In lieu of a best music of the year list (I no longer pretend to rank things in some kind of permanent hierarchy), here is every 2021 (or 2021-ish) new release and reissue/archival release I added to my collection in physical media form, in rough order of acquisition. I'm ignoring digital releases, so Myriam Gendron and Springtime will just have to wait until 2022. Goodbye until 2022, suckers. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4LvGOZ10IKGIYXQuNNr8z2zedXu48TmhGTbiSzSly8G-8CI_MFaCFBT6QoBmDgxMyeXBqEhnMOeuSbbGEy_Ni3mntj-VQ6993Q-_hCQKvhMXs29M2tTfqRoEENB8Z3SUCsMIz44Vva_ApkU3LvlkKmfWbAgtt3P1V8tOLhg7Jg_f2gTr7CKg=s1600" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4LvGOZ10IKGIYXQuNNr8z2zedXu48TmhGTbiSzSly8G-8CI_MFaCFBT6QoBmDgxMyeXBqEhnMOeuSbbGEy_Ni3mntj-VQ6993Q-_hCQKvhMXs29M2tTfqRoEENB8Z3SUCsMIz44Vva_ApkU3LvlkKmfWbAgtt3P1V8tOLhg7Jg_f2gTr7CKg=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><b>New releases</b></div><div>Thurston Moore - By the Fire</div><div>Cub Scout Bowling Pins - Heaven Beats Iowa 7"</div><div>Jeff Tweedy - Love Is the King</div><div>Damaged Bug - Bug on Yonkers</div><div>Osees - Metamorphosed</div><div>Kurt Vile - Speed, Sound, Lonely KV (ep)</div><div>Yo La Tengo - We Have Amnesia Sometimes</div><div>Melvins - Working with God</div><div>Tamar Aphek - All Bets Are Off</div><div>USA/Mexico - Del Rio</div><div>Tomahawk - Tonic Immobility</div><div>The Peacers - Blexxed Rec</div><div>Guided By Voices - Earth Man Blues</div><div>Dinosaur Jr - Sweep It into Space</div><div>Field Music - Flat White Moon</div><div>Bobby Lee - Origin Myths</div><div>Mush - Lines Redacted</div><div>Kid Millions & Jan St. Werner - Imperium Droop</div><div>Three-Layer Cake - Stove Top</div><div>Rose City Band - Earth Trip</div><div>Writhing Squares - Chart for the Solution</div><div>Mr. Bungle - The Night They Came Home</div><div>Lambchop - Showtunes</div><div>Mdou Moctar - Afrique Victime</div><div>Birds of Maya - Valdez</div><div>Cub Scout Bowling Pins - Clang Clang Ho</div><div>Anthony Joseph - The Rich Are Only Defeated When Running for Their Lives</div><div>Human Impact - EP01</div><div>Amaro Freitas - Sankofa</div><div>Guided By Voices - It's Not Them.

<b>My band's record</b><br />
My band The Early Stages released our album, <i>Terrible Business</i>, in 2019 on our own Self-Satisfaction label. I'm proud of it. Get it on vinyl or digital download <a href="https://theearlystages.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">here</a> or <a href="https://www.theearlystagesmusic.com/music/" target="_blank">here</a> or stream it on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, and the other streaming sites, but we'd love you forever if you make a vinyl or download purchase if you like the music and can afford it. Thanks! <b> </b><br />

I think it captured a little of the present moment's terror, absurdity, stupidity, and information overload, so I'm going to keep doing them a few times a week. The first one was posted on my Instagram at joshkrauter, but I'll post the rest of them here.<br />

I think it's pretty clear from these lists that I'm a 41-year-old man, but it's also clear I'm not dead yet. As I said to the cars blocking my exit from work and the guy driving the wrong way down the one-way street last Friday, "Happy fuckin' new year, assholes!"<br />

<b>Playing that shit</b><br />
My band, The Early Stages, recorded a full-length album with a friend of ours over the summer, and we are in the dispiriting, humiliating, discouraging process of trying to find someone to put it out. We will probably end up putting it out ourselves. We have never been what this town or its various punk rock scenes want, but we keep grinding away, doing our thing, and finding kindred spirits in other local oddball groups who don't quite fit in with what the gatekeepers and schmoozers are perpetuating and promoting. I am proud of this record and glad we did it. I hope you can hear it next year.<br />
<br />
In the process of trying to get someone interested in our record, I've been shamelessly sending it to musicians I like. Mostly I get a thank you and no further response, but someone who gave me solid feedback was Kid Millions from Oneida. Because of those message exchanges, I had the opportunity to take a drum lesson from him while he was in town playing a show, and it was a great experience. Besides being a really nice guy, he was an enthusiastic and effective teacher who helped me break some bad habits and improve my stick control technique, which has reduced the hand cramping that occasionally bothers me when I play. He also suggested I buy a drum pad and a couple rhythm pattern books, which I did, and practicing these patterns has become a meditative habit for me. I get sucked into it and lose track of time, and it's been a great thing for me this year, when depression keeps kicking me in the face and my job's bringing me down. And it's great to learn new things and improve at an instrument I've been playing since I was 10 after I'd hit a wall and leveled out. <br />

