Great New Music I'm Recommending Right Now - by Ted Gioia ¶

Town Squares
If Twitter is a "town square", then the last month has been like a western movie where some bad guy and his band of hoods rode into Twitter Town, bought it and the locals freaked the f&%k out. Many of us have fled to the dense woods of Mastodon or opted for the [sparsely regulated…
