Heat Manager has two new songs out today for bandcamp Friday. One about the generational trauma of being a leftist Jew and the other about grieving in Arkansas. Double A-side action. li.sten.to/heatmanager

Can’t believe the Springsteen movie is about the album with no sax that people who don’t like Bruce site as “the one album they like.”

Can’t believe they made bio pics about Dylan and Springsteen and both of them are just about whether they play acoustic or electric.

Child Amputees, Aid Massacres, Mass Starvation—the Israeli War Crimes NYT Covers Less than Mamdani and 'Globalize the Intifada' Theoretical, third order, speculative violence must be condemned while actual, real world mass violence, that actually exists in reality, is seen as normal and unworthy of sustained coverage.

In the past month NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani and “globalize the intifada", 13 that mention Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign and two that mention, in passing, child amputees in Gaza. I argue this is makes no sense and is depraved

You won't have your names when you ride the big airplane/ All they will call you will be "deportees" -- "Plane Wreck at Los Gatos"
Woody Guthrie wrote this song in 1948. Dylan & Baez performed it during the 1976 Rolling Thunder Revue. More relevant than ever in 2025.

Just did Neko’s Fox Confessor for the first time in years and man oh man what an absolute masterpiece. Sonic and lyrical world building of the highest order.

I wish that the people trying to sell me $400 pairs of jeans in my social media feed were made to feel like I was when I played open mics when I was 20.

Heat Manager action on RCU radio this week. We’re in solid company.

Thanks to @ravensingstheblues.bsky.social for the kind words. “Threadbare boogie” is a genre we’ll happily embrace.
