Nick Drake’s Pink Moon was one of those records I went back to while writing this album. I wanted these arrangements to be sparse and minimal like Pink Moon. There are a lot of odd shapes and inverted chords, as on In The Morning and Ocean Between Us. #newmusic #musicsky #folk #lofi #whiskeyblues

I’m in a bookstore now. This shelf holds books from publishers affected by the russian attack on August 1, when eight million books were destroyed. The bookstore is asking people to buy their books. I wanted to remember this shelf.

These songs came together quickly, the recording and mixing took a while longer. It always does. Part singer/songwriter, part soundtrack. Dark folk with lingering notes of jazz and blues, with cello. Now on #bandcamp, streaming later this week. #musicsky #newmusic #soundtrack #musiciansky #folk

When enough rain falls in Maltahöhe, Namibia, millions of desert lilies bloom across the landscape for just a few days each year. This natural phenomenon briefly transforms the arid desert into a sea of flowers almost overnight. IG: @ earthpix

Less than a week now until the release of the first Django Flowers album - A Flame Burned Pure it's a lo-fi dark folk affair with some early comparisons to Damien Rice and Nick Drake. djangoflowers.bandcamp.com #music #musicsky #bandcamp #newmusic #folk

If you publish with Ingram, you need to opt out from them knowingly selling your books to companies which then use those books to train AI. It should be opt in, but as with all this shit, it's opt out. So make sure you opt out. Here's a link to the opt-out form: www.ingramcontent.com/page/ai-opt-...

If you're worried about the reviews your book or record might have on the internet, remember the Himalayas have a 4.3 out of 5 star rating on Google Maps.

Two weeks until the launch of my first record under the name DJANGO FLOWERS. It came to me in a vision. A lofi folk album with sound design experiments. An atmospheric trip through finding your own feet, deals with the devil, finding love, mourning, and mortality. #originalmusic #musiciansky

Sirens don't "lure men to their death" -- Sirens are just some ladies singing. Maybe let's focus on the men who seem to think every hot girl's song is an invitation to self-destruction.

Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.

“A Chinese human rights lawyer has been arrested by ICE, raising concerns he could be deported to China where he would face persecution. Wu Shaoping fled China at the end of 2019 amid a crackdown on human rights lawyers.”

A simple measure. It’s boiling hot out there and stuff is on fire. The only people with the money and power to change that spend all day in isolated air conditioned spaces, and have the means and wealth to move freely away from the problems without a second thought. It’s not going to work.

We have to tax billionaires not just because thats what tax is fucking for, but because they’re almost by definition sociopaths, so will do the absolute dumbest, cruelest, weirdest shit. You don’t allow world-changing power to only be given to people who don’t actually share your world with you.

is anybody trying to go see the odyssey with friends by only buying a ticket for one wooden horse?

Writing is little like sailing. Visibility is low. The seas are rough. Sirens call you to the rocks. The moon plays tricks on the waves. Questions wash ashore – where is this going? Which way to the far shore of the final draft? Recalibrate your compass with a short coaching session #writersky

Dostoevsky wrote Lindsey Graham’s epitaph in Crime and Punishment: “Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.”

Charles de Lint has responded to the questions about his AI cover on FB. It boils down to "while it's bad the tool was created through theft, I'm still using it" which is ... not great. If artists are not going to stand with other artists, no one will. Highly disappointing.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

it's very cool that i (and many many of my talented friends) had to leave journalism in order to consistently pay my rent and now it's full of people who actually hate writing

Marie Claire actually left a prompt from an AI in one of their recent articles. While there’s still some great journalists and publications left, this is utterly shocking. No wonder I’m trying to pivot.

You can't get a character to do anything. Sometimes you just have to listen to them when they show that they're more spineless than you intended and embrace it. Then sit there staring into the middle distance and realise the dimension this brings the book. #writing #writersky #writingcommunity

For those who say this story is fake, I give you the wise words of Werner Herzog: If I were only interested in facts I would buy the telephone directory of Manhattan. It has four million entries, and they are all correct, but it does not illuminate.

This sounds like the greatest afternoon ever. "These are the otters. They're heavily invested in crypto and mortal enemies of the giraffes who, as I'm sure you know, are dedicated Maoists."
