Baseball musing after reading Christina Lorey's substack following the Brewers loss last night. Yes, there's a substack too, goes by Primitive Ledger. Just notes at this point, maybe something soon, but here's the team of summer note :) - open.substack.com/pub/christin...

Today is July 4th, 2025. Even the fireworks have lost heart. Today is a black day. Fittingly, this afternoon I am learning about the Orwell Generator, a system of microtonic scale-making designed to help express unease and disquietude... Moods for this day, in these times. g.co/kgs/mDx1qeN #orwell

A Gene Hackman film not being mentioned often as he is being remembered, but the film that is my favorite of his, is Scarecrow with Al Pacino (1973). So sad, and so terrifying. #genehackman #rip

Doing some playlisting for Janice's upcoming classical release and am discouraged by how many lists are designed for relaxing background and sleep. Where are the playlists for "people who love music and are into hearing new things"?? #Spotify #playlisting

The exit out, and off the Lost Highway, seemed to come out of nowhere. RIP David Lynch. And this happens in the afternoon of the world without Bob Uecker. Two great voices, two of the greatest, gone today. This is a new and different place we've come to.

It's Bandcamp Friday! Primitivebroadcast.bandcamp.com/merch We are not on Bluesky very much, but we are beginning to run low on the Colors for Chameleon 12" vinyl LP and wanted to let you know. J.D. thinks it's fun to see how much SWAG he can cram into one LP shipping box, so now's the time!

Some pics taken at the Kamala Harris - Tim Walz event in Milwaukee Tuesday, which, it should be said was like a walk in a peaceful park on a beautiful day compared to the high tension disgust felt in the city during the RNC convention in July. And no one was murdered by cops, despite their presence.

So sorry I missed this. We were on the road that Saturday. We have since discovered an experimental tribute to Oxbow, which we will be sharing to our SoundCloud very soon.
