We're thrilled to welcome the talented Patrick Jarenwattananon (@patrickjaren) as CapitalBop's first-ever managing editor. You can read his arrival letter here. capitalbop.com/patrick-jaren…

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it, he thought, as he reached for a scalding hot bowl of oatmeal in the microwave – at Washington, DC
Occasionally, I still write about music. xitter.cf/Bandcamp/status/918901…
LCD 'Sound of Silver' is on shuffle at this Starbucks in Manhattan (I know, but free wifi tho) which seems appropriate for New York c. 2017
On Route 460 between Roanoke and Bedford, Va., you pass Jazz Tobacco and Big Boyz Guns, housed in the same building. 🎷🚬👨👦👦🔫 – at Blue Ridge, VA

silver lining of forcible retirement is that my reaction to the Jazz Internet teapot-tempest du jour can be :plugs_ears_with_index_fingers:
