@cacola.bsky.social Hi, I recently received an email containing a link to your work reappropriating a withdrawn piece of music I wrote 15 years ago and wanted to tell you how impressed and flattered I am by the results. I'd love to know a little more information re: your process. Follow back and DM?

I quit a corporate data entry job after three weeks because part of the office's hazing ritual seemingly involved blaming new hires for shitting and pissing on the bathroom floor via internal memorandum. I'm generally not interested in being abused if it doesn't end with me coming so I walked.

I did the thing you're all doing. My criteria was that my perception of music was so changed by the record that I don't feel like I was the same person on the other side of hearing it. I first experienced all of these in order from top to bottom/left to right. Complete album information in alt-text.

Aardvark - s/t (Deram, 1970 - r. Esoteric, 2011) Organ-heavy whimsical rock, like a more blue-collar Caravan. Supposedly a follow up was cut many years later, but I’ve had no luck tracking it down. #CDFriday

With his latest project of sitting on the stage while barely conscious as a means of inflating ticket prices by technically being present, Mike Love continues his trend of lagging years behind Brian Wilson.

Impossible to say the first time - probably realizing that I didn't care about sports despite it being the centre of every other 4-5 year old boy's life. I certainly have many vivid memories of not fitting in, but in my defence, I was raised in a deeply conservative Zionist community and am neither.

Last month, I read an awful book. Well-meaning, but bad. Self-published, clearly not edited by anyone, mercifully short enough to get through within an afternoon. A few years ago, I'd have begrudged my wasted time. Now? I relish any human art, bad or otherwise, because at least it came from someone.

Anyone who wants to debate the influence of pop music on society should note that Michael Jackson was fucking children years before it was appropriate for a president to do so.

John Prine would have turned 80 this week. He survived cancer, twice, only to be taken from us too soon anyway, due to complications from all things…COVID-19. Remember COVID? Fuck this shitty timeline, and fuck the people who made it worse. Prine was born in Maywood, Illinois, not too...

The biggest moral takeaway of my life at present is that feelings aren’t choices, but what we do with them is. For the last few years, I’ve chosen to let mine empower my ability to make positive decisions towards sustainable and healthy change with the confidence it will attract good into my world.

How do you find community as a leftist adult who has to cautiously navigate the world due to poor health? I'm tired of feeling like an island but I also feel like most archipelagos wouldn't be mutually compatible with me for one reason or another. I'm pushing 40 and wish I had more to show for it.

Playing Kileak: The DNA Imperative for the first time in a long while. When I got my original PlayStation as a kid, it was one of the titles my folks picked up for it (clearly something more for my dad than me), but I always dug its directness and revisiting it as an adult has been rewarding so far.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap
