Some Bodies, by Magic Lasso
12 track album
magiclasso.bandcamp.com
I spent a good chunk of my 2020-2021 lockdown time self-recording an album where I played and sang pretty much everything (a few was pals added their musical goodness) and did it all in my bedroom (bow chikka bowwww!) in San Francisco. That album is called ‘Some Bodies’ and it’s almost 4 years old!

Finally figuring out the end to a song that’s been 95% finished for about two years feels like something I should get a trophy for or at least a cookie.

It’s rare that a movie makes me furious for the time spent watching it, but what a giant fucking waste of time Barbarian was, holy crap. How on earth was this movie so hyped? It was laughably bad that I can’t believe the same writer/director made Weapons, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Absolute trash.

The other day I remembered seeing that Margaret Cho had released another music album (as opposed to a comedy album) this year and discovered this tight little power pop banger that I’ve already played 10+ times in the last 48 hours.

Someone should make a documentary about the cursed marketing meeting when every single drug company decided to use the phrase “moderate to severe” for every drug they manufacture, including Botox. “Moderate to severe lines?” Gurl.

Saw @sleater-kinney.bsky.social for thr 30th time tonight and it was as thrilling, incendiary, joyous and vital as the first time I saw them back in 1995. Carrie mentioned hoping to provide catharsis and, after losing my mother just 46 days ago, it was exactly as cathartic as I needed. Grateful.

Can someone explain to me why all interviews are people holding tiny mics that should be clipped to them?

A) This video will make it seem like I only wear one outfit when I play guitar, but it’s just a default of pajamas 😅 B) Does this sound like it’s from a known song? It felt familiar as soon as I played it but I can’t say from where. But I like it.

I think it’s important, in this era of untruths, to admit to our own illusions/delusions. So here’s a list of things I refuse to believe are real:
- Bananas are actually berries
- Sabrina Carpenter
- Gooning
- Pickleball
- “Mushroom steaks”
- 3-in-1 stain for lips, cheeks, eyes
- Addison Rae

One of my proudest moments as a musician is that I’ve managed to avoid listening to “Let It Go” from ‘Frozen’ to this day.

was thinking about sharing some of my trans/queer-themed songs for Pride month (& I will!). but revisiting this song tonight, which is a gender-ambiguous take on vulnerability & adolescent crushes. not sure I wrote a better line than "I'm so olive green" haha...

A total bop from 2009 before Drag Race was even on TV.
And it features @peacheschrist.com who is an all time fave of mine. And Vinsantos. The first Time I went to Redactedshack Vinsantos performed and set off a bunch of fireworks in The Stud. 🔥🔥
