CVS, NYC / 20240125.1521
I spent ten minutes last Thursday afternoon wandering a Brooklyn CVS while waiting for an Rx. This was my first time back in a city pharmacy since returning from 2+ months in Florida. Amazing how many more shelves are inaccessible than when I left.…

[aired] truth is a lonely cali
In a serene and random Creative Commons YouTube use this week, Truth Is a Lonely Place [Disquiet 0138] soundtracks a beach sunset at the 12:22 mark in a half-hour journey through California’s North Coast by videographer Michael Bonic.
The original track is off my 2014 record Particle Theory:
…and was composed in 2014 for the Disquiet Junto #0138 – Video Sonic Void.…

Welcome to the Smartocracy
The big epidemic of this age is not Covid, or some other transmissible medical sickness, but rather, an epidemic of certainty. Everyone is so effing sure that they’re correct about everything.
I may be wrong, but I’m never in doubt.

Spins 2023: Vol 7
Vol 7: Comfort Foods
Sometimes only lyrics can bring salve against the world’s absurdity, so no wordless vinyl made it to the turntable in this edition. I kinda needed to escape to the familiar of late, and there is no warmer embrace than some fav records, no?

Scratch ’n Sniff Dot Net
If the web was scratch ‘n sniff, how many posts would you bring to your nose?
If sites and blogs emitted odors, how far would you keep your phone from your face when you check the subway status?
