This song is "World Still Burns", originally written following that wall'o'moms facing armored incels in Portland a few years back, now even more relevant.

When the going gets weird, etc... Before abstract music is outlawed by fascists, I'm gonna get pretty out there. Here's new music, out on April Fool's Day. CD sets may also be available then (2 discs). It's long droney weirdness.

I was walking past a known frog hatching pond today and got this feeling that this is one of those years where there will be a ton of frogs. Like enough to get sucked up in water spouts and rain down upon towns. Seems like that kind of year.

She was an undergrad when I was in grad school, and I was the Performance Ensemble manager so I had a lot of harp-hauling going on between her and Shelley Burgon!

really good piece. Thanks!

That's all I can ask!

Not yet, anyway.

It was Monday, then Tuesday. Then it was Wednesday.

Hmm that was actually my first thought too, that it was 1980 hostage crisis vibe, as was the Gaza cease fire. But TikTok is really, seriously, a PRC tool, so I have a hard time believing it's ok to begin with.

Around 15° is where it starts to really get cold. I hate that part of the winter even if it looks cool!

No dog friends today despite it being a "warm" freezing day. (I wasn't even wearing gloves.) Snow melted last week, it still hovers around 0ºC. I gotta say, this is not a very wintery winter in Stockholm this year... so far anyway. We'll see how climate change treats us.

I'll take two!