I won't bore you with a recap. You're all living the nightmare, too, and are probably beating yourself up about what you could have done to stop the Fall of the Roman Empire 2: Mar-a-Lago Boogaloo. It was a bad-news-every-morning kind of year, and not just politically. (Contracting an extremely painful case of shingles in March was just one of the many lowlights.) <br />
The oppressive shittiness of the present moment has its positive side effects, however, one of which is a heightened gratefulness for the things in my life that are not awful. In that spirit of gratefulness, I present my favorite albums of 2017. <br />

<i>This post is dedicated to the boys from Robot Town</i><br />
<i> </i> <br />
I was just at the 7-11 on my lunch hour, buying lottery tickets because that is what 2017 has done to this old soldier. The usually monotone, all-business clerk saw the Alf t-shirt worn by the young man in his early twenties in line ahead of me and said, with much enthusiasm, "Boy, what do YOU know about Alf? I used to LOVE Alf! I STILL love Alf!" The young man replied, "My mom showed me all the cool stuff from the '80s that I missed, like Alf." His tone was wistful, melancholy. He was genuinely saddened that he missed that time in our nation's history when <i>Alf </i>was a current television show but also glad he lived in a time when one's mother could stream episodes of <i>Alf </i>from the days of yore on today's current devices.

I spent the afternoon at work close to tears, head on desk, when it was in its peak intensity, pretending like I wasn't in pain whenever I had to make contact with my fellow humans. It reminded me of a tweet I read today from a comedian I follow, paraphrasing: "Why are we supposed to be embarrassed when toilet paper is stuck to our shoe? It just means we wiped our ass." Why do we expend so much effort pretending to each other that life isn't happening?<br />

Like most Austinites, I spend a lot of time bitching about traffic, rising home prices, constant festivals, condos replacing old houses and small businesses, yuppie gentrification, lack of meaningful jobs and job opportunities, the young people and their love of fitness and hatred of life-shortening hedonism, etc. But I love living in my adopted hometown, and in another year and change, I will have lived here longer than I lived in my bona fide hometown (that's 18 years and one month, for those keeping score.). A biographical sentence as partial reason why I still live here: Last night, for free, I watched a member of one of my favorite UK punk bands play American roots music with one of my coworkers while getting drunk with my cats' veterinarian (who makes house calls), and some permutation of this combination happens at least once a year. Also, these guys regularly play shows with the Boston Red Sox organist who happens to be a frequent caller on my favorite comedy podcast.<br />
<br />
I still miss Vic Chesnutt almost like he was a relative. I spend at least 10 minutes a week silently yelling at whatever higher power didn't step in and keep that guy around. His songs hit me some place so deep I can't even find it. I think I was born Southern in a past life, based on many of my literary and musical holy grails. Reincarnation is the only spiritual thing that makes sense to me aesthetically and morally, even if I have absolutely no logical proof that it's real. I used to be an atheist, but I love music, and most other arts, too much to be an atheist. Art is spooky, and it does magical things I can't find a place for in a logical, ordered universe. Fundamentalist religion is bunko, but we all need some magic in our lives, and I genuinely feel sorry for any human who can't leave a little room for magic and possibility and faith. I've had psychedelic experiences while completely sober and drug-free (and, sure, psychedelic experiences while on your popular late-20th century psychedelic drugs), and I think I saw a UFO when I was 17, which also may have been some expensive military boondoggle that took food out of poor people's mouths. I was lonely and sad and young and driving my parents' station wagon in the country near a heavily guarded military nuclear weapon storage facility 40 minutes from my hometown while listening to a cassette dub of Miles Davis' <i>Bitches Brew</i>, and thank God the Internet was not accessible to small-town, working-class kids then or I probably would have been home trying to chat with faraway girls who didn't like jocks who were probably middle-aged pedophiles. I have reasonably good explanations for all these experiences, but reasonably good explanations are boring, aesthetically. Goddamn, Vic Chesnutt had so many good songs he left this one off every goddamn beautiful album. It's a bonus track on a reissue. I sure do like typing profanity. Eat some dicks, fuckfaces.<br />

