Yup, NYT continues to prove its relevance by having Ross Douthat, Certified Moral Arbiter, weigh in on Taylor Swift....

Powerfully emetic stuff, there.

Can't believe KXT DJ just jumped on and babbled over one of the great #bass outros of all time - Graham Maby's lovely soliloquy at the end of "It's Different for Girls" argh...

Couldn't resist:

@tgraph52 No disrespect! Yours is an absolutely appropriate perspective. I think musicking is for everyone to do (I spent 25+ directing amateur choirs, and teach ~45 students a week). I was more addressing the "I'm being driven from music" posts out there - if you can survive doing something else, please do, and please enjoy making music, as well. But some cannot survive without music at the center (when I thought I had to try, it didn't go well....).

Okay, here's the hot, probably unpopular, certain to rile somebody, take:
There is a difference between someone with talent, skill and love for music and someone who has been called by music. The former will do their best to make a life with music, but if success doesn't come, will walk away. The latter will find a way to make some kind of music-centered life, regardless of income level or "success."

A lot of babble on various socials about throwing up hands and walking away. Some of us can't.

Officially Spring - Executive Producer just handed me a bowl of homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream....

Buckle up, TX, it's going to be a bumpy Summer....

I still like "Incel Camino," but this is pretty good (via itsi.janeakelly on Threads):

Has Warm Audio become a Texas version of Behringer?

Well, we got to see the eclipse, but now, severe storms.
Win some....

So, April is here, and everyone in red is not being paid. If you think that's right, you're in love with the business, not the music.
