Happy 19th to our ‘Van Occupanther’!

We had a tour guide in the Yucatán telling us this last week shit was kinda crazy

Wilmington, Dover, Rehoboth, Dewey Beach

Insane final line

Dreamt last night that I was reading an abridged version of Gravity's Rainbow where all of the really nasty parts were cut out. And the whole thing was very easy to follow, too.

Sick of yelling “REPRESENTATIVE” into the phone 10 times just to talk to a human being? My new bill makes sure you don’t have to talk to a clanker if you don’t want to.

Oh

Just played a great set at Rhizome, DC’s finest underground venue and a dream gig for a long time. Did I ask any of my friends who came to photograph me there? No!!!!!!

American singer- songwriter and accordionist Flaco Jiménez has died at 86. He played solo and in the bands Los Super Seven and Texas Tornados and gained mainstream exposure in the 1996 Mavericks hit “All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down”. #RIPFlacoJimenez m.youtube.com/watch?v=5_XdVl…

“Fantasy on Porgy & Bess” by the Gershwin Piano Quintet, I love when they do these piano-centric arrangements

"God Save the Animals" by Alex G, he makes all the computer processing tolerable

"La Linea" by Lila Downs, from the first few moments, with that oddly heavy searching basslines, I knew this would be a great, idiosyncratic listen

"After the Gold Rush" by Neil Young, it feels like it is in its own hermetic world, one still trying to reach out to the common idioms but from a difficult distance.

"Ev'ry Day of My Life" by Bobby Vinton, highly listenable

"Rhinestone Campbell" by Glen Campbell, writing micro-reviews, I now get why Christgau woudl sometimes just list the tracks he likes on some records. Title track. Randy Newman cover. Record collector's dream....

"The Burning World" by Swans, this is a seriously good record. They had a talent for making this kind of music and I don't think it should be pooh-poohed at all

"After EP" by After, it's a bit airy-fairy for me, but not bad
