Music for William Eggleston's Stranded in Canton, by J Spaceman & John Coxon 10 track album

It's this. (Whips, in my estimation. Saw them score the film live here in LA last year too.)

At minute 31, di Prima talks about moving from NY to SF in 1968, joining in with the Diggers/Free City people there, the work she started generating for certain public events. She reads "April Fool Birthday Poem for Grandpa," which is about the inspiration/example of her anarchist grandfather.

As far as I'm concerned, anyone else who buys it is committing fraud and should be arrested

Not Thrasher! Thrasher is great! I’m talking about the one (I’m not yet disclosing what it is) I discuss on my own forthcoming appearance. I think, uh, even the hardcores largely hate it, but I love it to bits

As they roll out one heavy hitter after the next to discuss their NY song of choice eloquently and persuasively, I start to wonder about my forthcoming appearance stanning for one of Neil’s most perverse and maligned (but secretly great) songs. JJT is great here

God, the people who say this shit are—to a person—so fucking stupid, every last one of them. The contempt I feel for anyone who uses the inevitability argument is indescribable. They’re basically mollusks

ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign.

Pass it on.

Would like to see (or give) this as a blurb, tbh. “I would go to the post office for this novel. I would visit the DMV to renew its license!”

Man, as someone who hates going to the post office with the fire of a thousand suns likewise, I am SOLD. On it

Lemme tell you, my eyes bulged out of my head like a Looney Tunes character's when I saw Ned's repost of your library music collection yesterday. I'm traveling, so won't have access to my listening post for a bit but I know what's gonna dominate my stereo for the forseeable. What a gift! Thank you!

Great record. I’m no kind of super fan there by any means, but his is a weird and intermittently enjoyable catalog when he’s not on that dull blues (what did Miles Davis say? A “no-playing motherfucker?”) shit

That record pretty much does suck, but some of the earlier ones (Sailor, say) ain’t bad

Yep. On the one hand, I—well, I won’t say I “regret” parting with it, because you’re more worthy of it than I ever could be, and because it was my pleasure, but it’s one of the greatest musical assemblages ever to pass through my hands. Astonishing work

No kidding. Maybe these are outtakes from Danny’s FIRST book, which is all variations on this theme tho (“I’ll switch brands when/“ etc)

This is propaganda.

I mean, who knows? I will admit that the amount of time I spend thinking about Hunter Biden remains about where it's always been: none at all

Just the dumbest and most humiliating imperial decline shit all around, really. Sigh.

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability
