This freakout about Biden's cognitive capacity was triggered by the insinuations of a Trump-allied hack taken out of context and overblown by a media in need of sensationalist clicks and a false equivalence built on minimizing Trump's numerous and deep flaws while maximizing Biden's comparatively few and superficial ones.

Then he stopped waving and his eyes got really wide because our car was starting to drift dangerously into his lane. An accident was luckily avoided, however, and we continued on our way. RIP, Mojo.

The first thought that popped into my head was, "that looks like the kind of vehicle Mojo Nixon would drive." As we passed the van, I looked up and was shocked to see that the driver was in fact, no bullshit, Mojo Nixon. In the passenger seat was unmistakably Skid Roper. I pointed this out to my friends and we all started waving at Mojo, who noticed us and waved back.

I saw Mojo Nixon four times, but only three of those times involved him being onstage playing and singing. This is the story of the other time. One evening in the spring of 1989, two or three buddies (that I worked at a record store with) and I were driving up to see Throwing Muses at the Palace in LA. As I was chilling in the backseat, we came up on an old white van in the lane to our right.

Excited to announce that another of my hypnopompic diary entries from Brain Soliloquies is now live in the current issue of SurVision Magazine. My thanks to the editors Tony Kitt and Anatoly Kudryavitsky! Also worth checking out the work of the other writers in the issue such as Charles Borkhuis and Mark Young, among others. #poetry

1. Rosalie Chilvers - "Ego Tripping". Seattle teenager Chilvers mashes up Blondie and Hole. Crunchy guitar stabs and expressive vocals make this the week's most earwormy new release.

These and all my favorite new songs of 2024 (so far) available at link. #music

2. Malice K - "Radio". Olympia-to-Brooklyn transplant evokes Elliott Smith with raspy acoustic strumming, strings and a whispery, aching vocal that walks the listener through an existential crisis.
