British Columbia is switching their clocks for the last time this Sunday.
There's a lot going on in the world right now, but there is NO reason to not make daylight saving time permanent.
Congress should pass my bill to finally lock the clock.
I have adored Mary Chapin Carpenter's work for decades. One of the great honors of my life to collaborate with her on this single of two covers of songs we love, out today! themountaingoats.bandcamp.com/album/put-th...

Kathleen Edwards- Billionaire - 2025
Love this album. Has that West Coast Americana Folk living on the edge of the world vibe that just feels like home.

You can’t make it up, but her parents apparently did
And let’s be frank, it’s just a way better decade for music.

Brad Mehldau - Ride into the Sun - 2025
Mehldau interprets Elliott Smith. Good stuff.

Seriously elevation for big guys
Post punk, post literate
100% this is about building a database and tracking people.
Democrats seriously need to learn to love a big tent
100%. Whoever wins we roll with.
Let’s go Cascadia, we should all do the same
There’s a video out there somewhere of Klay Thompson hitting 8-10 three-pointers in the pitch dark. Muscle memory is indeed a strong weapon.
Republicans scare people with lies. Democrats can’t even scare people with the truth. This has to change. Between now and November 100% of Democratic messaging should be about stopping the freight train of authoritarianism and anti-civil rights that is the Republican regime.
One of the best covers ever
I’m going with Ohtani.
I suspect once it goes out of print again it should hold its value pretty well.
It is pricey, but not bad for a 10 LPS. I’m not sure what it costs elsewhere, but I thought the acousticsounds price where I got it was reasonable. But I did definitely blow my monthly vinyl budget.

Mile’s Davis - The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965
Mile’s second great quintet with Wayne Shorter, Tony Williams, Herbie Hancock & Ron Carter. An inventive and dangerously skilled group of players. 2 nights, 7 sets, 10 LP’s.

So are there lawsuits against all of these actions happening yet? This needs to be litigated as soon as possible to get the Supreme Court to come down one way or another on voting rights, state versus federal, and poll tax regulations.
All Fontaines D.C. does is roll out great records
Bill Clinton, love him or hate him, he’s smarter than the combined intellect in the room.

Big Star - #1 Record - 1972, 2019 re-issue
I can’t recommend this enough if you don’t have it in your collection. Quiet pressing that sounds great, available and reasonably priced. Big Star changed the world, even if they didn’t know it at the time.

Reminder that I don't use Substack to post anything (it's to do with the Nazis there), but that I do have my own site, scalzi.com, which has its own blog, which is kind of like the 180-gram vinyl version of a Substack, and you can even sign up to get it sent to you in email (see the sidebar).
It is a Radiohead interpretation. That’s one thing I like about Mehldau, jazz artists always used to interpret popular music, and he has done a lot to bring back the tradition, with very interesting results. His latest album is an Elliott Smith tribute.
