So good. Cancer is the worst and I can't imagine working through that with my wife, but the message of resilience here is beautiful. Nice work @go-outside-music.bsky.social

It's Friday, which means my inbox is filled with new releases on Bandcamp. Anything good? Have you released something recently?
Let me know. I end up listening to a lot of new music on Fridays while I'm working.

My best advice for people who are wanting to get into vinyl records is to start buying records before getting a turntable. You could a get good turntable at anytime but you'll never know when you'll see a good record again or at least for an affordable price. Buy those records! 🫵🏾

From her roots in country music to her avant-garde experimentation, Susan Alcorn transformed the pedal steel guitar into a voice of revolution + possibility. Her passing leaves behind a legacy that changed how we think about the instrument's role in modern music.

One of the highlights of being a parent is when your kid LOVES something and wants to share it with you.
My 8 year old is convinced I'll love the Dogman books and put one on my bedside table. He picked one he thought I'd enjoy. Makes me feel hopeful for the future and the kind of person he will be.

Really enjoyed Nosferatu. Overwhelmingly dark in mood, atmosphere, lighting, etc. but really well done.
The Witch is still my favorite but this is up there.

Crawling under my house is a top 3 "things I really hate". Had to unfreeze some pipes.
Climbing on my roof and sharks are the other two. Thanks Jaws.

I've had African pepper soup and fufu exactly once in my life nearly 15 years ago and I'm suddenly craving it again 😭 this lovely couple from Ghana made it and it was so delicious.

Started watching the Japanese film House (1977) and it is one of the most unhinged movies I've ever seen. Such an odd tone. I'm not really sure what to think or what is really going on.

My mom got me a Criterion Channel subscription for a year for my birthday. Watched Thief (Michael Mann) the other night and it was excellent.
What an awesome gift.

My latest YouTube obsession is court videos. It's an odd mix of hilarious and sad that somehow brings me comfort.

Started taking notes using Obsidian to build my own personal network of connected ideas. Realized that reading is great, but connecting what I'm reading to everything else I've read will be much better.

I don't drink coffee or tea, but I love yerba mate. I grew up with my dad drinking it and it took a while for me to appreciate the taste.

Did my first drywall patch job. Square of drywall, measure the square on the wall, cut it out, put a piece of wood behind to brace it, etc. I don't like being my own handyman, but I love solving a problem. Tape and mud are next.

Had that rare moment last night where I had an idea for a melody in my head and was able to translate it to piano immediately. I always envy musicians who can do this consistently. This one feels like a solo piano song.
