"It was not an act of treason, nor possibly even of defiance. But it was a calculated withdrawal, from the life of the Republic, from its machinery. Whatever else was being denied them out of hate, indifference to the power of their vote, loopholes, simple ignorance, this withdrawal was their own, unpublicized, private."
Happy birthday, Alex Chilton. December boys got it bad.
10 minutes to the WPRB 25-hour Holiday Marathon!
For your holiday feasting needs, I present Victuals, a delicious and nutritious musical mix:
Re-tooting my 2018 Halloween playlist, 8+ hours of eclectic, more or less seasonally appropriate music:
I'm late (wasn't awake at 6:02am), but Happy Mole Day!
It's my #scrobbleversary! Since 2006, I've listened to 325,106 tracks, or ~63 per day.
That total includes 24,062 unique songs by 3,845 artists across 5,454 albums.
In the spirit of the season, here's a spooky #PerfectSong : "Cannibals Gone Wild" by old-school Louisville punks, Skull of Glee. https://youtu.be/IjVMO3vHWP8
Happy Pierre Menard Day! Choose a classic and begin writing it yourself. No cheating!
Happy Chet Arthur Day. If ever we could find inspiration in a machine politician suddenly discovering integrity, it's now.
I haven't really done any new playlists since 8tracks was resurrected, so I'll just be lazy and re-post last year's Labor Day mix:
Happy Pi Approximation Day!
I missed the news that 8tracks had been raised from the dead back in April. All my old playlists are still available at http://8tracks.com/donutage
Happy Bloomsday! I think I'll cosplay Molly this year and spend the whole day in bed.
