🎶 Crucial Track for today: "All of This Will End" by Indigo De Souza →
Geez I’ve really fallen behind for the first time in a while. Lots going on: kids prepping for college, loan hunting, and my dad is in the process of getting a stem cell transplant. So much stress and trying to take it one hour at a time.
🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Cold Cash and Cold Hearts" by Thrice →
Introduced my daughter to Thrice last night and now she's interested in seeing them this fall when they come to Buffalo. Win. 🏆

His lyrics through Sick Of It All were some of my earliest introductions to injustice, fighting racism and inequality, and our corrupt system. Rest in power, Lou.

Heard this song on KEXP today. Some Madchester vibes. So good!
The reporting on this admin is consistently horrible. NPR publishes this headline, then TWELVE paragraphs in:
Tariffs are paid by companies in the United States that import foreign products. The importers usually try to pass along the cost by charging consumers higher prices.
Indifference through obfuscation.
🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Letting Go" by Angie McMahon →
What song makes you think about the future?
Big changes coming up with all three kids going off to college. 18 years of chaos with twins and an older child by just 13 months. Now we will be empty nesters. Gonna be quiet!
🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Bad Mouth" by Fugazi →
More appropriate lyrical goodness:
You can't be what you were So you better start being just what you are You can't be what you were The time is now, it's running out It's running out, it's running, running, running out
You can't be what you were So you better start living the life That you're talking about You can't be what you were The no movement, the no movement The no movement in a bad mouth
🎶 Crucial Track for today: "No God" by Show Me the Body →
Still can’t get enough of this album. Today a song about not waiting for anyone to tell you to do what’s right:
There's more to this Earth than I can see Who's gonna dance in the circle for me? No line in the sand, with demand how I feel No god to make it real

Open web and indie web, forever. Part 2.
I've seen a few bigger "indie" or open web proponents make overtures about returning to X recently and it boggles my mind. You even have Mozilla, who did go back back to X, posting: "We took time off of X,...
🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Halfway" by Swapmeet →
What's a song you'd want your best friend to hear for the first time?
Another new album I am super psyched about... I'd want them to check this song out, especially the last 40 seconds of noise-y power pop hooks.
🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Supercollider" by Quicksand →
Road trip home music. Still super impressed by this album.
The one photo I remembered to shoot in RAW at the Toronto Zoo yesterday, so I could play with Aphera a little...
Toronto was a blast. Such a fun city. Went out to dinner last night and wandered around the city for a few hours after. Then went to the zoo with the family today.

What's a song that makes you want to learn an instrument?
A hardcore band with a banjo? Makes anything possible!
Open web and indie web, forever.
The main reason I started with RSS/feeds as one of the core features of Crucial Tracks is its beautiful simplicity and flexibility: it can act as a way to follow users, have a live firehose feed, connect to any other...

A speedy, intentional, and modern RAW photo editor built natively for Mac.
The new photo editor from Naz Hamid, Ryan Carver, and Juan Pablo Zambrano is the real deal. Time to get back into photography.