In a nice little bit of communal sharing and fun amidst the terror, anger, and sadness of the current political landscape, most of my friends have been posting lists of the 10 (or so) most important albums of their teenage years on Facebook. I quit the book of face a few years ago in order to stop arguing politics with my relatives and avoid stupid memes from both sides, but I still log in to my wife's account to see what certain people are up to and to look at cute pictures of my niece and nephew. It's been fun to see what records my friends were soaking up between the ages of 14 and 18, and it got me thinking about the big records for me in that turbulent 4-year chunk of time.<br />
I was in high school from 1991-1995 in a culturally isolated small town in the Midwest. I didn't have MTV, the nearest major city was a four-hour drive away, the Internet was not really a thing yet for the average human, I had to drive 38 miles to buy CDs and cassettes, and it was a lot easier to find major label records than indies. I relied on music magazines, a few cool older friends and relatives, the cut-out bin at Wal-Mart, the TV programs <i>Night Tracks </i>and <i>JBTV</i>, my uncle's record collection, mail order, the one decent record store in the area, and random acts of weirdness to find out about bands. There were no real music scenes in my town, so the small handful of us who liked music more than sports congregated together, and we listened to pretty much everything except mainstream pop. I listened to a lot of terrible stuff, a lot of embarrassing stuff, and a lot of good and great stuff. These are the records I was able to find at the time that still mean something to me and have some connection to my listening habits now. If I were being totally honest, I'd put Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction and lots of mainstream alt-rock stuff on here, too, but I don't listen to much of that stuff now, except for my rare nostalgia wallows. Here are the records I was completely obsessed with between 9th and 12th grades (I tried to limit it to 10, and then this happened) (also, I think my taste was better in elementary school and college and so much worse in junior high): <br />

I'm amusing myself during a freakish spell of downtime at work by looking at the list of past hosts and musical guests of <i>Saturday Night Live</i>. Some of them are hilariously odd pairings, for good, bad, ridiculous, or evil, until the late '90s when the combination of host and music becomes mostly very, very dull and stays that way permanently. (It really seems like a computer program is choosing the hosts and bands now. ) Seriously, like 85% of the combinations until the late '90s make me laugh and seem like throwaway gags from a vintage <i>Simpsons </i>episode, especially if you imagine them jamming together. (Also, Leon Redbone was the musical guest on roughly every fifth episode for the first seven years of the show.) These are the ones that jumped out at me (to be read in Don Pardo's voice):<br />

2016 has been consistently labeled a "garbage fire" by people who like to repeat phrases they hear, thanks to nightmarish global victories for authoritarianism, neo-fascism, and xenophobia and the loss of many beloved inspirational public figures, but I tend to think of 2016 as a kid walking home from school and just noticing that a group of bullies have locked eyes on him. 2016 was the unpreparedness, the shock, the surprise, the dread, and the slow realization of what's to come, but 2017 will be the beating, with the faint possibility of a last-minute miraculous defensive strategy and plans for regrouping and revenge. Meanwhile, the kid either repressed or failed to notice that those bullies spent the past several years beating on a lot of other kids who weren't him.<br />
2016 was rough. 2017 will be rougher, but I see little droplets of hope in the sludge. Check back with me next year.<br />
People die every minute. The 2016 memes got a little out of control, but I can get off my soapbox and admit the losses in music, film, literature, etc, this year were pretty heavy, the heaviest I can remember since that stretch from 2009 to 2010 that robbed the world at large and the private world in my heart of Vic Chesnutt, Rowland S. Howard, Barry Hannah, Alex Chilton, Andy Hummel, Mark Linkous, Captain Beefheart, Ari Up, Solomon Burke, Harvey Pekar, Dennis Hopper, Claude Chabrol, Eric Rohmer, and Ronnie freakin' James Dio, among many, many others. And on that note, these year-end obituary wrap-ups keep forgetting to mention Richard Lyons from Negativland, even the ones that remember Alan Vega and Tony Conrad and Pauline Oliveros. Stop forgetting Richard Lyons. <br />
<br />
What was good about this year, or any year? The answer is always music. I like a lot of cool music and a lot of uncool music, and I don't see much difference between the two, other than shinier or less shiny pants and faces, degrees of dank obscurity and/or massive popularity, ages of the participants, and how many coke-addled dirtbags are in and on the peripheral scene. These are the new albums and reissues I acquired this year that I liked and that were released in 2016. I don't know how to make definitive best-of music lists. I don't know which of these albums I like the most, which I will still be listening to years from now, and all that jazz. I have only scratched the surface and will keep discovering 2016 records until I am as dead as your favorite dead celebrity of 2016. I've heard two pieces from the 75 Dollar Bill album <i>Wood/Metal/Plastic/Pattern/Rhythm/Rock </i>that are way up my alley, but you won't find it on this list because I don't have it yet. That's the problem with these things, but they're fun, and I like making them and looking at other people's, so bug off.<br />

