The Tea Party, who strenuously protested when a Black guy they claimed was born in Africa was spending their tax dollars, are strangely silent now that a white guy who was definitely born in Africa is doing it

Rest in peace, Marianne Faithful. 💔 Still think of hearing Ballad of Lucy Jordan for the first time in Thelma & Louise, but my favorite might be this Decemberists cover. youtu.be/fGgAT8zMja0

We could always just collectively stop paying our taxes, I guess. 😎

I know things have been politically bleak for a long time, but seeing Timotheé Chalamet introduce a younger audience to the music of Bob Dylan, from such a sincere and excited place within him, gives me hope.

Today I'm thinking about David Lynch and this mysterious black box I found at the thrift store. The box contains a portable Super 8 player with a built in screen, made for traveling salesmen. The film inside is all about the benefits of Transcendental Meditation. It wasn't online, but now it is. RIP

I'm not sure if this will find the right people here, but this is for people who sell music through #bandcamp who want an option to get paid without supporting #paypal

The last two nights, my boyfriend has come downstairs to ask me to "turn down the bass" so tonight I am listening to this album, just so I can say "actually, there is no bass on this album."

This is what it's like to live with me. 🙃

Feel like I'll be talking into the void again, so I guess it is just like twitter. Here is where I've been spending most of my time lately.
