Grover Anderson

That song introduced 8 year old me to Aaron Neville and I remember thinking “whoa, you can do that?!” but it turns out the answer for me was “No you can’t, you’re not Aaron Neville”

Lyle Lovett and Al Green, man. It’s the business. Sam Moore & Conway too…mmmm

I still play it all the time!

These are my three favorite things on Spotify wrapped:
• Little Spoon was streamed in 95 countries(!)
• 105 people had me in their top 10 artists(!)
• The song that I felt the most stress about releasing ended up being the most shared
Really joyful things to learn. Thank you!

The way the room falls silent after they realize he’s dogging Vance too is wonderful

Made it across the country and back with my wheelchair-bound dad this weekend with no flight cancellations, one inconsequential 45 minute delay, lots of friendly faces and two(!) unexpected and unwarranted crotch pat-downs. All in all I’d say it was a successful trip (minus the crotch stuff)

My name is Kate Sills, and I'm running for Congress for my brother.

He's in the Navy & our military is being asked to kill civilians.

These are unlawful orders.

Now Trump has called for people like me, who are standing up for our military, to be hanged.

Can you help me?

Happy eagles?

Friday night show in Placerville! (Since that ticket link ain’t gonna work… tickets.clubgreenroom.com/e/grover-and...)

You guys. I’m a hundred years late to the party, but how come no one told me how freaking good Dracula (the original novel) is? I’m halfway through and it completely holds up as an exciting read. (I do have some notes on Stoker’s writing of women, so maybe not completely. But still.)

Just like Schumer was united in his support of the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York? Or do senators just get a couple of freebies?

I don’t know if I’ve ever felt less hopeful about my country. Imagine the American Revolutionaries saying “Standing up to King George didn’t work”

the OTHER thing is that no filibuster defender has yet to articulate why it is that people who happen to live in low density states not only deserve additional representation but also deserve to exercise a veto *on top of that*

My Spotify wrapped thank you video (please stop using Spotify) kept getting rejected for “featuring music” but it didn’t have music. My daughter overheard and said “but it does have music…there’s a plane flying over you that sounds musical.” Eq’d that out, video accepted. My kid rules.

I have assiduously avoided AI-generated songs, but I checked this one out and holy shit. I don’t want to spoil anything, but the last lyrics are “My uncle’s father died in the Pentagon/I was 5, how old were you?”

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

Happy Halloween. Here’s my song about a demon. music.apple.com/us/album/the...

I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum.

If you didn’t grow up calling someone unrelated to you “Auntie” I don’t think I can trust you or anyone in your family.

There are lots of reasons I’m looking forward to being done with grad school in December, but first in foremost it’s that I’m never staying up til 1am for non-music related reasons ever again

The headline sounds like something Trump would say two minutes into answering a question about national security.

Thanks, Tears & BJs!
(Almost as fun as the time I found Moonshine on a playlist called “Songs to Smash To”)

Sending support and safety and strength to everyone taking to the streets today

Can’t wait til I read this tweet about AI

I’m not much for writing political songs. I often end up feeling like they’re pale imitations of songwriters I admire. But as I scrolled and stewed, silence became a greater offense than imperfection.

“On the Record” is out now

Tom McClintock managed to let his district take the third-biggest loss of all republican districts. He even manages to lose when he’s winning.
Of course, he doesn’t even live in the district he represents, so no sweat off his back! Good lord we need to vote this chump out of office.
