Took a hot bath and listened to Labradford's "Prazision" in the dark. Can't recommend it enough. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Am i wrong to assume that cis folks make up the majority gender affirming care?

I'm back on my winter movie watching - highly recommend "Downtown 81" performances by Grey, DNA, Kid Creole and others. youtu.be/Jc2D8f1iFbg?...

I've gotten more information on my insurance and things are worse than I imagined, under my current plan my premiums are going up 104% over last year.

“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)

Today's Beat Connection post is about the Smylonylon mixes, which expanded the parameters of what a beat-matched set might include, and its equally diverting successor mixes from Codek Records. Smylonylon 001 goes perfectly with the holiday cooking! michaelangelo.substack.com/p/bc150-five...

Just learning about lampshade traps for Spotted Lanternfly might want to ready to break them out this coming year Detroit. portal.ct.gov/-/media/caes...

my whole day has been made up of listening to smylonylon mixes and it is perhaps the highlight of this rather lousy slowly dragging on week I have been experiencing. djgloor.bandcamp.com

Some love for the smylonylon - you love to see it. open.substack.com/pub/michaela...

A group of Michigan lawmakers are pushing ICE to release four teenagers and their families who are seeking asylum after fleeing their home countries.

My current health insurance is slated to go up 22% this year. Just give me single-payer health care already.

I'm not sure using the acronym POS for a health insurance program bodes well for the quality of insurance.

Looking forward to folks posting their Hoopla wrapped.

this morning's posting on @zugislander.bsky.social 's substack is well worth a read to folks that care about Detroit and foreclosures. detroit.substack.com

passed the robot test. again.

dishwasher, stand mixer, and paper shredder all going at the same time. Nice set.

Someone played this Prefab Sprout track today on NTS, truly mesmerizing. youtu.be/J-P7yVqJ9Wk?...

ya love to see it.

Heads up folks - Sessa is playing Detroit next spring.

My brain is really having trouble comprehending reality.

I make a point of not celebrating the death of anyone. This can be challenging at times.

finished "A Scanner Darkly" last night. I didn't expect it to be so funny. my brain feels a bit scrambled like a suit.

detroit music nerds - the cases on the third floor of the DPL main branch are filled with all kinds of underground rock/jazz ephemera. You should check.

Anyone know the story of how Kevin Shields ended up doing this Bow Wow Wow remix? youtu.be/yUMLev7dg8I?...

I find Dexy's Midnight Runners' style changes more interesting than their music.

Internet, I found my copy of Cloud One's "Atmosphere Strut" I thought I had lost. Some order is being restored to the world. youtu.be/eijQykHfqkI?...

starting to get spooky over here. Folks have some favorite spooky jams? youtu.be/uY4cVhXxW64?...

This mix is really doing it for me today. youtu.be/6fHjrzk0ikE?...

always kind of a strange day when the Cato Institute appears to be the voice of reason.

I'd listened to Wire's Pink Flag a ton of times, but never really given 154 a fair listen. It's quickly becoming a favorite. youtu.be/aulVyCui5ss?...

quick search of iNaturalist shows some folks reporting spotted lanternfly in Detroit this fall.

Last week's heaviness extending into this week. Haven't finished even paying my respects to David Ball, and the news of Phil Lesh comes along, and now Jack DeJohnette.

You can imagine my confusion as a young fan of punk and being told about this amazing punk band the Slits. youtu.be/SqiFYcKEhxs?...

what a looker.

getting ready to go hang out in the dark warehouse with the lads.

the other day they said them jewels was priceless, now they are saying they are worth $102 million. What happened?

A nice gentle dreamy way to start the day.
