Thank you, as always, from spreading the music love! Looking forward to digging in. I’ve found many good albums from your daily posts this year.

I posted my AOTY list for 2024, link in thread

[Stephen Pozgay @spozgay]

@funkentechno My copy hasn’t arrived yet, but I cracked and had to listen to the Bandcamp streaming version. So, so good!! Right in my list (which I’m still building), for sure.

[Stephen Pozgay @spozgay]

Seeking recommendations for good electronic music release recommendations from this year. My end-of-year list so far is heavily Indie/Jazz/Ambient. Have any recommendations?

[Stephen Pozgay @spozgay]

Nice mixtape! Features lots of lovely bands + one of my favorite songs of this year, Aluminum’s “Everything”.

[RavenSingsTheBlues @RSTBRecords]

Been far too long since I made a mixtape, but I'm back to cap this week with an indie pop roundoup that culls some faves from the past few years. Less straight jangle-pop this time around, a slightly smudged collection that leans more Creation than Sarah. https://t.co/zajhgbRWo4

[Stephen Pozgay @spozgay]

And soooo good!

One of my formative books about music and the world around us. Unfortunately, my copy seems to have disappeared at some point over the years. Probably lent it to someone and then we both forgot. Hope they are enjoying it (or passed it along!).

A poem for one of my foundational mantras: Never cease to wonder.

[Francesca Leader @mooninabucket]

Your periodic reminder, via @maggiesmithpoet, that our hearts have died when we cease to wonder ❤️‍🔥

This is such a singular gem! When Inworked at a record store in Portland, I brought this album in to the shop and tried to get folks to buy it, but didn’t sell any of the 3 copies we bought. Well, I bought one, at least.

jamming an old favorite this morning 🔥

[Stephen Pozgay @spozgay]

@funkentechno So very scary. Thanks for sharing your vulnerable moment. Here’s some music—which you may already know—that always brings me peace when I have a major jarring moment. May it do the same for you!

Gotta play the long game. I’ll be waiting, that’s for sure.

[LOW @lowtheband]

The long game is to reissue older records once we get rights back in another couple years.

[Stephen Pozgay @spozgay]

@funkentechno His album before this, 2020’s ‘Freedom Exercise’, is also worth yr time. (Also worth noting that he’s a member of SML, along with Jeremiah Chiu, Anna Butterss, Gregory Uhlmann, and Booker Stardrum. Big recordings recently from this group+related!

[Stephen Pozgay @spozgay]

@jeremiahchiu has been involved with two of the best jazz/experimental releases this year! This one and the SML ‘Small Medium Large’ album, also on @intlanthem

The Closest Thing To Silence 🌬️

[Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche]

Made my weekday @todayshow debut reporting from Springfield, Ohio about Haitian immigrants, speaking the language—Haitian Creole —that my grandma gifted me, & chronicling the struggles of people who fled insecurity in Haiti & again feel unsafe in the U.S.

@LisaDNews Former President Trump did not once say VP Harris’ name, as far as we could tell. Just “she”, or, if paired with President Biden, “they”. How can anyone take Trump seriously when he can’t muster the courage to face his opponent directly?

[Stephen Pozgay @spozgay]

@funkentechno Just picked this one up. Really nice mix of noisy drones and rolls of floating dulcimer notes.

[Stephen Pozgay @spozgay]

This doesn’t seem great. https://t.co/Xb07s5b6jm

[Stephen Pozgay @spozgay]

One of the greatest hitters of all time and supremely underrated.

When govt programs work well, it is often because Congress has agreed to fund them at appropriate levels. Also helpful when govt pgms are given latitude to partner with local agencies and non-profits to create flexible implementations of the federal pgm.
