Being a team player and going to farm-aid this w/e, only because it means I get to spend a whole day with my SO. But, dag gum….that line-up is my kryptonite. I’ve taken to calling this particular threesome “the barbiturate”, “the paralytic”, and “the potassium chloride”. #cosomusic #notafan

This is fucked up for so many reasons. MPOZI was an Indianapolis institution - a DJ and a journalist - I met him a few times and he was just the nicest dude, a real gentleman. When he died some years back - a mural of him was painted on the side of a building in a neighborhood called Broad Ripple. Now - a hookah bar, whose clientele seems to be douchebags and Kardashian wannabes, has moved in to that building and this shit happened. Total disrespect for what little culture our city has.

I’m officiating a friend’s wedding in a few weeks and I’m supposed to be writing the ceremony right now. This is my writing process so shut up.

Starting out a #newmusicfriday with new albums from The Beaches and Cleo Sol.

#cosopets #reptiles
There are three guarantees in life. Death. Taxes. And if my family goes to a reptile show, we will not come home empty handed. Meet the newest Cavalier, “Dotty”. She’s an 18 month old leopard gekko. Ain’t she something??

In my head, I am replacing Aryna Sabalenka’s yelps with Homer “DOH”’s. Its more palpable that way. #sports #usopen

EP21 of the LETS PLAY TEN podcast has dropped! 10 killer new indie rock tracks for your dining and dancing pleasure, and a discussion about how a lot of new bands are abandoning conventional promotional tools and just getting on with the business of making music and playing shows. You can check out LPT on any streaming service or at https://40ficreations.com/letsplayten. Thanks in advance for listening!

🎧 The Future Kings of England, "The Viewing Point". Highly. recommended if you like 1968-1972 Pink Floyd, very early Genesis, and the general "space-rock" of the era. 'Nuff said.

Is songwhip glitching for you? I keep getting 504 errors.

🎧 Girl In A Coma, "Both Before I'm Gone". First album (2007) from the San Antonio trio. Incorporating punk, riot grrrl, indie rock, bits of tejano, and the Smiths, GIAC never shied away from their influences. Nina Diaz' lyrics and vocals define the word "beguiling". The punk influenced rhythm section of Jenn Alva and Phanie Diaz gave the songs a punch you want to feel repeatedly. They later formed the band FEA (equally great). This album never gets too loud for me.

🎧 Adia Victoria, "Silences". When I heard AV's "A Southern Gothic" LP, it felt like opening a door to a very dark, swampy new musical world. I was hypnotized by that record. This is her previous release, recorded with The National's Aaron Dressner. AV had shifted her approach to lean into a more layered sound, with electronics and strings moving in on the guitars and bass. Nobody could have seen "A Southern Gothic" coming unless they had spent a few nights with this album.

🎧 Gram Parsons, "Grevious Angel". Mike Nesmith aside, I am not the biggest fan of this genre (Country Rock or "Cosmic American Music"). It's impossible not to appreciate what GP brought to the table. When he was lucid enough to actually create something it was almost always good. The seeds he planted with Flying Burrito Bros and The Byrds sprouted in full on this record. Emmylou Harris' harmonies are superb and the song selection was near perfect.

Lets eat this until there’s no more tiers. #cake

🎧 Hum, "You'd Prefer An Astronaut". 1990's alt-rock's "lost masterpiece". The guitars are crunchy as hell, and the Cadillac-shilling "Stars" notwithstanding this is just a fantastic indie-rock record. The going gets great in the second half, with Matt Talbot's subdued vocals doing everything I wish Billy Corgan would have done. Volume up, heads down.

🎧 Parliament, “The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein”. As the euphoria of America’s bicentennial summer gave way to the mega-downer of our first post-Nixon election, George Clinton, Bernie Worrell and Bootsy steered the mothership collective into this very “horny” groovefest. Coming off “Mothership Connection” its a slight step down but still funky and fun as hell. Production is a little smoother especially on the brass, and Bootsy’s lines are slinky as ever. Do that stuff, indeed.
