It turns out that the Dark Star from Dave’s #43 is an excellent soundtrack for waiting in the pick up line

Just letting this Garcia quote do the talking for me today:

“It’s been going on hot and heavy out there for years. But see, everybody’s had a chance to take a good look at it, step away from it, you know, that isn’t it — fighting, and hassling, and bloodletting, and killing and all that shit, that ain’t it. Whatever life is about, that’s not it. You know, I think everybody should take one step backwards and two steps sideways and let the whole thing collapse.”

Take one step backwards and two steps sideways

When I need to escape, nothing beats '73 Dead. Also, Jeffrey Alexander + the Heavy Lidders, Julie Byrne, and Love for Tyler Wilcox.

The Die Must Fall
Just finished reading The Mountain in the Sea. Brilliant novel. It struck me as having a post-Gibson vibe. The plot with the corporations and the fishing boat could have come from him. But the explorations of non human consciousness were fantastic. Highly recommended
There’s nothing like massive Thunder waking you up early on a Sunday :)
Beautiful morning trip to the balloon race.

“We’re in such a hurry most of the time we never get much chance to talk. The result is a kind of endless day-to-day shallowness, a monotony that leaves a person wondering years later where all the time went and sorry that it’s all gone.”

― Robert M. Pirsig

I’m 130 pages into #Babel & it’s feeling more like homework than entertainment. I’m hoping it picks up soon
