Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Railbird

 I had the great good fortune of going to Railbird music festival in Lexington, Kentucky this past weekend as my Christmas present. It was a helluva an experience. Artists like Noah Kahan, Lord Huron and Hozier put on absolutely killer sets. Counting Crows were weird as hell. But it was the artists I had never heard or even heard of that made it fun: Johnnyswims, Allison Russell, Nolan Taylor; plus artists I had heard but never properly placed like Trampled by Turtles and Sam Barber.

Anyway, it was fun to unplug from the internet for four days. I recommend it.
