Still Mad About CD Prices

For #MusicWomenWednesday here's Shotgun Down the Avalanche by Shawn Colvin, plus a #request - If anyone has a recording she made of this song in the early 90s, distributed on "sampler" CDs & cassettes given out as promos, I would be most grateful if you point me to it. I first heard this song on such a CD ("Summer Sampler", maybe distributed by X96, the alternative station in Provo, UT). Compared to later versions I can find (not including this acoustic take, which is lovely) It was less produced, a little more raw, and more emotionally impactful. I've been looking for years; I never ripped that CD to computerized format, and now the CD is gone.

Rep Jamie Raskin is encouraging people to send in requests to to demand an enumeration of what the department knows about each requester. Since DOGE is an official government agency, they are obliged to respond to these requests per the Federal Privacy Act of 1974. US District Judge Casey Cooper has affirmed this as well in a recent ruling.

An explanation of the campaign, and a form letter ready for your customization is found here: jamieraskin.com/doge-privacy-a

Hello #mastadon !

I have a simple #request for #help -

I have been getting a ton of traction on #scoopz and I am doing some shameless #selfpromo again!

I want the whole world to know #trump can't actually read. So I made a #rant about it, and I would like #signalboost from the #fediverse so it gets higher in the algorithm.

I would highly #recommend the #app as it's essentially a more mature #tiktok and super raw.

Thank you!

Some Guy Extraordinaire

Fair warning: I don't have anything you might call a "music career" or "music income" or, you know, "fans". I have an OK day job, so a small amount of money is on the table, but it's pretty small.

The lack of those things above also means I don't need mega-control over results. Creativity = awesome. It also means if you can use the results in any way to drive your own career etc., I'm very open to that--e.g., all I'd ask is that you cut me in if you make any money from this.

I'm out of the clinical game (many years now), and so I'm out of all the loops. I'm getting CE invitations to learn about something called "polyvagal theory", apparently (?) asserting that vagal responses (or polyvagal? IDK) are involved in, and can ameliorate, psychological disorders.

Before I do a deep dive, does anyone have a one-sentence summary of what this is?
