In ’95 I was a high school sophomore, and the Oasis album “What’s the Story Morning Glory?” was pretty much in everyone’s constant rotation. Still one of my favorite albums.

@mother-poet.bsky.social Rachel, 2015 was right in your musical wheelhouse! Did you ever in to Father John Misty/J. Tillman/Fleet Foxes?

#DavidsMonthOfMusic day 25: a song from 2015
Bored in the USA

Ran into Aubrey Phoenix today, one of our poets with pieces in both @chaossectionpoetry.bsky.social books, “Record of Dissent” and “What We Hold On To.” Always good to see contributors out in the world and hand them a copy in person!

Thank you, Ankarah. And yeah, probably a good policy you have there, re asking certain family members about politics…
