Out today: "Canto Caló" by Nicolás Lell Benavides. With two major works exploring New Mexican identity, ancestral memories of grandparents, and how those live and breathe within us, cultural connections over generations and what is lost and gained when we revisit our roots:

I didn’t know him that well, but I think he was pro-union. He would have been glad that DEI finally became a thing.

I think Sheldon Morgenstern would be very upset at the board. That’s the saddest thing. Someone creates and grows a thing and then shitty lazy board members kill it.

I crossed something off my to-do list that I intended to complete in Jan 2024. (I actually finally did the thing!)

Omg. A huge weight has lifted!!

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

So my new album is still new. (Am I allowed to call it new if it’s more than 24 hours old? Damn.)

Please take a listen. (Ain’t too proud to beg, I guess.)
