Bizarrely, and for reasons too long and dull to explain, I've released an album of odd rock guitar instrumentals under the pseudonym Trey Fontaine.

The main link is to the album on YouTube, as that seemed more democratic. it's on Spotify here, Apple Music here, and all the other streaming services, as far as I can tell, or at least that's what CD Baby says.

I'd actually forgotten it was coming out, or I'd have added it to Bandcamp, too, which I'll do as soon as I can, I don't have the time to create a new account and yada yada right now.

I wonder who's getting the money from those YouTube ads. I'm guessing it's not me.

If all cautionary tales sounded like NYC-based singer and tarot reader Syd Silvair's new song "Heroine," perhaps we would be more inclined to listen, you know, like for our own good. The dreamy pop track is super-charged with the type of racing synth swells and funky guitar riffs that span decades of influences: somewhere between […]

As Minnesota Gov. Walz weighs his decision on when to let nonessential businesses reopen, he's facing a lot of pressure from a frustrated workforce, especially from small business owners who are trying to stay afloat during the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus outbreak. "The frustrations that they have are real. These are businesses that, they may have been in families for generations or they built up," the Democratic governor says in an interview with Morning Edition . The state is under a stay-at-home order until at least May 18 . In reopening the economy, he says, businesses will face another challenge: consumer confidence. Walz worries that — even with stay-at-home orders lifted — many consumers will be skittish about reengaging with businesses until they feel safe. Walz says many businesses should remain closed until the state ramps up its testing capacity. Achieving that goal will help contain the virus's spread, as well as bolster the public's confidence, he says.

Many people are finding social distancing difficult or lonely. Those challenges can become compounded for people recovering from substance abuse disorders. In fact, the coronavirus pandemic and resulting quarantine conditions have been identified as a “relapse trigger.” And it has become a dangerous reality for those who struggle with sobriety. The Georgia Council on Substance Abuse estimates that some 800,000 Georgians are in recovery from alcohol and drug addiction.

And Pamela Kohn, executive director of Ciné in Athens, said their decision to shut down the theater was difficult, but necessary.

What has this unprecedented period behind closed doors revealed about the motivations behind our self-care? And what will happen to the beauty market when self-isolation is over — especially given that Gov. Brian Kemp recently gave the greenlight for barbershops and hair and nail salons to re-open?
