BEAUTIFUL “NEW” INDIE FOLK MIX

Melancholy but hopeful mix I made in 2013 inspired by a song on an “It Gets Better” video a friend produced.

#FridayNightJam From Blossom Dearie's 1966 album "Blossom Time at Ronnie Scott's" (which is a club in London). Written by Dave Frishberg, a great songwriter and writer of several Schoolhouse Rock songs -- and Blossom also sang some of those!

Can we talk about this in a per-month metric? I think it might be easier for folks to internalize.

It's like having a new $316 bill every single month.

That's a lot of groceries.
Trump’s reckless, across the board tariffs will cost families $3,800 per year.

That may not be a lot to Donald Trump or Elon Musk — but it's way too much for working families to pay while billionaires get tax cuts.
Trump's new tariffs will hit lower-income households the hardest
While Trump campaigned on a pledge to lower prices for struggling Americans, his tariffs are expected to increase the cost of everything from kids’ shoes to fresh produce.

A mix I made in 2008 of (mostly) psychedelic indie music, newly up on Mixcloud. It has a mellow and melodic, but distinctly "off-kilter," vibe.

1) The present depressing national moment is a great time to check out this indie pop mix I made in 2003 (and recently re-shared on Mixcloud). It has a mellow, pleasant disposition; it’s a nostalgic soothing balm.

Hamlet Minassian was an Iranian musician of Armenian descent. This track is from an an album released in 1980, recorded in Iran during the last moments before the 1979 revolution. It’s fun and unique cheesy synth pop music.

#fridaynightjam Not how it went down today, but in this 1977 track Fela Kuti counsels against political compromises that hurt the vulnerable:
"I no go agree make my brother hungry ...
I no go agree make my brother homeless ...
No agreement today, no agreement tomorrow.” #music #felakuti #resist

Conan: You know, Anora is having a good night. That's great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.

Disappointed at the lack of fiery anti-authoritarianism at the Oscars.

The dual speeches for No Other Land were great. I appreciated Adrien Brody’s comments, but it’s unfortunate they came at the end of such a mess of a speech. I liked Conan’s “standing up to a powerful Russian” line.

#FridayNightJam Roberta Flack died on Monday, R.I.P. She was a pianist and vocalist of uncommon expressiveness.

This lyrically direct track from her 1969 debut is appropriate, in this moment of transparent moral failures dressed up in false complexity.

Friday Night Jam! I love it when I discover the original of a song I didn’t consciously realize was a cover. I previously only knew this 1965 song written and performed by English pop singer Twinkle from the cover by The Smiths.
