Tax Time 1040, by Robert MacMillan and the White Ship Disaster from the album Declattering

This is a song about filing taxes. Itโ€™s called Tax Time 1040. I have another one called Tax Time 1040 (Schedule C). Theyโ€™re both on this little album called โ€œDeclattering.โ€ I hope it puts you in the mood to file your returns.

I owed the IRS on interest income they I stupidly failed to plow into investments. I received refunds from NY and NJ.

I Don't Exist: Remixes and Alternate Versions, by Robert MacMillan and the White Ship Disaster 16 track album

I love having AI music on Bandcamp, but it stands a stronger chance of reaching people on streaming services. I took most of the music down because it wasnโ€™t good enough. Better versions are coming soon. Youโ€™re going to love what you hear. robertmacmillan.bandcamp.com/album/i-dont...

Thomas Mann and Me, by Robert MacMillan and the White Ship Disaster from the album Hot Girls at the Beach II: Schรถnheit muรŸ leiden

This song combines elements of the movie Vers le sud with Charlotte Rampling and Thomas Mannโ€™s novella Death in Venice. Itโ€™s entirely unsuitable for children and for prudish ears. Iโ€™m not kidding robertmacmillan.bandcamp.com/track/thomas...

Possessions Drag You Down, by Robert MacMillan and the White Ship Disaster from the album Sixteen Eggs: Extra-Large Hits

The inevitable fatigue and burden of being a second-rate summertime resort Lothario. For more in this variety pack of my #AI #music, buy the CD or the digital version. Part with your money, get something lovely in return.

As Tesla tanks, Muskโ€™s hand-picked board chair is doing just fine Elon Muskโ€™s EV company is struggling as he plunges into politics. Robyn Denholm, the Australian chair of Tesla, is thriving after cashing in half a billion dollars of the stock. Investors are clamoring for her to rein in the worldโ€™s richest man โ€“ but some question whether she has the independence to do so.

โ€œSheโ€™s just paid too much.โ€ Good story.
