Ms. Rachel 2028

most relatable thing about Zohran is that Stereogum passed on writing about his music

That Kiké Hernandez is one wild guy, I'll tell you that

635 on the side of the piano today for the win

i'm taking a mixing class right now and oh boy have i been doing things pretty wrong for...years ?

there's someone in Bonn, Germany who listens to a specific fur trader song an average of 7 times a day and I really wish I could talk to that person

it would be August in Illinois, humidity at 100%, and you're running the mile in gym class in the hot afternoon sun, and you get done and there's one water fountain and there's a long line. the bell rings. you gotta get to class. no water until you get home from school.

my heart goes out to the real losers of this week- the v normal folks who thought there was a giant alien mothership coming to earth and it turning out to be a ball of ice

I'm...liking this stuff happening very much.

what a joke this piece is

I am thinking about this cover yet again

just learned the director of KPop demon hunters' kid is in my daughter's preschool (a very un-fancy one) and I don't know what to do with that info

being a multi-instrumentalist and recordist is a ton harder than only knowing how to do one thing because you have to do the work of 6 people for the economy of one. I thought it would be my thing- a one stop shop type of guy- but I may have misstepped in that thinking! just processing out loud!

I can't believe how much daylight savings throws a wrench in our lives for absolutely no reason. depression sets in due to the darkness, kids can't regulate themselves to the new schedule. it's totally brutal and totally avoidable by just...not doing it lol

Dave Roberts telling everyone in LA to take off work on a Monday to go to the dodgers parade is funny because no one actually works here

oh my god this album

Bahld Harmon lol

daylight savings with a toddler- yet again- not going great.

happy 10 year anniversary to maybe the best baroque pop album of all time

weekend agent of chaos

listening to my neighbor's new band (snocaps)

@joshterry.bsky.social that cover image for today's newsletter is super cool

James McCartney looks so much like his dad but he has a London accent which really trips me out for some reason

it's very clear that taylor swift should just hire dave cobb and literally every country player at the top of their game to make a big americana album at woodland studios. duh

reply with a cover song you'd want to hear done this way and I'll try to record each one if I can?...

for the Wednesday morning crowd:

hi. I put a Bazan cover up on my Substack. recorded straight to the reel to reel, etc. Tune in if you'd like:

baseball's fun

THEY’RE HEEEEEEERE!!!!!!!!! www.undertheradarmag.com/news/premier...

Sony Music indie rocker alex Giannascoli

Imagine caring about your work so little that you use Suno to fully produce and turn your voice memo melodic idea into a song and pass it off as some sort of innovation that musicians who work with real music just don't understand and then you release these everywhere into the world on a daily basis

some really incredible sounds on this, woah: davidcarlisle.bandcamp.com/album/leavin...

a song about a relationship dying on a trip to Memphis, the (sometimes) perilous inevitability of an artist dating another artist.

fascinating stuff. Susan Rogers on the neuro-science of panning instruments:

started using a VU meter to monitor instead of constantly watching the peak meters. i love it

i re-implemented a strict 24 hour cancelation policy for the small amount of students i have now because some people were just not showing up at all and I wouldn't get paid, and those people are now just canceling 24 hours ahead lol

whenever I go to a 2 level Target to get one specific thing I will always park on the wrong floor, even though I'm convinced it's the right floor. a man of constant sorrow

sombr is a meditation app

using a hardware buss compressor versus a plugin is truly night and day. I know this is common knowledge, but wow. as a person who enjoys musical things, I can't go back

just recorded a song called "Michael Dudikoff" for someone

I watched a few clips of SNL from this weekend and doggone do I feel like:

nola

mark ruffalo

for the Friday crew

"Amen, Pioneer (Or Hard Livin' in the Age of Aquarius)", a new Fur Trader song, is out everywhere today. Thanks for being here.

girl loves the rain

The end of E.T. will never not make me weep. man. my 3yo daughter is obsessed with the movie and every time we watch the end I'm just a total wreck.

new Fur song on Wednesday 🌊🎨

would have been really fun to be here for a cubs/dodgers series. ah well. great team, felt even more confident in the playoffs than the 2014-16 cubs for some reason. next year

on a walk with my fearless kid
