I need to rediscover joy, to reconnect to myself. This’ll be a running thread of old and new music that touches some part of me. Like a weird journal.

I know that wasn’t your intent. It’s a bit of a trope inside the community so it gets my hackles up. Didn’t mean to go full rant :)

You wouldn’t make this joke about how everyone is a little queer. Don’t mock what you don’t understand.

Yes, you technically are on a spectrum but it has a specific use that you’re flippantly dismissing. It is for people who are neurodiverse. There is a spectrum for something like autism, with very different issues and presentation. And it’s not a line you “fall off.” This isn’t for your yucks.

Linda Ronstadt has many career highlights and Mas Canciones is one of them. That amazing voice shines on those songs, like here with her brothers on closer "El Sueno"

Had a MRI today and the techs warned me about the sound. Like I haven’t paid for worse noise sets.

I listened to this today and it was an enjoyable chat. The focus drifted to interesting places with far less rehashing of oft-covered topics.

One of my favorite bands from my Texas sojourn. This at high volume, live or on record, is glorious.

Serious strobe warnings if that sets you off (it can fuck my day so I get it) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn4h...

I don’t know the last time you listened to her Songbooks, but I put on the Cole Porter set tonight and good God she was special. Hard to hold other versions in your head as she overwrites them with ease.

The new AFI album is a hoot. It sounds like the band created for a goth version of Velvet Goldmine where they can’t license the songs. Only missing a Flesh For Lulu tune.
This rules.

I’m cool with this and Sesame Street being franchises. That’s it though

Congrats to Tiny Desk Brasil on its premiere!

I had a small part, helping our Brazilian counterparts curate (read: mostly encouragement! but also some tips). João Gomes is a great first pick. He brings a Bad Bunny-like energy to a music known as forró.
