Trk 284 of 365: a song recorded while undergoing cancer treatments in 2015-2016. Strummy guitars abound. Kinda sounds like a collision of "Village Green"-era Kinks and P. Simon's "Kodachrome". Free streaming & download.

It's "funny" that the CNN Online clip of this interview had the "plenary authority" quote edited out. Why is the media actively attempting to abet and shield these scumbags?

The Stephen Miller Gaffe Every Judge Needs To Bookmark

Maybe Miller realizes the 2024 election did not mark the end of history.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Trk 282 of 365: here is an guitar-ambient track, starting with a loop riff sampled from one of my other recordings and moving into more spacerock areas by the end. Very chill, actually! Free streaming & download.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Trk 281 of 365: a new experiment in creating a lopsided slamming beat using an old Alessis drum machine, inspired by Dilla and Q-Tip. It ended up sounding like disruptive elevator Muzak. Free streaming & download.

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.
