re-sharing to honor the man. may his memory be a blessing and his music continue to lift us

I just made a very difficult call to euthanize our cat and one thing that made it possible for me was using the "quality of life" checklist in this. (There are other helpful bits in there, too.)

suzanne vega doing industrial dembow pop in 1992 was a good moment in music

i'm watching a two hour stretch of MTV from xmas 1985 and i'm drowning in DX7 presets and music videos set in The Future

One thing I love about Madison is that you have pretty good odds of bumping into Rob Dz on any given night. A delightful person who has also fought some long uphill battles in our local cultural scenes. Rob had a heart attack last week. Please help him out if you can.

extremely very fun yes

actually doing revolutionary work means you also must contend with present material reality while building a movement for the future. it is hard to hold those two things at the same time without being subsumed by the former but not impossible
