This, for all time. I reject any belief system which implies that I can’t be a good person of my own free will.
Raquel Nelson will fight on, but should she have... →
cabell:
Yesterday was an inflection point in Raquel Nelson’s horrific journey, but the case and its ramifications are from over. Ms. Nelson, you’ll recall, is the Georgia mom convicted of vehicular homicide because her four-year-old was killed by a hit-and-run driver as they crossed the road from a bus stop to her Cobb County apartment.
The judge yesterday declined to give her jail time, and...
Happy 1st Birthday to My Last Album :-)
Today marks the anniversary of the day that Sometimes You’ve Gotta Fight to Get a Bit of Peace, my most recent album, was released, and I’m just as proud of it now as I was then. To celebrate, Hornbuckle Records is selling two copies of the album for the price of one! Please buy it, and give the other copy to someone you care about <3
AUTOreverse Interviews Me (Again) →
A recently resuscitated DIY ‘zine just published an interview with me today about my most recent album. I still have a scan of the review this ‘zine published of my music back in 2000, when it was still a paper ‘zine. It’s good to know that “cassette culture” is slowly but surely reasserting its presence in the cultural landscape.
How To Be A Female Musician Starting Out →
theoreticalgirl:
Wait, hey! Don’t walk away! This is a pretty great piece. I think it’s sound advice for any individual who wants to play music.
Get organised and do regular band rehearsals. Take this commitment seriously by prioritising your practices. This is the only way to get good. Make sure it’s fun and that everyone in the band feels important and is given their say and is given room to...

I'm Glad to Have a Relationship and a Band Now LOL
so-treu:
“Although we all want to know love, we talk about the search for true love as though it is always and only a solitary quest. I am disturbed by the weighty emphasis on self in so much New Age writing on the topic, and in our culture as a whole. When I would talk about my yearning for a loving partner, people told me over and over that I did not need anyone else. They would say I did not...
My Last Two Albums Are on Bandcamp Now!
I’m terrible @ maintaining the Cocker Spaniels’ Internet presence, but I’ve resolved to get better @ it. My girlfriend has volunteered to oversee this task; she is now the closest thing I have to a “manager.” Her administrative help will surely be a god(dess)send. For now, though, I’ve spruced up the C.Spaniels’ Bandcamp. At cspaniels.bandcamp.com, you can...

Can I just say something about this debt ceiling nonsense?
This is how I interpret the situation….
The United States of America has no jobs, no prospects of jobs, an unhealthy economy and has overspent for YEARS. Not just for a few months, but for YEARS. Every chance we’ve had to generate revenue, we said, ‘meh, don’t worry about it.’ We didn’t raise taxes,...
