Pretty cool that all the bookstores but ours are still on Instagram Keep doing panels on the importance of social media tho @americanbookseller.bsky.social
New: As gay bars across the country say that Meta is flagging and deactivating their accounts without warning, I spoke to an Austin queer bar that says Meta nearly destroyed their ability to advertise events: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

My new project The Witness Tree comes out today. It’s the result of 2 years of recording & research interviewing/collaborating with remarkable trees in Virginia & making music with a biodata sonification device. You can stream or buy this album at Bandcamp!

The Just Intonation Revolution (JIR) continues, headquartered in Baltimore
🎺 new music today 🎺 Crying Laughing “Geese Six” The Baltimore quintet’s rhythm section kicks off with a dusty desert groove before torrents of synchronized sax & winding keyboard lines prod the band up into peaks of polyphonic bliss. Their debut album 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 comes out on September 10th

Unlike Christine Maggiore and her poor child, rock will never die
Contributor Christina Smart was in the audience Monday night as the Foo Fighters played 30 years of hits at their sold-out set at Nats Park. “While some might lament the current state of rock, or even say that the format is dead, as long as the Foo Fighters are around that will never be the case."

It's kind of interesting how we have different experiences, lives, and philosophies, and yet there's one thing we can all agree on: Prisons should number in the tens of thousands, be owned by private citizens with no oversight and explicit permission and encouragement to brutalize people for profit.

It's a real thrill and an honor to have my work and words included, alongside some great peers and fellow travelers, in this excellent article. Thanks to Shira Friedman-Parks for writing it and the Chicago Reader for publishing it!
Zines appeal to artists and organizers because they sidestep digital surveillance and reach people in real life. https://bit.ly/4fUv6Fk
Geography is one of my passions and it's always so nice to learn about a new place en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_S...

The world is on fire and this corny bloodstained stooge has dropped his latest focus-grouped summer playlist. Thank you sir. I will listen to "Charlie Brown" by Coldplay.
Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.
