Very excited to know that this is on YouTube! As far as I know, it’s out of print. Fair warning: a lot of it is down and dirty, grim and grimy field recordings and not for the faint of heart. If you’re into this kind of thing though (#mouthmusic), this is gold.

BREAKING: President Trump just signed into law the Laken Riley Act, which will require immigrants to be detained with no due process based on an accusation of a non-violent crime.
This is a dangerous bill that violates our Constitutional rights.

We did this for an hour at Clifftop. Ro tuned high and I tuned low. Afterward I was like, "huh, maybe we should record this," like an idiot, and Ro looked at me like "duh, that was the whole idea."

I think something we don't appreciate enough as a society is that for the majority of human history hearing a particular piece of music was only possible if you could find someone in a public place/event playing it, owned an instrument/knew it yourself, or were rich and could employ a musician.

NEW: A federal appeals court upheld a block on Iowa’s extreme anti-immigrant law.
The appeals court agreed the law is unconstitutional and should remain blocked while litigation continues. This is a victory for immigrants' rights.

Every section of the Iowa statute likely conflicts with federal immigration law, the Eighth Circuit found.
