It’s been a hack joke for years but at this point I would actually *prefer* if the Supreme Court was just a regular court with tomatoes and sour cream.

I try not to be defeatist at times like these, but it is very hard to not feel like we’re never going to see any meaningful progress in America again until, like, seven or eight very specific people die.

Going to use a modicum of positive energy on yet another shitty day in America to promote a random prog record I like: HOMESICK by Chain Reaktor (from Amsterdam!) is a perfect blend of energetic progressive chops and killer melodies. For fans of Genesis and Spock’s Beard.

Now that he is immune to prosecution for official acts, I think what Joe Biden should do about the six conservative Supreme Court justices is [a very loud train rushes by, it’s not clear what I was trying to say]

RIP to record producer Peter Collins. Worked with a ton of artists and produced a number of great prog albums, namely the first Flying Colors record and much of Rush’s work in the eighties and nineties, including my favorite synth-era Rush record, HOLD YOUR FIRE (1987).

I do think it’s remarkable that Biden has one bad debate performance and the media is like “he should drop out for the good of the country!” but they aren’t saying the same thing about the convicted felon who attempted a coup. Anyway, I’m sure it’s fine.

A dive bar in Portland called Bonfire Lounge had an incredible happy hour and a habanero Reuben that is to this day my favorite sandwich I’ve ever had. Loved the place so much I wrote it into the novel I’m working on.

I enjoy the “What’s In My Bag?” series on Amoeba Records’ YouTube channel, where musicians go around the store and pick out records that they love and nerd out about music for a few minutes.

My rule of thumb is to listen to everything in an artist’s catalogue up until about a week or two out from the show, and then I don’t listen to anything by them for that last stretch so that every song sounds fresh when I see them live

I like when the coffee machine finishes brewing your coffee and lets out that long exhale like a roadie that just finished loading in Terry Bozzio’s drum set.

It actually feels insulting to my intelligence as an American for them to have one of these pointless-ass presidential debates, man. Just send them onstage and make them dunk their heads in giant bowls of marinara sauce and bob for meatballs, who gives a fuck.

I just saw a clip of Sammy Hagar explaining the inspiration behind “I Can’t Drive 55” and it is exactly what you expect the story to be, until he says the number 62.

Certainly I won’t stop you if you choose to throw me in there, but I don’t consider myself “starter pack” material. I’m more “obscure side project that only a couple hundred people listen to and secretly kicks ass” material. I’m like the Neal Morse Band of Bluesky.

And it's absolutely insane that this is even up for discussion because BEFORE Covid, plenty of people wore masks. Just not a large portion of the population. And no one cared. Mask bans are 100% a culture war bullshit stance, because masks work.

Few culture war topics are as baffling to me as the grown adult men who are angry that their videogame ladies don’t have big giant honkers due to woke or whatever, and then have the audacity to complain about it on the entire internet—where there are real big giant honkers aplenty.
