Lover of the inter- and outernational sound, dream-pop, post-rock, electro-acoustic, roots & dub, shoe-gaze, and such. Also fond of mountain streams, the smell of pines, and the sound of owls.
The most wonderful time of the year! When @boomkat.com drops their year-end lists, my annual reminder of the infinite glory of our musical universe. Thanks and praises to them and all contributors far and wide...

The Kennedy Center was given its name by an act of Congress after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Pretty sure its current board, which includes revered fine arts dignitaries like Laura Ingraham, Pamela Jo Bondi, Maria Bartiromo, and Lee Greenwood, can't undo that law.

This calamity of a cabinet has been disastrous since Day 1. It's hard to pick the worst, but Hegseth and Patel are competing hard for that dishonor, and both need to go--like, yesterday.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.
