Someone posted a tiktok describing an album as something you'd hear over a cracking radio in an abandoned ruin of a town in the desert, or something to that effect, and they weren't wrong.

It feels familiar and new all at once.

It's comfortable and warm and beautiful and has little fun things with intentional breaking of the rules of rhythm that work wonders.

It's the sort of music that plays in the room where a couple slow dances while you walk by on your way home just after dusk has fallen.

It's the sort of music that soothes a breakup.

It's the sort of music that fills the room while you put on your makeup before heading out to see a punk band on the stage of a basement bar.

It's the sort of music you hear coming from the neighbor's yard a few doors down as they tend the garden on a summer's day that's almost too hot for it.

It's not on spotify, but the whole thing's on youtube and the description there links you to where you can buy it.

It's nice.

Also there's a drag element to this... so there's that. :)

Diamond jubilee

I woke up this morning suspended exactly halfway between 70 and 80. Not that it was a surprise. In fact, it’s been coming for 75 years.

Still, for that young person who dwells in my mind, seemingly oblivious to certain hard facts, it's a little hard to grasp.

“It gets your attention,” said a friend of mine who recently turned 75. “Somehow, it seems a lot different than 74.”

I know what he means. Even if I live to be 100, 75 is a long way down the road. And yet, I’m happy to be here, comfortable in my advanced position, my weathered skin.

Longevity is, of course, largely a matter of blind luck. Yet, turning 75 seems like an accomplishment. On to the finals ...
