Haven’t watched bo burnham’s special yet not sure why… but this song All Eyes on Me is a seriously wonderful song
I got to sing harmony on this tune
I’ve listened to it a lot
It was so fun
It really gets in your head !
Proud of these folks ;
Record coming in august
This is a very very very very good thing. Just wanted to say this is an opportunity to welcome those that are not the same as you , to accept them and listen and love. #redwave #lovetoall #newworkbeginsin54321..... ✌🏻

Again, , let’s talk about how to severely change that cheese curd recipe. You are great, and this is such a miss. As you grow, we want people around the country to know what real curds are like!
Watching ESPN this morning… they got Chris Bosh on. Nice dude. They’re putting him in the HOF. I Smoked weed and talked acoustic guitar with him backstage at Glastonbury with him. I had forgotten that. Now I can’t forget!
Very very sad to hear of Virgil Abloh’s death. Truly an incredible inspiration to so many people, including myself. I always played up the fact he went to college in Madison. He was so so kind, humble but hungry and easy to talk to. What a huge loss.
im an artist first cause thats how I think I can change the world the most, for the better. It feels SO good to have what feels as close to a Unanimous artist on the planet as Kendrick Lamar. He cares about the culture, the art more than ANYTHING. So clearly
… I relate to this mucho (not comparing skill sets , comparing about understanding one self and identity)
if you want your heart to be warm , type in "All These Years" by Phil Cook this afternoon. My musical teacher and brother made the brightest, deepest, chillest record and it has not left my ears since friday.
Updates:
New and old song chest radios ep’s are up, please enjoy them. Some diffferent stuff coming …
Daniel Neggranu is my favorite poker player ever. Ivey’s the goat.
The once every couple months check in tweet update feels right.

Life can get better but only slowly
Any body who seen my insta lives last couple years and had any enjoyment , things becoming official this next week, be on the look out for some news next week! #songchestradiohour
hey
for anyone who wants to know…
Bon Iver will be playing a set made of NEW music this august
Been feeling an odd combo of heart hurt / super love for living … we’re all so fallible , but capable. Incredibly flawed and the most beautiful possible things … getting better all the time, yet hurt each other so much. Ow. Owww. #hertzdonut

I know he said some bad things, but I also loved M. Wallen
I’m very , deeply disgusted by the term Blue Lives Matter.
But sometimes it hits me, more than other moments , just how stupid it is. Like someone who says that is :disregarding that Black is a color of someone’s skin, and they themselves are not painted blue. 🤬
What a series. I can finally say what I couldn’t say out of superstition. I love Kevin Durant. Class act after the game too. Such a generational talent. Much respect. Best player in the world. Go Bucks!!!!!
No. Not gonna last. This country is not the country we are supposedly promised. This is not for all, it’s for some.
You don’t have to assume a grand conspiracy to see simple , terrible human bias in our media patterns

The Institutions
Growing up, thought white supremacy meant the kkk and hitler. Thought you were either racist or not. On/off.
I’ve learned it’s just IN white people... not just because of who we are , but because we’ve experienced an insanely easier life for thousands of years.

When a project grows and changes. I love that aaron has encouraged and allowed it not to be pinned down. This song out today may be my favorite fruit from the BRM tree. Robin humbles everyone and Anais crushes. A song made for Jt Bates to drum. Go out.
I’m so pumped to share this in the world

Tik Tok is extremely worth checking out. I’ve found a lot of positivity, education, and music there. Makes me feel different about social media. Oddly, hopeful. Here’s my profile. No need to follow, but you can see what I see there ... vm.tiktok.com/ZMea4XMFq/
the things people don't say to you are the things you might need to hear the most sometimes
hey please cover our Stop Line 3 concert. Check out our convo with Winona Laduke we just had online. Lets do something right for the state of Minnesota and for the water of our future , together ! #somethingimportant

Been fascinAting feeling my opinion move back and forth re: Neil young etc. but if this gets folks to switch to the better sounding , better royalty paying Apple and Spotify takes a huge hit that would be cool to see manifest. Crazy.
Mask up y’all. Many people I care about are double vaxxed and have Covid for a second time. #staysafe

Think, with empathy how in the hell this person got to be this way.
Consider what it means to take the high road, from now on.

if youre feeling a little uneasy about 'everything going back to normal' like me, its because the old normal SUCKED, and we didnt see or value the correct things over the mundane and material. #StopLine3Pipeline Come to the show in Duluth on Wed.
So I’m so excited you can hear this song, by Carm, I’ve listened to over and over for years now. These lyrics may actually be the strongest lyrics I’ve ever heard from the master Sufjan. Aaaand maybe just a bit on point for these times.
Do yourself a favor and press play:
Feels pretty good to retweet something that sounds helpful

I haven't even heard the thing... been sitting in a pile of covid -- dont feel ready. Id probably sob, honestly. But the world FEELS different already because its out already. I love that feeling. For kendrick, it isn't about kendrick ... its about what he and only he can say.
How many times can Chris Brown be in this kind of trouble and no just be kicked out of life ?
This album has been years in the making in a community under Josh. We all care about the album, these songs , and this project a lot. This album fucking fucks. check it out:

What exactly do you mean when you hold an All Lives Matter sign?
Did we assume not before !? -- to me it is a protest against Black America
Anyone who says differently, simply does not know about how much it costs people to pay rent, bills, buy food and acquire Heath care.
I’m convinced that it’s an ILLNESS that purveys the mind of those who don’t think people should have the choice over what happens with their body.

4/ I’m so sorry. Please don’t @ me with any sympathy or encouragement. I need to learn from this. I like to pretend i don’t have as big a platform as I do sometimes — then when some interaction is challenging on here, I scroll past, leaving some of you undefended. Gonna grow. 🙏🏻

So some point soon I may look someone in the eyes & say that they, against their will, will carry to term, undergo delivery & then have their child die
so much comes down to this verdict .... I have trouble remembering to breathe
I like to remember that most music that exists and can be useful to us , did not come out within the last year. That being said, I think its cool we like to big up the things we loved from the passing year. Things that come to mind (im sure I forget) ... 1/2

I like watching the athletes perform and compete. It just feels so weird that it’s countries vs countries. Surely it would be cooler if it was socialists vs capitalists or whatever ones own choice/team would be !
