This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Correct. Truman tried to create a national healthcare system around the same time that European nations were making theirs. It was killed by Dixiecrats because it would have required integrated hospital facilities.

Reading Jennifer Lucy Allen's EOY picks @ The Quietus and again I'm struck with this thought: nobody writes with more genuine passion and insight about weird music, or has better/broader/weirder taste in weird music, than she does. Maybe ever? JLA=GOAT

afternoon bliss with Derek Monypeny's 'Born (Free)' (Personal Archives, 2023). If the uplifting and cerebral drone of OAE is to your taste, Derek comprises one half of that project and his solo work will easily be right up your alley, too!

Hola,
#CDFriday
! Kicking things off with OAE's 'IV', a brilliant power ambient/beatific drone disc issued last year by Iowa's powerhouse Personal Archives label. Not only is it CD Friday, but it's Bandcamp Friday as well, and only 100 of these glass-mastered suckers are kicking around, so hop to it!
