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.

Here we go, this is the first "single" (uh huh) off of my upcoming album "Puzzle World". Windowing, you know. Album should be out in a few monthsβ€”it is finished now.

Go forth and share it far and wide:

Ready for the far-out? Out today, perfect for April Fools day (or Bicycle Day if you wait a couple weeks), abstract music that holds no place in fascist or neo-lib ideology. You can't quantify this.

Mad at Meta? Don't Let Them Collect and Monetize Your Personal Data If you’re fed up with Meta right now, you’re not alone. Meta tracks you across millions of websites and apps and its business model relies on your data. If you want to limit Meta’s ability to collect ...

If you're also on Meta, I highly recommend these actions:

'Reboot' Revealed: Elon Musk's CEO-Dictator Playbook In 2022, one of Peter Thiel's favorite thinkers envisioned a second Trump Administration in which the federal government would be run by a β€œCEO”

Here's their plan, just in case you had any doubts. I don't quite understand what is supposed to happen afterwards.

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!

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 15Β° 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 0ΒΊC. 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.
