"I thought I knew everything. It was getting to know Steve Barrow that not only convinced me I knew nothing but that I had to spend the rest of my life learning."
Steve Knutson/Audika Records/Arthur Russell Estate
Even with all posthumous fanfare and now decades long drip of reissues Arthur Russell can never really be praised enough
"Close My Eyes" by Arthur Russell is a strong contender for best song ever written.
More people need to discover/re-discover Arthur Russell!
Iβve been listening to a lot of Arthur Russell again lately and once again I am blown away by the boundless musical creativity of that man and his endless drive to make music holy shit

Can't seem to figure out when is a good time to post or how to get people to read things I write.
I'm just gonna leave this here again. If this resonates with you, say hello. Maybe subscribe.
It's about Arthur Russell, queer longing, how difficult it is to write, and why I hate AI.
