In service of the "sonorous new year" I've been wishing others, I'm cooking up a daily listening homage / adventure / practice for 2025, and will be posting about it here. I can promise amazement, bemusement, occasional confusion, and pure sonic delight. More info and daily links start January 1 ✨

Oct 1 / There are so many flavors of unlistenable, including... strawberry. But IMO worth a needle drop on the rap track, given the sheer audacity of this "effort."

Sept 24 / Is it Alvin & the Chipmunks crooning Abba? No! It's kids singing adult songs with adult lyrics and yes, the show was cancelled due to its creepy premise. That is, seven records later 🫠

Floating home from the XMTR Festival somewhat delirious, with ears, hearts & brains teeming after 3 days of audio everything: stories, sounds, noise, music, swarm, static, cabaret. And! We met our Circuit 06 creative partner, the amazing Lorna Hamilton-Brown & presented 06 finalists. Magical!

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.
