California apartments lack a refrigerator and stove? Wow. In Boston, apartments sometimes don’t have laundry facilities. Or they’re fucking coin-operated. In 2025. Who has coins anymore?

This is my favorite thing I ever drew. It’s from 2013, pastel pencils on paper. I called it “It Girl #1.” There was no #2 or anything…

These days, you can just share the record--Bandcamp or Youtube, etc. Just, "Here, you'll like this." No need to elaborate. Ideally, people will still buy the record.

You know, there was a time, like thirty years ago, when I used to review local music. You had to describe music with words, crafted in such a way so as to have the reader able to "hear" it, to decide whether or not to support those musicians by buying the record.

Today, I have been writing and listening to my favorite records. A lot of my favorite records, few have heard. But everyone should hear Jellyfish, Spilt Milk. So gorgeous!

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
