Hey, happy Sunday, and a very hoppy Easter (to everyone who celebrates)! 🐇🥚💐

This week in review has felt to me like a helix of arrival and release. For one, our family returned to IL on Saturday from Pensacola—in tan abandon, no less. We enjoyed beach livin', poolside cabanas, and family dinners. The weather was nice the majority of the time.

When we got back, I was excited to see my order of 8" vinyl had arrived from Consonant Collective! Spinning it for the first time and hearing 5 easy dems felt like a new release (in both senses of the word). I even went back to update my post on (In)Sitze with some pics of the discs. Last call to reserve yours before they go for sale at the Falcon Nest show this Thursday!

📝New Blog Post(s):

I had this idea incubating in my Notes for a pretty long time: a sincere, somewhat meta response to the philosophical question, "what is the meaning of life?".

On Wednesday, I just decided to wrap it up in neat little pose poem and publish it on the site. It's almost fitting that it happened to be posted on April 1st, a little like pointing out the whole enterprise of answering such a "dense" question is all in good fun...or is it? Anyway, I hope you consider it as food for thought and discuss in the comments :)

💳Merch:

• 5 easy dems 8" Collector's vinyl for sale, $15/record, in short supply at the Falcon Nest show, by request, and online if there are any left over after the show.
