People who don’t like Spotify saying your listening age is old, 3 easy steps:
1. Listen to Release Radar every Friday; hit “like” on what you like.
2. Listen to your liked songs; put favorites on a list of your choosing.
3. Listen to that list a lot.
Bonus: buy a record, buy a shirt, go to a show.

Me: [texts friend with a Christmas song I think she will like]
[phone rings; it is friend]
Me: Good morning!
Friend: Is this—
Me: Hello?
[shuffling sounds]
Friend: I think this is literally a butt dial

Imagine being my friend & hearing my cheery greeting emanating from your back pocket at random

Trying to start to get festive. I got a deal at Walgreens using my rewards points for what my youngest used to call a Crutnacker

Here’s what’s been going on in therapy, in hopes maybe it can benefit someone who can’t access therapy right now (I think my therapy goals are pretty basic & common).

“Why I put up with too much bullshit from men” has been refined to “how do I get more comfy expressing needs in relationships.” +

This gorgeous, tragic year.

We lost my bff @sallygirl.bsky.social. My kid lost her boyfriend to overdose. My dad barely survived a heart attack & DVT/embolisms. Both parents slowing down dramatically, friends getting cancer, it’s all of this.

We’re still here.

you aren’t ‘making’ ‘art’ when you plug nonsense into AI and it spits out an ugly little picture fyi. that’s called ‘going on the computer’

My child (age 19 tomorrow) made a baked mac and cheese, which has heretofore not been a Thanksgiving tradition. Directions from TikTok. Gigantic hit with one and all.

Niece and nephews came over this morning to learn how.

Whatever this holiday means to you, I hope it turns out to be beautiful and restful and healing.

Can we just agree that the holiday has started at this point?

Yesterday I walked a whole different section of river trail. For most of the stretch I walked on the main view was not of the river as shown here but of gigantic houses’ backyards full of swimming pools, pickleball courts, and in-ground trampolines. Absurd, suburbia.

It might be just because I live in the new, delightful electoral donut hole of Utah, but I think the momentum for midterms is huge. If we don’t flip the US House I think it’ll be a sure sign our elections are meaningless and we’ll have to go to our next available option.

Local songwriters’ showcase series Near Hear last night in Mountain West Cider’s warehouse, super cool space. I was so enchanted by Karlie McKinnon I forgot to even take a picture but my date got me her set list (😍). Morgan Snow was equally wonderful and looks a little bit like my youngest brother.

Phones had to be put away for the Neko Case show. It was so reverb-y and beautiful. I was super tired but I just let the music wash over me and that was perfect. Unexpectedly and to my delight, I saw my sister by the merch table.

It’s Neko Case night in Salt Lake City! And it’s at the Eccles Theatre which means we get to sit down 🎉

Our baby. Her personality is maybe not always the very best but she makes up for it in cuteness

Most of them do go through a pronounced awkward phase
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my...honestly kind of ugly looking child"

I realized tonight that while I have seen Lucius at Kilby Block Party and on their joint tour with Dawes I had not actually seen a full pure Lucius show until now. It was transcendent. My dusty trails have led me to a golden road for sure.

Hey it’s not a bad idea to go make sure all your shots are still effective. Sometimes people don’t know they need boosters in their adult years.

I know I should migrate off Spotify; it’s going to be a lot of work so please be patient with me. I go to shows, I buy LPs and merch, etc.

Anyway here are my new release picks of the week. Good good things.

(Also seeing my 3rd Lucius show tomorrow YAY!!!)
