February was Black History Month, and on this first day of March, I hope to continue the conversation of the importance of racial equality and black presence, history, and experience in our society past the month of February. I hope to present today’s tracks, and a Ted Talks interview with the founders of Black Lives Matter, from a place of support and solidarity, with acknowledgement of my privilege as a white person.

This week, I ponder the calamity that was my day, and play music to mellow out to. Not that all the music is mellow, there are some great tunes to rock out to, and even some Zappa. Ever gone cruisin' for cheeseburgers? Give it a try some time! Also, cats are okay!
