my experience with interviewing for non-arts jobs (admin asst stuff in my case) at 25 vs 35 was HUGE. I would get to the end of an interview over and over again at Cornell and every time at the end they would suspiciously ask, "what do you want work here?" because I was a musician.

"Abscission" is the sound of a family that's incapable of loving one another. My psychiatrist once told me that "neglect is one of the worst kinds of abuse because it happens every day." It's slow, unassuming, and seemingly innocuous but so insidious.

I'm in a new place now creatively where I don't feel like I need to process trauma through music anymore & I'm not sure what's on the other side of that. It's exciting & also scary. Jon's an important person in my life & I'm glad I could make him play Frère Jacques in this piece about my shit family

I am truly truly sorry about the cost of both the CD and download. I have tried to change it but am powerless to do so.

I knew the free "arts consultant" was bad news when after the first meeting she gave me some "homework" to "take a whole day once a week to not work on your art" and I was like lady have you ever met anyone with kids

I was just shown a promoted ad on Instagram for a concert that seems to be a guy on stage by himself playing drums to famous emo songs. Someone please go to this for me. dice.fm/event/8e3gp7...

Mara told me she didn’t think the Brandi Carlile show would be “all lesbians” and well, technically she’s correct.

Biden is clearly unfit. There is only one choice for Democrats to get us out of this mess. We must run Hillary Clinton.

Cis women generally don’t listen to harsh noise. If you know women who do they are most likely trans or have some sort of hormonal imbalance

best new music burn ever is X being asked why he never worked at the SWR studio and he said, "It's Stockhausen's kingdom and he never invited me. And besides, all their equipment is 20 years out of date anyway."

I just uploaded a live recording of a performance of Morton Feldman's "Crippled Symmetry" I was part of in 2013 right before I left Austin. This was on my bandcamp before I took the page down, glad to make it available again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oW9...

every time there's kind of a mid-level indie band that I actually really like I think, gee wouldn't it be great if their label sent them on tour for 2 years straight so that they never want to play music again at the end of it

maybe one of the more surprising but less talked about music history facts is that Dave Grohl didn’t know what multirods were until moments before Unplugged.

I've always been suspicious of "arts consultants" offering career guidance in exchange for money but I've been seeing one the last few months because it was free and I was curious and well let's just say I'm glad I'm not paying for it.
