I write weird music and read too many comic books. Sometimes I do both at the same time...

Had an epic performance of one of my Hindrances for toy piano today. The pianist set up right in the middle of the lunch place and started performing it with no explanation.

And it was perfect! The title of this one is Restlessness.

They are doing a toy piano drawing here in Brazil. I would love to enter it but how would I get it home?

Fantastic. We might need your advice on where to stay. The hotel I booked is nothing like the pictures online!

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

Napster was founded in 1999, and millions of households downloaded music they did not pay for, but they did not use it to build a business.

The industry and governments did everything in their power to shut down Napster and we were punished with Spotify, which continues to rob and cheat musicians.

This is trolling of the highest level, and I am here for it. Two Chicago dudes busting each other’s chops over Cubs v. Sox, with theological ramifications.

I have always said that the only thing that would have made The Great Muppet Caper better would be if they had cast Prunella Scales as John Cleese's spouse instead of Joan Sanderson.

Having a very surreal experience traveling to Brazil today. Travel like that is always a little surreal for me but today my daughter is coming with me and that just seems so weird!

A picture is still worth a thousand words, but due to AI slop, those words are all melting, illegible gibberish.

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

Science fiction is like sex - of you don't know any women who like it, that reveals more about you than them.

I think the use of the final movement of the Brahms Violin Concerto at the end of There Will Be Blood is perfect.

Also is it Handel being played at the end of Portrait of a Lady on Fire? Don't remember exactly but it was also perfect.

Massage therapist today totally rocked my shit. She treated me like a ball of focaccia dough that had brought suffering to her family for generations.

It was glorious.
