What the hell?! This can’t be real. Black Messiah is a masterpiece. I can loop “The Charade” for hours and never get tired of it.

We’ve had nothing new since 2014, and I kept hoping he’d rise again. Too young. (We’re less than a year apart 😢)

Notable albums he contributed to (a few highlights):
Five Leaves Left — Nick Drake (1969)
Solid Air — John Martyn (stunning work, here)
Hounds of Love — Kate Bush (gigantic)
Spirit of Eden AND Laughing Stock — Talk Talk (pivotal works of art for me)

He passed away peacefully on 23 September 2025 at the age of 86.

A musician of rare versatility (folk, jazz, blues, and more) he served the song, never drawing attention away fromit. He will be very missed.

Danny Thompson wasn’t just a bassist. He was a storyteller through sound.

Over six decades, his warm, organic touch anchored so many albums I love, from Pentangle to John Martyn, Kate Bush to Richard Thompson.

For us Gen X teens, this was a stone-cold classic. Redford was at his most effortlessly charming, leading a stellar cast with ease. Timeless, witty, cool, and unforgettable. #RipRobertRedford

There is literally no Western politician alive that I can think of that has incited more hate, bigotry, and violence than Donald Trump.

That so many in our public life, in our 'liberal' media, have just memory-holed 10 years of nonstop incitement and abuse from him is shameful.

Good riddance, you lying fool. You can harm no one else now. You were a chief architect of a blasphemous, endlessly cruel death cult masquerading as “Christianity.” Go set up your snake oil stand in the afterlife. And if grace truly exists, then it extends even to you.

I wrote about the ways different concentration camp systems have ended and how to stop the massive expansion of detention happening in the U.S. right now.

Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference.

This is what rising fascism looks like.

I've always adored this song. Pre-Skydiggers Andy Maize sounds fabulous on the harmonies. A Canadian classic! #AndrewCash #TimeAndPlace