Pitchfork, the music site most of us music-loving scum have a weird relationship with (hey, there's good and bad writing on it every day, like most sites with multiple writers), recently posted its list of the <a href="http://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/9935-the-200-best-songs-of-the-1970s/">200 Best Songs of the 1970s</a>. People like to bitch about lists while secretly loving them, and I am no exception. I regularly watch movies from movie lists, make playlists out of song
and album lists, and read books from book lists. It's an enjoyable way
to approach the Mt. Everest of art and entertainment made by us humans
in the last handful of centuries. Lists are fun if you don't take them seriously as definitive statements and instead approach them as personalized time-capsule aggregations of our many subcultures. They're snapshots of what we value at certain times in our history and why, but they also reveal a lot about us by what gets left out.<br />
I like the Pitchfork list. It's full of stone-cold jams. But the list has some of the drawbacks of any list made by a consensus of writers. Obvious choices get yet another feather in their cap while neglected gems remain neglected. Singles are favored over non-singles. Songs with cultural capital and zeitgeist relevance take precedence over songs that sound great but don't have much 2016 juice. And the idiosyncratic taste of the solitary music lover is lost in the consensus of the group. Instead of bitching about it, I decided to spend a little time each night this past few weeks coming up with two '70s playlists of my own. First, I made a song-by-song response to the Pitchfork list by picking the same artists as Pitchfork in the same order, but choosing a song by those artists that didn't make the Pitchfork cut. Then, I made my own list of 200 great '70s songs by 200 artists who are not on the Pitchfork list. This is just a highly personal collection of songs I love from my favorite musical decade, full of my own biases and idiosyncrasies. These songs are not ranked in any hierarchy or chronology or mystical numerology or on how much sass the hot track contains, etc. I did try to make them flow together as a continuous 200-song mix tape, but I'm not the ranking least-to-greatest type because that changes for me every single day. All this is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm sure I have forgotten many favorites. Though I love every decade of recorded music, the '70s grabs my ear the most. (Well, 1966-1984 grabs my ear the most.) In conclusion, I am an obsessive weirdo, and I suspect this post will only be of use to fellow obsessive weirdos who like to make mix tapes and playlists. <br />
<br />
MY ALTERNATE VERSION OF THE PITCHFORK LIST<br />
(An asterisk means I had to use a song from early 1980 because Pitchfork used the only 1970s songs that artist released)<br />
(Also, Pitchfork picked a Dinosaur song, which was a pseudonym used by Arthur Russell for that particular single. I put an Arthur Russell song in its place.)<br />

Because of an inside joke at my work, I have been thinking about action movie character names from the late '70s to the mid-'90s and how gloriously stupid they are, and it got me curious about which past action star would take the crown as the champion of asinine character names<b>. </b>This is the result of my quick and most likely incomplete research. I'm probably forgetting some big names. I omitted Bruce Willis because he's only in a handful of action movies, and the names of his characters are pretty straightforward. I have cherry-picked the names that make me laugh. Some of these names are completely ridiculous, others are only funny because of the actor they are attached to. For example, Van Damme, Schwarzenegger, and Lundgren have thick European accents but often play characters with names like Dave Williams or Pete Smith. I've included Charles Bronson at the end as honorary grandfather. I think it's a pretty even battle between Sylvester Stallone and Jean-Claude Van Damme. Chuck Norris, as always, sucks rocks. <br />

