“In a way back corner of a cross-town bus
We were hiding out under my hat
Cashing in on a thirty-year crush
You can't be young and do that”
Easy to see why the best songwriters in the world revere James McMurtry. Amazing album.

First time I saw Steve Earle he was solo, just a guitar, stories and songs…absolutely captivating. This wonderful record bottles that lightning.

Please don’t think that it means that I don’t love you”
This album has kept me company many times that I’ve been too far from home. It’s nice to spin it under my own roof.

I adore this record. Beautiful and devastating and oh my god that voice.
When this came out, MW did a one-off gig at the Sydney Opera House to perform it in full, was lucky enough to get there with my wife and a dear friend… it was absolutely breathtaking.

With a long and consistently stellar catalogue with DBT, it’s amazing Hood has anything left for a solo record, let alone one as good as this. Beautifully realised, deeply personal and very different from the main gig. Magic.

Stuck to the paved stuff because a busted limb on a work trip would be a difficult conversation back in the office, but a fun morning. Sunday mornings in Santiago = all the bikes and all the dogs.

i do find it interesting in a bleak way that silicon valley is basically recapitulating 1920s-style american reactionary politics.
The tech bro fascination with eugenics is so on brand. The idea that you could make accurate, actionable predictions from individual genotypes (with all their complex, non-linear interactions) from averaged, linearly modeled population-level genomic statistics is just another big data fantasy
