my uncle sean's brother mike was a rly prolific blues singer. he sang with bonnie raitt and played with CSNY at one point as well. this cover of "built for comfort not for speed" features mike on vocals and my uncle sean on keyboard playing it like a percussive instrument lol. anyway enjoy.

incredible classic folk music. i am a huge fan of live recordings and the songs that are prove to be no exception. dylan comes in for - one of my favourite renditions of - It Ain't Me Babe and of course the crowd looses their shit, which is very funny. i love this album. saying that is a bit redundant because i wouldn't be blogging if i didn't, but it bears repeating. I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!
i hope you are well, friend.

set a timer for yourself to do the thing you've been procrastinating for five minutes. then work up to 10, 15, etc.
i often feel way better after I Do The Thing. the procrastination part is usually just dreading getting started, but once you do the task tends to go by quickly, esp if you put on music or a TV show in the background. calling a friend or just having them in the room to body double is helpful as well if you are of the ADHD persuasion.
i totally understand the fear of failure though - i often let wanting things to be "perfect" get in the way of "good enough". not that you should half-ass things, but go a little easier on yourself. i'm sure whatever project you're working on will turn out 10X better than you think it will. best of luck xx

i went to an all-girls boarding school in western Massachusetts. almost got expelled, DID get suspended for some dumb, regular teenage shit that the faculty reacted to like i was an actual felon instead of a 15 yr old, formerly homeschooled goody-two-shoes. anyway, it recently came out that one of the history teachers that has been there for 30 years was grooming and SA'ing girls and the faculty had been covering it up. luckily i was never involved with him, never had a class with him, but its still weird knowing that he was a dorm parent and would do week-end nightly check-ins in the dorms, he lived at school with us practically, had a house directly next to campus, etc. i wasn't close with him but i KNEW him, he gave me bad vibes, and now 30 years later all his shit and the schools shit is getting aired out. feels good to be vindicated in my suspicions and the unfair treatment of students at that hellschool but my heart goes out to the many victims, named and unnamed, that he violated over the years.
