I already deleted the previous number but this last scam came from Macon, IL.

Voicemail transcript from Walmart phishing scam. Alleges an order was placed with your name and phone number, and you're urged to call to cancel, since you'd would certainly know you didn't order it. The fake items in this particular call were a PlayStation 5 and headset.

Just got an email about this. Appreciate Genius’ moderators for recognizing the history and value of my work as a songwriter, not just issuing an arbitrary cosmetic status symbol. Also, shoutout to the folks who first shared my lyrics there years ago. That was the OG badge. #MusicSky

After the showcase, I recorded the full set list including everything we ran out of time for and the special requests. We'll be livestreaming those soon as a performance-only show. Here's a quick taste: intro to an audience favorite translated to acoustic.

This loud-assed jive turkey woke me up at 5:30. I knew it was either that or a jackhammer being strangled underwater, so your girl was compelled to drag her coat-less carcass from REM sleep to capture this magnificent cinematography. Behold!

I'm interested in that thing...where there's a breaking point for some people and not for others. You go through hardship, things that are almost impossibly difficult, and there's no sign that it's going to get any better, and that's the point when people quit. But some don't. – Robert Redford

First batch of CDs now available from UK. U.S. sources coming soon. I've retooled CD specs to eco-friendly versions that also reduce production and shipping costs, and allow more vinyl art crossover. Postponing cassettes; no cost-effective options with reliable production currently.

Jammes Luckett | Poperratic @poperratic.com · 08/09/2025

Vagus CDs + cassettes proofed! Small batch of CDs being forwarded to the distributor. Final w/ small, final artwork adjustments will be available this week via shop and album pages at ArtMechanix.com. Big discount available if you bought the digital reissue or shared any Poperratic update recently.

Veil lift: My music platform streaming data & earnings between 2022 & July despite then dormant site + no marketing or social footprint. However, today's reality is 2.5M streams are meaningless in $ and value to many gatekeepers. I still measure growth & success by things like letters & paid gigs.

Jammes Luckett | Poperratic @poperratic.com · 22/08/2025

I secured new distribution and the first reissue is out with new mixes and masters. Other revamps dropping over coming weeks as well as some new tracks. CD and vinyl to follow.

Schpilkas and I used to frequently run into Malcolm. He was a kind, beautiful, passionate, soulful, classy, and humble man. Wildly talented as a poet and musician, too; his performances were always a treat. Malcolm was truly a bright and inspiring light & my heart goes out to his family and friends.

So, what did we learn today? The removable wall prong adapter prong that slides into Apple power adapter blocks is called a "duckhead". Remember this for when you need a replacement and can't find a single one of the 6 billion you know you've had since the start of the century.

The all-new ArtMechanix.com went live yesterday. Lots of amazing features, including generous music samples and a super mischievous chatbot. More 1990s and new stuff to come, but the structural bones and a lot of good stuff are already there.

Another brilliant soul, falling heavy on the heart. Brian Wilson wrote & produced countless golden nuggets, incl. for other artists. His melodies and harmonies were sometimes stunningly beautiful; DNA is imprinted upon a lot of my own work and inspired lifelong love affairs w/ California & surfing.

I posted a 30-second micro short film with a simple premise on IG Stories - had great response (teaser below). I'd like to expand it into an anthology film. Reach out if interested in contributing. Any genre. Any camera. 5 min max. People of all backgrounds welcome, including first-time directors.

I’ve subscribed to The Marginalian (formerly Brain Pickings) for 20 years—by the brilliant Maria Popova. Highly recommend today’s piece about Leonard Cohen on resistance (see excerpt) & other post-election work: "A Lighthouse for Dark Times" and "Oliver Sacks on Despair and the Meaning of Life."

Best post I've seen in response to the election. Beautifully expressed.

I saw this on Threads. Beautiful perspective, worth sharing. I've frequently been in real-world spaces mirroring online. Even one person who takes the time to know you & your work beyond superficial requirements > being another random body in a meaningless collection.

I wish most of today’s media—and the money behind it—had the integrity of Hubert Mewhinney. In school and early career, I was taught not just to write or sensationalize what people say, but to report with depth. Now, profit drives news, and it’s more lucrative to repeat lies rather than expose them:

Does The Bear count as comedy? Yes. Dark dramedy that blurs lines. The humor comes from relatable characters in recurring settings (situational) + absurd circumstances that release tension (comedy). Similar dramedies include Atlanta, BoJack Horseman & Transparent. A recent film example is The Menu.
