I need to rediscover joy, to reconnect to myself. This’ll be a running thread of old and new music that touches some part of me. Like a weird journal.

I listened to this today and it was an enjoyable chat. The focus drifted to interesting places with far less rehashing of oft-covered topics.

I don’t know the last time you listened to her Songbooks, but I put on the Cole Porter set tonight and good God she was special. Hard to hold other versions in your head as she overwrites them with ease.

The new AFI album is a hoot. It sounds like the band created for a goth version of Velvet Goldmine where they can’t license the songs. Only missing a Flesh For Lulu tune.

Congrats to Tiny Desk Brasil on its premiere!

I had a small part, helping our Brazilian counterparts curate (read: mostly encouragement! but also some tips). João Gomes is a great first pick. He brings a Bad Bunny-like energy to a music known as forró.

I could never describe Kiki Pau the way I hear them. Every time a new album came out I’d try again to explain to others what I was experiencing and again I’d fail.
