Just posted a new entry to my mixtape delivery service.

No, a great funk album will NOT save America.

the ecstatic ephemerality of life has never been as potent as the time surrounding my father’s passing into the great unknown. it may sound strange, but I miss the clarity of that time. the awakened soul. these are songs of grief, of the love from which grief is born.
