A PAINTING YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO SEE, my oft announced and delayed album is actually coming out! It’s the culmination of Cheer Captain as a project to this point, my songs, my art, my whole deal really. The songs aren’t new but the order they’re in sure is!

"Mother, my pen is heavy as I have heard rumours of an imposter traveling the Virginia countryside posing as our dear cousin Slim. I implore you, as a tactic of revelation, to require any so called Slims to please stand up. Any false Slims' spirit would surely wither away upon this request."

“Dearest Slim, I wrote you but you still ain’t calling. I left my cell my pager and my home phone at the bottom. General Lee says that we have provisions for the harsh winter ahead but the men are growing weary. P.S. we should be together too.”

“Paint with all the colors of the wind!” I yell exuberantly as I throw a bag of cold Burger King fries out my window at a raccoon
Look, I know you SHOULDN'T feed raccoons, but I also saw Pocahontas as a kid, so these are really mixed messages being sent to me by society.

I think a lot about the joke in SPACED where Tim and Mike go to the battle bot fight and the rules are “the first rule of Robot Fight Club is you don’t talk about Robot Fight Club. The second is no smoking”
“Why can’t we smoke?”
“We’re not supposed to talk about it.”

I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

impossible to describe how it felt in the mid-90s when "Possum Kingdom" was on the radio in good rotation, at work trying to mop up the glass/acid spill of a cartload of pickle boxes crashed on the floor while someone screams "Do you wanna die?" from a speaker cut into the drop ceiling.

This is good and cool but we as a society have definitely lost the plot about what Fight Club is
Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

At one point in the movie WICKED: FOR GOOD we see a digitally de-aged Jeff Goldblum. This moment, while horrifying for most, is just a little Easter egg for Wicked’s Gen Z fans who have taken 14 recreational benadryl prior to seeing the film.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

A few months ago a friend of mine challenged me to think about the ways in which political music could be uplifting as well as critical. I went for a long walk and listened to The Harder They Come; it was a profound experience. Eternal gratitude to Jimmy Cliff. RIP.
