I was living in Los Angeles when this record came out. I listened to it in my car unceasingly for a year. Still one of my all-time favorites.

Fuck it, I’m having a bad day, so I’m going to give a book away to one follower who RTs this. It’s a psychedelic novel about earth magic, water, river spirits, mossy paths, folklore, lost music, moorland ghosts, the past, & the future. PS Winner gets a Green Man linoprint too!

SCOTUS and Republicans are succeeding in turning America into a Christian theocracy. How does that align with the Founders’ vision for the country? It doesn’t and they don’t care. They demonstrate no fidelity to the core principles of our democracy, let alone the Constitution.
