I’ll probably talk mostly about my record labels, the classical music biz, running, and TCU sports. It’s mainly to entertain myself, so no promises about being interesting.
Planning to be productive (work-wise) on a holiday weekend was a fool’s errand.
Many thanks to @grahamrickson.bsky.social and @bernardhughes.bsky.social for the lovely write ups here.

Gotta love a community celebrating their “win”, when the win is making a dangerous street more dangerous through the middle of multiple schools. I suppose I should “celebrate” the city keeping the bike lanes where I use them the most at least. Dumb f***s.

There a very contentious “safer street” debate in the neighborhood right now and all the NIMBY folks of all stripes swear they never see people out of cars, and anytime I’m biking or running on it, I’m floored by their car brain. The street was hopping with people outside of cars this morning.
