songwriter's poet, a truth on beautiful display in her connective & inventive book of country music poems, Twin Lead Lines, coming in Sept. & up for pre-order now via @thirdmanbooks.bsky.social

absolutely gutted to learn of the passing of Susan Alcorn, an incredibly gifted improviser, arranger, and musician who bridged so many musical worlds. We just hung out last week at her show in Baltimore with David Grubbs. I am in shock at this loss but grateful to her for her work and her example.

Bunch of weird ancestral swamp poems coming via Third Man Books in September 2025 🐣✨

Hello to this corner!

I have a song on this benefit compilation for the @aclu.org — thx to Brent/In Loving Recollection for organizing. It’s called The Leading Man and is a lost gem from the Microcosmos era:
