SDCC Music
Superman or Green Lantern ain’t got nothin’ on me I of course love San Diego Comic Con, but I also love a song featuring something from the comics. I add to this playlist periodically and love new suggestions. There’s far more comics-adjacent music than one might think (or can be easily listened to given the...

QOTD
Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST. ― Frank Zappa

Musical Miscellany
Pulp’s Common People remains brilliant and mordant. I’ve been listening to Elise Trouw’s Foo Fighters Meets 70’s Bobby Caldwell (Live Loop Mashup) on repeat for a while. It’s a peculiar kind of trance that taps into 70s easy listening. I’ve also gone back and reacquired unpublished Lola Blanc pop music. Her work on Angry Too...

2023 Top Albums
I like this image, from my last.fm account, from 2023. I forgot I grabbed this image and saved it. But includes many of my favorites: Zappa, Kitty, Lawrence, De La Soul, 2-Tone Ska, Roxy Music and things like Metric and Selena Gomez and Tessa Violet and an artist I never would have appreciated until I...

Burn Down The Malls!
In honor of Mojo Nixon, 1957-2024

It’s January 5th. Good morning.
For a while I was making montages using ImageMagick’s actual montage command. For example: montage 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg 5.jpg 6.jpg 7.jpg 8.jpg 9.jpg 10.jpg 11.jpg 12.jpg 13.jpg 14.jpg 15.jpg 16.jpg -tile 4x4 -geometry 800x800+0+0 -background black montage.jpg Recently I have wanted want to customize the appearance of these so I tend to write one-off...

My Soundtrack for Bodysurfing
My friend Susan recently asked me this question: Is there a piece of music that captures what bodysurfing feels like? Here’s how I answered, in pieces: This is an intriguing question. I don’t really have an answer but I will pop the cap on my brain and share songs that recur when I’m in the...

Marquee Moon
I spoke To a man down at the tracks And I ask him How he don’t go mad He said “Look here, Junior Don’t you be so happy And for Heaven’s sake Don’t you be so sad” RIP Tom Verlaine I somehow missed this death, from January.

Current Musical Obsession: Lawrence
The band Lawrence on heavy rotation for me. Why? I don’t know, really. I do like soul and funk. I do like a girl singer, and it has that in Gracie Lawrence. I dig the piano of Clyde Lawrence–maybe the sound reminds me of Billy Preston a bit? I’m not really smart about unpacking why...
