This 😞
Love this
Howdy folks, this rare appearance by The Transmissionary Six, and even more rare appearance by James & Katy of Long Wasted, is coming up fast! This will be a lovely, intimate early evening of music 😍 and it’s open to all ages! Save the date, I hope to see you there!
Why are we focusing on the failings of the Democrats? They are complicit in the crimes of the current administration. Many of trump’s policies and actions are just more extreme versions of what Biden was already doing. Look at immigration, Palestine, crackdowns on peaceful protest, etc.
At first they came for [fill in the blank], and we didn’t do anything to defend them, and then they came for [fill in the blank], and we still didn’t do anything, and then they came for us, and there was nobody left to defend us. This is not abstract, not a cliche. What are you gonna do?
I saw more than one sign “Cory 2028” at yesterday’s massive Hands Off rally in Seattle. This is what he voted for 😞
Just a little reminder that Cory Booker, the Dems hero of the moment, voted yes to send more bombs to Israel. I agree with him that it’s not about right or left, it’s about right or wrong. He was deadly wrong on this vote and it’s shameful.

TIHR, thanks so much for spending some time with Richard’s new songs. Reach out to him via text, I’m sure he’d love to chat with you about his music.
OK, so if you do listen to this wonderful new release, I would LOVE to get a thread going about it. There's so much here in these songs, recorded by Richard in his home, it's as if you're there as he tells works out these song/stories for the first time

Thanks to Italian music mag Buscadero for their favorable review of Claire Tucker’s new solo album Revelers out now on Drums & Wires Recordings! @clairejustine.bsky.social #IndieMusic #SeattleMusic
With sweet piano, bass & pedal steel that introduce Claire Tucker’s voice (Conversational Vampire), the catchy Waterfront Property & combining sounds that oscillate between rock ballads (Sea of Averages), graceful melodies (the splendid, regal Plains), Revelers offers immediate, pleasant listening.
Congrats!
Excellent piece. This is the anger, outrage and fight we need, regardless if the Dems can continue to be even remotely relevant vs being a big part of the problem.
Funny, not funny.
If there are no more pennies, how is Spotify going to keep on paying musicians?
Great to connect with you, Howie!
