today on Bartók's birthday I have already dialed up a couple of Hungarian mixcloud playlists with Bartók stuff and right now in the space before driving my son to school I am jamming "Concerto for Orchestra" (Reiner & CSO). You too can live this triumphant…

I would like to make more jokes but instead I'm here to tell you that because health reporting in the US is not what it might be, you gotta hear from the singer from the Mountain Goats that measles (and whooping cough) are surging not just here but abroad.…

yes - one of the great things about Bartók is that he's a guy who was very interested in folk music who isn't also deeply suspect, one of the worst things about fascists is their coopting and bad-faith rendering of folk tradition & ethos [contains quote…

The parallel that strikes me though is between gonzo right-wing grifters & 1980s evangelicals. Same exact playbook. Pick a target, adopt a superficially academic framework to make claims no self respecting academic would ever make, reach-around boost each…

Trying to give concessions to people who were lying about you, who knew they were lying but sought to manipulate a response from you, is loser behavior. Tell them firmly not to wear that off the rack shit to court and you’ll see them there [contains quote…

this is the thing - artists are gonna get hit up to play benefits for the Democratic party in two years and super hard in four years. well: did you support completely inhuman treatment of people on the grounds that they were "gang members," accused of no…

the organ is not going anywhere -- I think it's the largest musical instrument in the world? -- but Macy's is closing so its destiny isn't known. organs are truly wondrous instruments, a human creation that speaks well of its maker: increasingly rare! …

yeah -- this is one of those radicalizing facts you learn along the way. it's not that the U.S. sometimes goes back on its word; it's that the U.S. has no word at all. it has broken literally every treaty it ever made with Native Americans. trust a snitch…

the right by Lyle at 6:30 would send most people to the canvas, and most of those people would be counted out when their knees wobbled as they tried to get up. Foreman was really something. we won't see one like him again. [contains quote post or other…

a fun thread partly about mapmaking, a subject in my mind since reading the amazing “strange and perfect account from the permafrost”; also, “like most ghosts, it has a message for us” has me really thinking [contains quote post or other embedded content]

this is that repost of bottom-barrel sociopathy I was talking about. "why are people cheering for murder, don't they believe in letting the system work?" they are cheering because the secretary of commerce is on TV saying "if you complain about not getting…

I don't feel like most of the people who follow me really NEED to hear the depths of sociopathy on display here, but at the same time, yeah you do. "You're a fraud if you complain that you didn't get what you were owed" is mask-off shit for these guys who…

in maybe 2019 and maybe earlier in I think Sweden Matt and me were soundchecking and we ran a song I was working on in my notebook, but I left the notebook on a plane so the rest of the song is lost & I don't like to have to try to reconstruct but anywhere…

an already monstrous policy made worse by total incompetence. what happened in Congress today? Well, they convened at noon, said a prayer, approved the journal of the last day's proceedings, said the Pledge of Allegiance, read two messages from the clerk…

yo this is very exploitable by politicians. "maybe I'm out on a limb here -- but you know what birds do when they're out on a limb? they SING" [fundraiser, interminable emails you can't unsusbscribe from, "still singing" t-shirts, etc [contains quote post…

Democrats do not understand that if somebody in the house of reps decided he wanted to go out like a hero and cracked some brass knuckles into a Quisling face or two, their party's approval rating would soar, and stay up [contains quote post or other…

It’s a police arm of a fascist government. This is what is is & all it is, but for 9 years people have been tut-tutting about actually calling water wet. You don’t “beat fascists at the ballot box.” You beat them with tire irons. [contains quote post or…

a weird thing about having followed baseball is you can still see the players in your mind and recall their unique physical characteristics but after ‘01-ish it’s mainly “oh yeah that guy was ripped. and that guy too, ripped. this guy? I remember him.…
