Rain 🌧️ out now. One take, into a laptop mic. I put my version of Patty Griffin's "Rain" on YouTube in 2010, and she shared it. Now I'm pulling it out of the archive and releasing it. links.adnjms.com
cleaning out my walkin to make room for more recording & AV gear.. found some of my more avant-garde outfits (yes i’m keeping it)
i don’t get the appeal of SXSW. the official operator says if selected they max pay you $100 (200 maybe) or give you a week pass.
they demand acts pay travel, meals, accommodations, transport and equipment transit.
how would anyone say yes to that?

We, as Ex-Muslims, are one step closer to being persecuted in America for the crime of speaking out against Islam.
Are you counting how many Muslims will be representing us in Congress in January 2027?
Congressman Andre Carson
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar

Voting NO on Philadelphia Ballot Question 2 (Creative Philadelphia).
This would lock the city’s arts office — currently an executive-order creation under Valerie Gay — permanently into the charter. A future mayor couldn’t shrink, move, or eliminate it without another voter referendum.
1. We don’t need another permanent gatekeeper that blocks indie artists while favoring major institutions.
2. It creates more taxpayer-funded bureaucratic jobs. No more swamp.
3. Gay has little to show that justifies her salary or authority. Her decisions already function as personal gatekeeping over who gets access.
4. City agencies should stay accountable and subject to regular reassessment — not be made permanent by default.

Open the museums after dark, sling cold brew, lattes and cappuccinos, hire jazz musicians, have a dress code, and finally let adults have a night out that isn't just sweat, bad lighting, and pretending the club doesn't suck.
