🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Indu" by Greg Freeman →

What’s a lyric that resonates deeply with you and why?

All I wanna do is look at you Looking at me with the moonlight in your eyes These days come so quick These nights go so quick now Alright

A great album that came out today... these lyrics speak to me because I recently spent about 30 days away from my wife while taking care of my dad and I missed her terribly.

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Old Things Never Die" by Smidley →

If your life were a movie, what would its theme song be?

Killer record. Killer lyrics:

Have I been dodging the column for years for nothing? Have I been bleeding a stone or is there life in lumber? Do some things just take a long time? Is this a dam or a river? I guess I've made up my mind Some things just go out with a whimper Some things just wither in the sunshine Let myself slip in the rhythm of a dead drum I thought the snares would stay tight But now I see the light and I know Some things just go out of style

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Lights Burn Dimmer" by Fred again.. & Jamie T →

A song from a genre you didn’t think you’d like—what changed?

There aren’t too many genes I don’t like at least some sub-genre or take, besides maybe classical and EDM.

I did even like the Fred again.. song from Naz Hamid’s recent Crucial Tracks interview so I guess I will go with that…

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Black Dress" by Keo →

How do you discover new music, and what’s the latest gem you’ve found?

Been challenging to find new stuff since Brooklyn Vegan ended, Stereogum went to subscribers only for a lot of content, Pitchfork and Northern Transmissions seem to be hit or miss if they even post reviews some weeks... I've come to rely on AlbumOfTheYear.org (AOTY) to give me an overview of all of the albums released each week.

So, my current set up is: Apple Music New Releases view, Albums.app release feed, AOTY, then random things I see elsewhere like YouTube.

This one is actually an AOTY find, as I didn't see it on the Apple New Releases prior to listening. Anyway, the record is pretty solid: 90s influenced grunge/alt rock.

What If We Just Stopped? | dansinker.com

dansinker.com

What if we stopped plugging our selves into the machines, stopped performing (wittingly and unwittingly) for the algorithm, stopped letting bots bait us, stopped all of it and figured out new ways—our ways—to do things again.

Yup! As long as there are algorithmic feeds, there will be engagement bait, bots, and that shitty feeling you get from using these services.

Bigger Picture

Stress, changes, patience, growth

It's been a time of serious transitions over the last few months.

Earlier this year my dad was diagnosed with MDS or Myelodysplastic syndrome, which is a blood cancer that affects blood stem cells. It basically causes your body to produce malformed cells which can lead to things like...

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Reprovisional" by Fugazi →

Which song would you use to introduce yourself to someone new?

Always Fugazi. It's the ultimate test.

In other words not to get it wrong Pointless to walk, past time to run Secured under the weight of watchful eyes Lulled to sleep under clear, expansive skies

Somewhere in these prying hearts Conflicting history tears us apart and We hope we won't get what we deserve Behind the targets in front of all the people we serve
