TALKING ABOUT LENGTH ABOUT OBSCURE MUSIC

Four or five years ago I got into the habit of just, writing, as an idle activity. Writing the same things over and over to try to solidify thoughts. I have so many redundant txt files and phone app notes. Sometimes they are about music. A year ago or so, I started putting them online in the hopes that maybe I can court strangers and wellwishers to liking the same bonkers music I do.

• on Norwegian all-girl folk-punk band KATZENJAMMER and their globalist sensibilities
• "Sleepyhead" by the Brothers Creeggan - complex simplicity/simple complexity
• THIS IS CAMERA: No thoughts, just bass guitar (Kill Everything)
• "Inside Out" by Spoon, my favorite song of the decade (not obscure)
• Casey James & The Staypuft Kid, the band that helped launch Adventure Time
• On Amy X Neuburg and a local scene of fringe electronic artists I got to briefly take a tiny role in
• The arrangement of Barenaked Ladies' "Ordinary" and how it compares to Steven Page's "A New Shore"

Here is a lot more about the Barenaked Ladies, because they are a band I have some complicated feelings about (used to love em, don't really anymore) and nobody I know is willing to talk to me about them:

• Trying to enjoy the new (2021) Barenaked Ladies album "Detour De Force"
• Suddenly understanding b-side "Inline Bowline"
