Today, I take my guidelines from the tiktaalik, our distant ancestor. They gave up the sea for the land, and in the increasing number of days of the year when our air is equal parts air, water, and foreign matter, I feel evolutionarily challenged with the mechanism my forbears bequeathed me. This mix makes me feel a little more in step with the New World of Lowered Expectations and Increased Tedium in which I find myself. Also, I just picked up (and can't recommend it highly enough) the 2016 compilation of recordings of Moondog. Several tracks are scattered through here. And some, like the first track, from 1953, are so ahead of/out of their time as to stagger my brain. That one could be a Penguin Cafe tune from their best records. More in comments.