I'm both a realist and a pessimist, so I know that my local rock band will never scale the heights of superstardom, fame, wealth, a trendy drug-induced decline, and a lucrative reunion tour, and that's mostly OK with me. My only regret is that we'll never get to participate in the time-honored tradition of recording a mid-career mid-tempo ballad about the loneliness, weariness, and plain ol' tryin' times of life on the road. But as the Butthole Surfers taught me, it's better to regret something you did than something you didn't do. I wrote some lyrics about life on those lonely highways, and this future classic will just sit here, waiting for some road-weary, deep-pocketed troubadour to add some sweet-assed heart-tugging accompaniment. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you "Tourin'":<br />
<br />
TOURIN'<br />
The wheels on the bus go round and round<br />
Another fresh mile in another strange town<br />
I'm tourin'<br />
<br />
My ex-wife's callin' on my cellular phone<br />
But I ignore the call and grab a Toblerone <br />
I'm hurtin'<br />
<br />
The Toblerone didn't cut it so I grab some fruit snacks<br />
But the box is empty and I just can't relax<br />
I'm hungry<br />
(SPOKEN ASIDE) But not that hungry<br />
<br />
CHORUS<br />
Oh, life on the road ain't all the fans dream it to be<br />
And the me they worship ain't quite the real me<br />
The tour bus is fancy but the drive is still long<br />
And I'm sick and tired of playing my own hit song<br />
Oh Lord, why did you put this burden on me?<br />
<br />
Well, I hit backstage and I check the rider<br />
Those bastards in Duluth forgot my cranapple cider<br />
I'm fumin'<br />
<br />
Woke up from a nap when I heard my own snoring<br />
The band's soundchecking and it's so damn boring<br />
I'm restless<br />
<br />
I read People magazine during the opening band<br />
Looks like we'll get another season of that show Homeland<br />
I'm intrigued<br />
(SPOKEN ASIDE) But not that intrigued <br />
<br />
(REPEAT CHORUS)<br />
<br />
(GUITAR SOLO THAT ROCKS PRETTY HARD BUT NOT TOO HARD) <br />
<br />
Finally took the stage, the crowd couldn't get enough<br />
But I'm still waiting for someone to call my bluff<br />
I'm weary<br />
<br />
Backstage and the groupies are getting saucy<br />
I met a couple dudes from Insane Clown Posse<br />
I'm reckless<br />
<br />
Hungover and tired, I head to the next town<br />
To do it all again, hope I can find the sound<br />
That's a reference<br />
(SPOKEN ASIDE) To Kiss power ballad "Beth"<br />
<br />
(REPEAT CHORUS 37 TIMES)<br />
(FADEOUT) <br />

Two questions. If David Bowie can die, what hope is there for the rest of us? And how can I find words to pay tribute to a guy who made at least 13 records and at least 200 songs that mean the world to me?<br />
I'm thinking about the bands and solo artists who put out one great record after another in the 1970s that also mean a great deal to me (Bowie put out great stuff before and after the '70s, but the '70s were his most creatively explosive period) -- Neil Young, Stevie Wonder, Brian Eno, Joni Mitchell, CAN, Marvin Gaye, Roxy Music, Curtis Mayfield, Patti Smith, Alice Cooper, Blue Oyster Cult, Kraftwerk, Neu, Fela Kuti, Chic, Van Morrison, Faust, T. Rex, Big Star, Black Sabbath, Harry Nilsson, just to name a few (and I haven't even mentioned the great bands who only put out a few records or who were just getting started or who ran out of gas in the middle of the decade or who dominated the '60s and put out a few great records in the '70s or the people I'll be hitting myself for forgetting) -- and I'm astounded that I can hear and see all these people in Bowie's songs and sounds and looks as they bounce around, refract, distort, and filter through the carnival rides, lenses, funhouse mirrors, and processors in Bowie's one-of-a-kind head until they come out sounding like Bowie and only Bowie. He had all the contradictory elements you need to be a great artist: theatricality and sincerity, privacy and exhibitionism, originality and theft, human frailty and alien otherness, etc. I could keep going on about this but I'm starting to sound like a blabbering idiot. ("Starting to?" some of you are saying.)<br />
I am so glad I got to see Bowie live on his last tour, especially considering that tour ended earlier than planned due to cancellations caused by Bowie's heart surgery, some nerve problems in his shoulder, and an accident that killed a member of the lighting crew. The tickets were a little out of our price range, but my wife and I said, "It's David Bowie!" and bought them anyway. Wikipedia tells me that show was April 27, 2004. Bowie was not a nostalgic artist, but the set list was primarily a greatest hits-style encapsulation of a career, with a band that consisted of a mix of Bowie veterans like Mike Garson and Earl Slick and younger session musicians like Gail Ann Dorsey and Sterling Campbell. Bowie was so good, and I'm not just saying that with the rose-tinted glasses of 12-year-old memories. He was one of the best singers and performers I've been lucky enough to see, and the show had the odd effect of humanizing him instead of turning him into even more of the alien superhero rock god I had mythologized. I was shocked and delighted at how many goofy, corny jokes Bowie told during the stage banter portion of the show, and how he would crack himself up with these silly jokes while his band rolled their eyes and grinned. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed seeing the joy he took in goofy puns and vaudeville-style old-fashioned jokes in between scorching everyone's faces off with some of the best rock songs ever written. I also loved seeing the pleasure and joy he took in watching his band perform, especially when bassist Gail Ann Dorsey took the Freddie Mercury parts on "Under Pressure." This guy loved musicians.<br />
Just picking two of my favorite Bowie songs, "Station to Station" and "Teenage Wildlife." Holy fuck. There are undiscovered countries in those songs. You can go back to those songs over and over again and never exhaust them. <br />
Even Bowie's death is inspiring. Here's a guy who finds out he's dying of cancer, so he makes an album with a group of younger jazz musicians he's never recorded with before, and he keeps his illness a secret even though the shit-rats at TMZ have at least three trash-parasites stationed in every famous person's underwear drawer. I'm glad I got to share 38 years on the often-disappointing planet of Earth with David Bowie, and I'm going to keep playing his wonderful, beautiful, scary, fantastic records until I'm a lifeless tube of meat.

