Here's a version of my essay on recent protest music, which began life in the NPR Music newsletter -- I've expanded it to include thoughts on Benito at the Grammys www.npr.org/2026/02/05/n...

What a joy to talk with this brilliant star 🌟

Well the best daily music critic in the country just got laid off. ENDLESS SCREAMING

"Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say, ICE out." Bad Bunny began his acceptance speech at the Grammys after winning best música urbana album for "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" by criticizing immigration operations across the country.

Tuned in late to the Grammys, damn missed Bruno and Rosé

I like Geese BETTER after that SNL performance. What fan of ripping it up wouldn’t?

Springsteen speaking out, Billy Bragg going Clash mode, protest music is alive -- but it HAS been, you just have to look to Latinx and indigenous hip hop artists and queer folk singers and the Black and brown women who've been doing it all their lives. For example youtu.be/Pf3cbL-5ZNc?...

Well I’m a music critic and I want to offer people something right now so here is a playlist of Minnesota music, maybe stop scrolling and listen for a bit youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I'm watching Ponies bc I love both of those actresses to death... and I'm LOVING the needle drops. Tom Rush! The Alessi Brothers! This wild a capella version of "After the Gold Rush!" And I'm only one episode in. Meanwhile I need to know more about Prelude www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdbC...

The internet agrees: this is an essential critical assessment of Bob Marley's legend and of LEGEND, the album that fomented it

THIS IS EXCITING

In which I make some SWEEPING GENERALIZATIONS about my Seattle home town

the future of journalism

Great writing about an indelible song

Goodbye to a legend and the greatest shorts wearer of all time

In this week's NPR Music newsletter I try to make sense of the intense response to Rosalía's LUX and Geese's GETTING KILLED and identify a shift in music fandom that might be happening. I usually don't post web links to it but I'd love you to read this one view.nl.npr.org?qs=6f1f6e7c2...

My next year is gonna be fun

No thank you

So is this a draft announcement?
