Fear has no future.

Lived religion basically never stays within the bounds of codified doctrine, and folks would do well to keep that in mind when they offer their commentary on current events

This is a very niche post and I, for one, appreciate it.

The books: We Become What We Normalize by David Dark and What Can We Hope For? by Richard Rorty on a wooden table.

It's morning again in America.

I had the opportunity to review the new album by Irish artist CMAT for @popmatters.com. It's catchy, compelling, and a standout musical exploration of millennial femalehood in late-capitalist Western culture.

This might be the best and most unsparing look at contemporary Nashville I've heard in a while.

One of the great inspirational scenes of 20th century cinema.

I think an issue ignored in much of this discourse is *what* the other side is voting for (given what all they have seen) & the idea that some (swing?) voters will support authoritarianism
or refuse to oppose it because of issues with language. It feels like an abdication of responsibility.

Tom coming in strong, calling front runner status for Rahm Emmanuel. Head to the bank.

This week on "But did you see what she was wearing?"

Meanwhile, authoritarianism rolls on.

Karla and I are looking forward to the Amanda Shires showcase at Exit/In on the 11th!

"Accidental Centrist"

This sir, is very well played. 🫡

U.S. Girls Merge the Geography of Sound and Soul » PopMatters On Scratch It, U.S. Girls experiment with the sonic topography of Nashville to further explore the emotional landscape of vulnerability and materiality.

I recently got to review 'Scratch It', the latest album from Meg Remy's art pop project, U.S. Girls for @popmatters.com. It experiments with the sonic topography of Nashville to further explore the emotional landscape of vulnerability and materiality.

What perfect album came out when you were sixteen? I mean...

Post a song from the year you turned 12:

Real talk.

We celebrate TEP today. Thanks for being light and love in a world that too often lacks both.

In My Room is just a gorgeous song tapping into the human need for sanctuary and grounding in a world of anxiety and vulnerability. Brian is foreshadowing the themes of Pet Sounds during the height of their surf music.

This article had me at "wounded idealist." A great piece by Alyssa Charpentier on @popmatters.com on the earnest yearning of the music of the 1980s and 1990s. Check it out.

Happy Anniversary, kids! Sending much love from our household to yours.

Arvo Pärt's 'Silentium' Gives Voice to Silence Within Sound » PopMatters With this curated compilation, Mississippi Records provides a compelling primer into Arvo Pärt, the world's most performed living composer.

My latest review for @popmatters.com considers the "holy minimalism" of Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. 'Silentium' is out now from Mississippi Records. www.popmatters.com/arvo-part-si...

'Peace through strength' is propaganda.