2015 is over, so I thought I'd take the
opportunity on what Neil DeGrasse Tyson would consider an arbitrary date
to overshare about me, present a list of my favorite records and live
shows of the past year, and pimp my rock band.<br />
I had a weird year
that was better for me mentally than almost any year since I was nine
years old (excepting 1997 and late 1999/early 2000, the two other
post-fourth grade years where I wasn't hit with at least one bout of
depression) but also touched by tragedy. My group of friends lost a
wonderful person to cancer in May, a person who should have lived to be a
hilarious old woman, and we all miss her and will continue to miss her
for the rest of our go-cart ride around this globally-warmed fucked-up
orb where Donald Trump still walks among us. I also lost a cousin to
cancer that same month, but my father never told me so I just found out
two weeks ago (not from him). In case you were wondering if my family
was still a jacked-up mess, the Magic 8-Ball says it is decidedly so. In
happier circle of life news, my sister had twins, a boy and girl, in
September, and they're as cute as (or even cuter than) tiny people can
possibly be, even though I think all humans should cool it on the having
babies thing for at least 30 or 40 years because WE'RE DOOMED! WE'RE
ALL DOOMED!!!!!!!! but I am excited to see them in person on a trip
planned for the spring, and I'm psyched to have a niece and nephew at
one fell swoop (maybe the fell swoop thing is not the best choice of
phrase since it originated from birds of prey diving down for the kill).<br />
I
was amazed and thankful I spent a whole year without much depression (I
had lots of melancholia and genuine sadness, but none of the full-on
emptiness and lack of emotion and couch-stuck wasted days and wrung-out
towel for a psyche that swallow up a few months of most years), and I
attribute a lot of that to a years-in-the-making concerted effort to
live in the present. Sounds obvious and platitudinous, but I think I'm
mostly there now. I wasted too much time rehashing and being bitter
about the past and thinking about getting through the present to get to
some imagined better time in the future, and I mostly don't bother with
that shit now. Fuck the past, the future doesn't exist, yeah I know
these sound like bumper stickers but in practice this attitude really
works for me sentence fragment the end. I also decided to devote less
psychic real estate to my parents' problems and messes and all the
messiness and weirdness of the last 13 years in my family's existence and focus on fixing
my own problems and messes. And I decided to skip most parties this
year except for a handful of important ones because large social
gatherings make me nervous and antsy and self-conscious and weird and I
never have much fun and no one's paying me to attend, so I treated
myself right and went out when I felt like it and stayed home when I
felt like it. My friends are cool. I think they understand. I still like
all of them. I also quit Facebook, which is really working out great,
even though I still log in on my wife's account, but I've been doing
that less and less. I am happier not being on there as much. Also,
listening to albums in their entirety away from a computer, reading more
books, and watching less TV are all good decisions I made for myself
this year. It's working, man. I think the key to life is don't do shit
you don't wanna do if you don't have to do it. Do shit you wanna do if
you can. Try not to screw anybody up when not doing and doing these
things. I don't do new year's resolutions, but the next step on the
be-less-messed-up train is an effort to slow down my boozing and get rid
of my beer gut that taunts me in the mirror daily and be more healthy
even though exercise is boring as fuck and completely stupid compared to
things like rock and roll and delicious food. <br />
Enough of this self-help bullshit, let's switch to music.<br />

The band I play drums for, The Early Stages, put out our second 7-inch this year. We got a nice review from Byron Coley in Wire magazine, a pretty good review in Maximum Rocknroll, and some airplay on Jon Solomon's radio show on WPRB in New Jersey, the Expressway to Yr Skull podcast, and a few other podcasts and websites. Otherwise, zilch. I feel good about the music on this single, and I feel pretty good about my band, even though we can't get arrested in this town or most other places. You can buy/stream/hear this thing and our previous 7-inch at <a href="http://www.theearlystagesmusic.com/">http://www.theearlystagesmusic.com/</a> and <a href="https://theearlystages.bandcamp.com/">https://theearlystages.bandcamp.com/</a> <br />

