Wow we only had snow in Albany

My favorite time of the day in Albany

One of the best guitar solos of the 80s, right where you'd expect it (45 seconds into a Squeeze song)

Yeah I guess I don't even think about them as much as I should because I don't even know what church they represent. A lot are scams and the real work is done quietly.

It's way more than 5%. If every Christian charity pulled up stakes tomorrow the government would not be able to handle it even for a week. The government system almost broke down on its own recently. If you've been hurt enough and looked broke enough, you've been to St. Whoever's Hospital.

It's really joyful, and the rabbit hole isn't too deep because they don't have a big catalog yet.🔺

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com The cross is part of the mission. The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday 6:32 AM • 4/2/26 • 365K Views

Wow—the Pope is going with full-on liberation theology:

Who's up getting Maundy?

If you're like me (politically inconvenient to the administration with an Ellis Island-y last name) you shouldn't feel too comfortable here. They're debating birthright citizenship right now. We're next.

More of this. I have been happier since I made friends with a local consulate and started to learn their national language. Feeling trapped is psychically damaging.

I think about this book/film so often.

Johanna Stark celebrates her comedy reintroduction at Uproar Look, we could try and write a cute lead-in to explain Johanna Stark’s comedy journey. But honestly? She does a much better job of summing it up than we ever could.

a nice lil interview and profile about the show tonight ! 🥰

The local alt weekly horoscopologist says that I am going to have a new romantic encounter in early April, which means I will either listen to New Romantic music (like Duran Duran), or some stranger on the bus will pummel me with a Danielle Steele hardcover.

Thank you all for your patience with my recent flurry of releases. I should probably explain. This project was born on the desert, but I want it to continue now that I moved back to my native New York State. I treasured my time on the Mojave, and it was vital to my development as an artist, but I feel like I needed to add a punctuation mark to the era. Making the 'best of' tracks from the archive available to you all helped me feel like I made a clean break. A new phase awaits. So much of what I do will remain the same as the characteristic aspects of what I do predate my time on the desert, but I do expect some artistic changes. I hope you stay with me, and that you are open to music that glorifies and reflects the sweeping landscapes of Upstate New York. I am so appreciative of the support you have given me over the last eight years. May you always receive similar blessings in your life. With eternal love, R

This is a message I sent to my Bandcamp followers, but I wanted you all to see it as well.

My newsletter tomorrow is called “When ‘Christ Is King!’ Doesn’t Mean Jesus.”

In it, I invite us to reflect on Jesus “triumphal entry” from Matthew 21:1-11 and how his posture contrasts with the way the phrase “Christ is king” is used today.
