Oh damn. What a loss. He was brilliant. A few months ago I went through all the YouTubes of his live performances I could find.

in the mid 21st century every device from toaster to television to phone to defibrillator and every electronic message transmitted thereon was controlled by a wet man with a hole in his brain who was only capable of understanding anything in terms of “antichrists.”

The listener assuming every song is autobiographical seems like a constant problem for most songwriters. To court it like she does seems terrifying to me. Millions of people psychoanalyzing you based on your lyrics. That’s a hell.

La Pepita is only about 9 blocks from there. It’s nothing fancy. Kinda a small place with writing all over the walls. But I loved the food and the servers were super friendly.

Some recommendations. Tapas at La Pepita, weird cocktails at Dr Stravinski, natural wine at Bar Brutal, and an awesome Spanish Civil War history tour from an anarchist perspective thespanishcivilwar.com

The crows and I have developed a strange and intimate relationship.

There’s a skylight above my toilet. Sometimes while I’m peeing I hear the crows laughing at me above my head. This morning while peeing I heard a tapping and I looked up and a crow looked at me and dropped a worm onto the glass.

I argue that Punk has nothing to do with aesthetic choices like “loud and fast, leather jackets and piercings.” it’s all about DIY and disregard for whatever is happening in the mainstream. But it is funny when a $300 million dollar movie about Superman claims to be punk.

It sucks and it isn’t fair. I’ve had this experience a few times recently too. 💜

More Exercises in Sound. In one of these iterations, I re-record the narration as a father telling his baby a bedtime story.

Exercises in Sound @exercisesinsound.bsky.social · 8d

Two recent episodes played with narration again, this time flipping the planes of reality--rather than Characters A and B being in the physical plane while the narrators provide voiceover, it's the other way around. The narrators are having real interactions, while the characters are abstracted.

Tron gives an inaccurate impression of how many guys live in your computer. It makes it seem like thousands of guys are in there. In reality only about 10 guys live in your computer and less than half of them ride motorcycles

The X-Men Danger Room and Uncle Scrooge’s Worry Room are related somehow. Add an Anxiety Response Wing to your mansion.

Asking “is the postal service profitable?” is a new thing

If you visit a 1950s post office it looks like a Greek temple. They have statues of eagles. There’s a big mural of a flying woman holding a cornucopia. They didn’t whine “is the bronze bas-relief of Prosperity profitable?”