Hello family and friends,<br />
Another year of challenges and blessings has come and gone. As we say goodbye to 2015 and how do you do to 2016, I've taken a few moments to reflect on the past year and share those reflections with you, our loved ones. It's hard to condense all the comings and goings and doings of one whole year into one little ol' typed letter, but here are some of the highlights from the last 365 days in the life of Marion, the kids, and the "Big Kahuna" AKA me (LOL).<br />
In February, the whole bunch of us got in the van and went to McDonald's. Todd had three McFlurries. (Can you believe it?)<br />
Cadence skinned her knee in the front yard imitating an episode of the Netflix original series <i>Narcos</i>. I think she learned her lesson about letting the professionals handle the stunts. :)<br />
Randy burned off part of his right eyebrow working the grill at our annual May Day BBQ (some of you were there). He won't get near open flames anymore and sometimes wakes up screaming, but the boy still loves his hot dogs and grilled halibut.<br />
Sheila sees a shadowy figure in her bedroom at night. She calls him The Shifter and says he's not quite human. He's told her terrifying prophecies about the future of humankind. <br />
Gabe got a B+ in Geometry.<br />
Jett got trapped in the wall in early March. He doesn't know how he got in there, and we can't figure out how to get him out. I don't know what he's been eating, but we can still hear him in there, pounding away, yelling. Boys will be boys.<br />
Marion still does her crafts. She has her hands full with the kiddos while I put in my 45 hours a week at the bologna factory, but the weekends are her time to shine. I've enclosed a photo of her latest project, toilet seat covers with the faces of each of our presidents (except Obama).<br />
I can get a 45% discount on one package of our company's processed meat products six times a year. <br />
Sometimes I look in the mirror and my face has turned to glass. My hands. My chest. My whole body. Then, I look again and I'm flesh and blood.<br />
The whole family has been enjoying <i>Homeland</i>, <i>Pawn Stars</i>, and that show with Rob Lowe and the kid from <i>The Wonder Years</i>. No spoilers! We're still catching up on the last few episodes.<br />
Sadly, our family has experienced some loss this year. Our poodle, Mr. Cooper, ate some poisoned kale and passed on to the next world. We believe our neighbors' teenage son was responsible but cannot prove this in a court of law. Fortunately, our Siamese cat, Clams Casino, and our Scottish terrier, Rolando, are still in the peak of health.<br />
As for me, I'm just glad to be living, loving, and gainfully employed in the good ol' U.S. of A. I hope 2015 treated you right.<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Ambrose, Marion, Todd, Cadence, Randy, Sheila, Gabe, Jett, Clams Casino, and Rolando Gurflakk<br />

