"So take that laminate out of your wallet and read it || And recommit yourself to the healing of the world || And to the welfare of all creatures upon it || Pursue a practice that will strengthen your heart" 🌾

The most romantic song ever written. Maybe.

PowerPoints and late-nights and quiet despair and faith in the possibility of a better world 🌎

People who say they aren't making great, new music haven't heard Florence Welch yet.

Joan + Apollonia + Florence, according to my translation.

The Magnetic Fields, or any outfit associated with Stephin Merritt—those are the records you get on CD.

Not vinyl, not digital masters.
Cracked-shell sets still in the paper packaging, used. 69 Love Songs. You display it on a desk. Leaf through the square lyric booklet. Bring it in your tote to the drag r***e. Lend it to a friend at a sleepover.

Only compact discs can hold Jesse James and William Tell. 🍎🍏

Turning thirty this November should express a hundred or perhaps a thousand feelings in my chest. Instead, time feels syrupy, the inertia of each day gathering moments like dew on grass blades. But dew is fleeting too.

I suppose thirty felt resoundingly more intense for Mitski (a SUNY girl), having launched so intensely as this collegiate ingenue. Jesus died at thirty-three. Alexander breached beyond Macedonia to the world by 20.

I still don't know what I want to do.

Tonight's pink-orange-dark blue sky lasted not even a half-hour. I watched it set outside the Park Avenue bodega, broken focus by light of my phone, as it cast shadows on the intersection. A car played motown.

I'm glad I saw it alone, still 29 years old. Time is syrup. Tapped and tapping.

Rolling Stone compared this record to Lou Reed or Tom Verlaine (lazy), but I mainly like that it features a song about the ancient city of Troy on it.

The song I doodled is about Yul Brynner however.

I wish Yul Brynner had played Aeneas.

I drew this far, far before Lizzo enchanted on that crystal colonial flute. I already aggressively liked her then. I aggressively love❤️🧡 her now.

I hope they wiped it down beforehand though, James Madison was always sneezing.

"Signal into the sky" 🌃
[Don't Bother Calling, 2017]

The world distilled through the gauze of a migraine is at once, too bright and too dull. It's heavy and pulsing and alive. It numbs the lips and clogs the ears. It swallows to the side of the tongue until breathing tastes metallic. It makes you nauseous. Makes the world spin.

It also tends to happen on weekends. Intermittently.

Moses Sumney is a gift. Even mid-migraine.

Would Phoebe have been the same sort of songwriter in 1975? Or would her whisper voice demand a piano, like Carole King? Tears sprinkling notes over lap guitars like Joni Mitchell? Even an entire band to fuel her sapphic angst like Fleetwood Mac?

Phoebe definitely fills the spaces in your chest not unlike Joni. But if Joni is thick wine and thicker ice (O Canada), Phoebe is light and whisper, Salinger heroine and a bit too accessible through modern social media.

I still liked her SNL performance though.

This song comes up often on shuffle - I too missed Lemmy and Bowie, in lonely ways. They remind me of friends I don't talk to nearly enough anymore. Memories encased in plastic - leaking condensation if you try to peer too close.

And that's very much an ingredient of any good Autumn season - crunchy memories and ghosts. (And for Phoebe; skeletons) 🍂

Sometimes the best way to recall a memory is to write it down.
A shoebox collection, of sorts, from Burke, Virginia. Fitting the Silas Burke House is a retirement community now.
