Finally put my finger on what works so well for me about Wednesdayβs lyrics: Karly Hartzman writes each new stanza like an individual β yet interconnected β bit of flash fiction. But with full-throated emotion and a grasp toward connection, rather than the distant observation of, say, David Berman.
Thanks for sharing this β really great.
The organ that comes in at 2:50 on βNew Grassβ is always the best sound Iβve ever heardβ¦ and then the violas come in a minute later. Incredible.
CPB made me who I am. I grew up with PBS, and by my teenage years, the KC NPR affiliate ( @kcur.org ) shared my carβs dial with a local alt rock station and @kjhk907fm.bsky.social.

It is unbelievable to me that our news media is STILL so ill-equipped to handle Trump, Netanyahu, and their ilk β those for whom personal desires and vibe are the wellspring for fact, and truth itself is meaningless.
HOW do you quote them as if they are telling the truth or speaking in good faith??
Thanks for seeing it and (presumably) writing and thinking about it!!!! No kid gloves on my behalf. π

Once again: The animating purpose of representative democracy is to protect the rest of us from the whims of insane rich people, be they kings or oligarchs. Everything else is wainscoting.
