October 1, 2026 I had this dream about buying some collections of cards and selling them on ebay. Well, I came across this one card that said it could be worth over a million dollars in the right condition. And I think it was like a p s a five or six, when I got…
September 1, 2026 YAY the Patreon is official for Anna Goose! And this makes me feel better: “I know book clubs are not for everyone! I have been the person who joins a book club and cannot find the motivation to read the book. I have a rebellious spirit that is less inclined to read…
August 1, 2026 GO BRI! Updated Brianna’s page on The Phoenix Desertsong that has actually gotten her calls! Buying a House in Erie PA? Call Brianna Virgils! … “The Story of My Life” is the introductory post to my “The Unmasking of a Phoenix” collected works series I’m posting on Substack. Also, yes, I did…
July 1st, 2026 This is the kind of amazing human being that Audra Miller is. This is why she should be a superstar and not just singing in a cover band. … I’m making a new Instagram account for the podcast/newsletter. It’s time. https://www.instagram.com/ameliadesertsong … I’m going to see MY QUEEN ELLA LANGLEY in Gilford…
BTW I met this girl at a free show at Big Bar in Erie, PA around St. Patty’s day last year. I have one of those hoodies she’s got there. She handed it to me. Best night of my life. … “We’re numb to our own knowledge.” It’s lines like that which make Anna Corinne…
I am wide awake, YES, Like Katy Perry. So I may as well get up and be productive at getting my geese in a row. … Gorgeous girl and I am sure her story is far too common with a much less desirable ending. … The universe told me to listen to album 1, track…
On this day June 28, 2026, around midnight, I finally broke the many-layered mask I wore over my true personality for over thirty years. It took a lot of hard work over the past three weeks, but I finally have become the Phoenix I was intended to be. I’ve rediscovered my true voice. I am…
First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ARIANA GRANDE! I LOVE YOU! This is really sweet from her bro: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx1sEkwb9-tWd4ADKVjIFpje8ciPiKq8YU … I woke up with my favorite song by The Killers stuck in my head. Oh yeah, guess who has an amazing cover of that song? … Also, the first video in my suggested feed? Perhaps the greatest…
This is from 6 years ago, but relevant as ever. Sav always just has the right things to say about the deepest human issues! … This girl is going places! Olivia Rodrigo is an All-American Treasure. … Brooke Surgener is so awesome, talented, and gorgeous and it’s a travesty that she isn’t like playing country…
This poem by Sav Brown is absolute fire: how i make you feel is who i am – savannah brown … Preach, Anthony, preach! Seriously, this interview confused me in many places at the time it came out. And I have nothing against sombr (neither does Anthony) but what Taylor is saying is utter bullshit.…
… Emily asked me to share this, so I did. Really important topic, actually: Being a Queer Girl Isn’t Something You Decide. AI needs to stay out of ripping off music! And music adjacent. And just content in general. We are all just training shit… Anthony Fantano, I totally agree with you. … Sav has…
Savannah Brown just blows my mind. I also ordered five of Savannah’s books. A couple were only sold from London so I’d rather buy those brand new. If her books are as amazing as her video essays, then damn. I’m having such a horrible autism day. But I can pay attention to Livie and Fionn…
I finally gave this album a proper listen. The whole thing is pretty good, although I only added “Tell Me When You’ve Had Enough” and “Who Will You Follow” to my regular rotation. I love this bit from Evanescence’s “How Do I Heal?” “No matter how we changeEchoes of us remainUntouched by timeIn my mind”…
For many years, I’ve been chasing potential, and I’ve learned the hard way that sometimes you just have to meet people where they’re at. And unfortunately, I’ve never been particularly good at meeting people where they’re at because I am so consistently ensconced in the concept of what they could be or what I perceive…
This is why I’m still here. Every single time I hear begged I break down sobbing. No song has ever touched me like this. Just like Tegan and Sara’s “Hell” saved my life back in 2009 after I got thrown out of college, Katy Perry’s “Part of Me” kept me going as I tried to…
“radicalized by the realization that in many Intellectual™ circles it’s higher status to know a lot about a domain than it is to actually do something in that domain” – charm https://www.x.com/charmcgi/status/2065952438734213396 Yup, that’s the college mentality. Absolutely correct, charm. … There was a whole PDF I needed to steal for my archive: https://www.bc.edu/content/dam/files/centers/boisi/pdf/s091/Welcome_address_to_freshman_at_Boston_Conservatory.pdf ……
AWESOME STORY! This is one of my favorite Pokemon episodes BTW. Kinda makes more sense to me why that is now. Sad ending for an amazing voice actress… passed away from an untreated stomach virus (we all know why that was untreated…) … Beautiful stuff from the wife. “Sometimes the real purpose of returning home…