On a weekday evening last month, I went to my neighborhood commercial art film theater (that, to be honest, mostly screens middlebrow visually bland horseshit about famous inspirational people, old folks getting their grooves back, old British folks getting their grooves back in India, feelgood neoliberal message movies for upper-class white people who are really pleased with themselves, movie-star Oscar-grubbing vanity projects, and a couple of genuinely good-to-great independent and foreign movies a month) to see a movie. My wife had a busy night, so I was flying solo and decided to get some candy at the concession stand, which we never, ever do. As I was waiting in the sort-of long line, I noticed a hubbub of some sort near the front with some very flustered-looking young employees exhibiting facial expressions I knew well from my own high school and college years in retail (the "can you believe I have to politely listen to this goddamn unreasonable human being to keep my job and can you believe how many fellow human beings are this goddamn unreasonable" look). The hubbub hadn't yet reached pandemonium status but was approaching a clamor. This is an unusual thing at a theater that mostly attracts rich old people wanting to see whatever chapter of exotic fucking marigold hotel we're at now or fellow thirty- and forty-somethings who like non-superhero movies. The guy at the concession counter was enraged, and his voice kept getting louder.<br />
This theater chain has a policy that if you buy the enormous, expensive, enormous popcorn size and you manage to eat it in all its enormity, you can come back in the lobby for a free enormous refill during the screening. The angry man at the front was under the impression he could come back any time he wanted and get a free refill, including a quick drop-in after work without even purchasing a movie ticket, and his empty popcorn container had clearly seen many miles on this road we call life, considering it was dented in several places and covered in dirt. When he received the reasonable verdict that a refill was not going to happen on this particular date and time, Mr. Popcorn Tub 2015 went berserk. He told the awkward college-aged assistant manager that he was doing a terrible job, he berated every member of the staff in detail, he threatened to call 911 and the police department, he yelled a ton of stuff about "false and misleading advertising," and he closed with this beautiful sentence about enlisting the local TV news watchdogs in his crusade before angrily storming out: "I'm gonna call 7 On Your Side and put this place on blast!" ("Area Man and His Dirt-Covered Container Denied Free Refill in Obama's America, tonight at 10, right before 'The Big Bang Theory'")<br />
The woman in line ahead of me turned to me and rolled her eyes. "Calm down, man," I said. "It's only popcorn." Then I thought about all the misery I've caused in my own life with my own quick, stupid temper. Then I bought some Twizzlers.Josh Krauterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08951130010325374744noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683735.post-30887850308192531902015-11-20T16:27:00.000-06:002015-11-20T16:27:10.900-06:00Everyone I grew up with is dead<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEaJZwH_6kJaad2gwNjxe31SWsX8gxqk7A9o3maTE62gkPct8-D1JlKVXRi7-cCskdx-c-Y_NpbbLBii5ZBMhkUgPNwK2nmeT6N2JZpWaDoH5mrcIcKXfKmH1UyplchIKI03qWGA/s1600/Angry+yelling+man.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEaJZwH_6kJaad2gwNjxe31SWsX8gxqk7A9o3maTE62gkPct8-D1JlKVXRi7-cCskdx-c-Y_NpbbLBii5ZBMhkUgPNwK2nmeT6N2JZpWaDoH5mrcIcKXfKmH1UyplchIKI03qWGA/s400/Angry+yelling+man.jpg" /></a></div>
I was very fond of my mom's brothers and their spouses and girlfriends and kids when I was growing up, and I used to have a lot of good childhood memories before social media ruined everything forever. There is a curious disconnect between their friendliness and warmth in person on the rare holidays when we're all in the same place, and the vitriolic, hate-filled spew they seem to spend every waking second of their free time vomiting forth on social media. Anyone who is slightly to the left of Ted Nugent is an idiot, a moron, a hater of freedom, a hater of the United States, weak, a sheep (they love calling people sheep even though they never post an original thought of their own, just memes and chain letters and propaganda videos), a loser, a coward, etc., etc., etc. They find transgender people hilarious. They make fun of Black Lives Matter. They back every police officer who shoots an unarmed black person or uses unnecessary force. They express anger and hostility toward the communities who stood up for themselves and protested this police brutality. (They loved Cliven Bundy, though.) They think everyone on food stamps is either lazy or a scam artist. They post the ugliest anti-Muslim propaganda and anti-Arab and anti-Middle East racist bullshit and think the entire Muslim religion is a terrorist call-to-arms. They thought the blowhard, pandering governors who said they weren't going to take in Syrian refugees (even though each one of these goons knows he has no authority to deny them) were great guys. They post memes with fabricated statistics, distortions, exaggerations, and lies, and when I was still dumb enough to respond with proof, they told me they didn't accept my sources because "all sources are biased." Shortly before I quit Facebook, they called my mother and I "fucking keyboard warriors" who should "move to Iraq if you love it so much" because my mother posted something on her own damn page about the overselling of ISIS by right wing media to stir up hatred, and I defended her when they all ganged up on her like the redneck creeps they unfortunately have become (always were?).<br />
I quit Facebook, which helped considerably, but I still occasionally see their bullshit when I log on to my wife's account to see what she and our friends and my non-asshole relatives (mother, brother, sister) and the band I'm in are posting. It bums me out, man. It really, really bums me out. If they were just moderate conservatives who weren't doling out a near-constant stream of insults, misinformation, racism, and xenophobia, it wouldn't bother me. We don't have to agree. I have friends who are Republicans, libertarians, Communists, and anarchists, all schools of thought I could never subscribe to, but these people don't treat other people like garbage for having a different point of view.<br />
To be fair, I hate liberal memes and preaching to the choir and liberal infighting about who cares more and how you're caring wrong and the way people are pounced on and destroyed for saying something ignorant or prejudiced in public or for not using the currently fashionable buzzword for a marginalized group. I hate all the white liberal self-congratulation and back-patting and bragging about enlightenment. I hate goddamn Facebook memes. I hated myself when I was on Facebook arguing with my relatives. I hate politics in general. Art and fun are my bags. But I hate the right wing social media shit-stirrer hate factory the most. <br />
Whenever I think about the angry, hate-filled, macho, violent garbage my relatives perpetuate on social media, I get really down. Even if almost all of the shit they say about liberals and all the "information" they post is wildly inaccurate and a clear misrepresentation, I take it personally. It grinds me down to think they think so little of me. I hate how they've tarnished so many fond memories. I feel my own anger and hatred increasing in response to theirs, and I don't like that about myself. I don't know how people who had such a great, kind, open-minded mother and grandmother could spend so much time trying to make other people feel shitty. Why are a bunch of American white people with families and decent jobs and hobbies they love so bitter and hate-filled and angry and resentful and paranoid and suspicious of anyone who doesn't look, think, and act exactly like them? It seems to bother my brother and sister less than it bothers me, and I don't know how they so successfully let it go without dwelling on it. But I'm obsessed. Why are they doing this? Were they always like this? Would my grandparents and friends' grandparents act like this if social media had been a part of their daily routine? What happened to my relatives? What the hell happened to them? What happened to everybody?<br />
Is anybody else dealing with this? How do you keep it from ruining your day? Do you just cut them loose from your life? Is Mark Zuckerberg one of history's greatest monsters, or did we do this to ourselves?<br />
