Put together a new ambient guest session for @lowlightmixes.bsky.social
“From Dusk Till Dawn” is dream-like and hazy. Like an escape into the hush of night and through to break of morning. Grainy ambient, dub and flickering melodies.

Thanks checking in. Everything is ok at low light headquarters. I’ve just had a ton of stuff going on that has sucked up my time. I am retiring soon so maybe I’ll have more time for mixes. Or maybe I’ll be too busy do nothing and taking naps. Lol Thanks for listening and for your kind words.
I’m enjoying coffee on a frigid morning. The coffee shop was not crowded and chill. And then…a group of ten middle school girls showed up. My noise canceling AirPods can’t keep up.

“The Island” by The Decemberists is already a sort of prog tune so I’d love for them to do a new version that goes full on prog rock. Turn it up to 11 and with a bit more muscle. #progrock #prog

What was the “song of summer?” One tune spent 10 weeks at #1 - “Ordinary” by Alex Warren. But there’s no way that abomination of a song is the song of summer.
Here are my nominations:
The Beaches -Last Girls at the Party
Σtella - Adagio
The Beths - Metal
Jay Som - Float
Silvan Estrada - Dime
3 fantastic new album just dropped today:
The Beths - Straight Line Was A Lie
Google Earth - for Mac OS X 10.11
Oren Ambarchi - Ghosted III
Donald Trump Jr - “Maybe we should roll out the tour to Portland, Seattle, the other what we’d call craphole cities of the country.”
These people don’t actually like our country, do they?
I thought liberals were supposed to be snowflakes. But right wingers losing their minds over the redesign of the Cracker Barrel logo is actually f-ing hilarious.

Her math doesn't add up
This is a variation of what I hate about political reporting and punditry. Everything is treated like it’s an analysis at the halftime of a NBA game. Political reporting loves to put events in a winners and losers framework or its impact on poll numbers.
We on the left have to be careful to not promote misinformation. I have had several liberal friends forward posts that are clearly false. Take a few seconds and check before posting/forwarding. We don’t want to do the same thing the right has been doing for years.
