this world can feel flush with green 
during times of abundance, 
but browns are far more common

SONG OF THE DAY: Disco Dan


This is a song from South Africa, put out in 1976, so it's technically not about Cool Disco Dan, infamous DC graffiti legend. But also it is. The Legend of Cool Disco Dan documentary is available on those free streaming platforms, and doesn't seem to be on Internet Archive yet. Not sure where you can download it for safekeeping once the internet is purposefully crashed. Watch it while you can to get some inspiration for scribbling messages around town.

SONG OF THE DAY: My Walkin' Shoes


“My Walkin’ Shoes” written on 360 train cars, by this time next year. That’s the goal. And to be honest, that’s a conservative goal.

running round downward spirals
