Since Conan O'Brien is all over socials right now, here’s a clip that explains why - no matter how many people try and tear me down for “peddling hopium” - I continue to see the silver lining. From his farewell speech:

Thank you @variety &anyone who takes time to listen & absorb my songs.

'His entire What Matters Most album is full of trenchant observations, well-sung, but boy, did this one in particular capture a moment. Or maybe an entire future American mood.' 🙏🏻

Lovely turnout for today’s Tuesday 10/17 benjamin folds’ meet & greet signing! Big thanks to Ben for hanging with fans before his show tonight at Bayou Music Center! Did you miss the signing? Fret not; Ben signed extra copies of his new album ‘What Matters Most’ on CD and vinyl for us!

What an informative and inspiring (if daunting) symposium! Also! I bet every person in that room knows the piano part to this song.

That amazing moment when Aloe Blacc started singing after moderating our American Institutes for Research Equity Initiative symposium because my grandma’s friend said “take us out on something” and benjamin folds was in the crowd!

I’ll be there!

What a great shop! Oooooh if I didn’t have a gig to get to I’d just loiter until closing time. Thank you!

At rehearsal w Minnesota Orchestra and I discovered that @l_acoustics monitors & Allbirds shoes are a good match. The shoes are sonically transparent and the speakers… I mean I don’t feel like I’m even wearing them

That is messed up! The MySpace reunion in 2008 had marked forever since we’d played together. But time has accelerated. Now, the reunion itself is double forever ago… but seems like half the time ago. 🤷🏻
