Whenever my head starts to hurt
I always do things that make it worse
And then I complain
That my head is in this pain

No I don't believe in ibuprofen 
You don't think it's a placebo? You must be joking
If this is concerning that's alright
If I run I'll catch the train in time

I laugh when people slip on ice
unless they're old or you don't think that it's nice
in which case I don't laugh at all
I run and jump to break their fall

So you can see me as your hero 
And you can tell all your friends that you met a hero 
So if you'd like to leave I understand 
But if you take a chance I'll take your hand 

I always like to feed the squirrels 
even though they're taking over the world
I'd like to see a squirrel be king
decked out in gold and diamond rings

So we can finally 
return to our elemental biology 
And if this is alarming that's alright
There was something in my drink tonight 

I brush my teeth with gasoline
the real good stuff E15
helps to keep them nice and clean

So I can always run under the gum 
And I can talk myself up into being someone 
So if you'd like to leave I understand 
But if you take a chance I'll take your hand

We are joined by one of our favorite friends — Meredith Whittaker — for a giant discussion that bridges her two latest articles. First a historical analysis of Charles Babbage and the smoking gun that directly links plantation logics of control with the industrial design of computation. Then a political economy of “open” AI and the material power that dominates the entire stack for these systems.

One of favorite tracks is Dayvan Cowboy by Boards of Canada, so I came up with a guitar part that was fairly similar and then constructed this song around that with some crunchy, dusty drums. I created this during a beautiful dusk evening, thus the song title.  Hope you enjoy it!

Discover the soundtrack of Close to Me (Muori di lei), a tense Italian drama set in Rome during lockdown. The story follows Luca, a 40-year-old philosophy teacher whose life unravels when his wife Sara, a doctor, returns to emergency hospital duty. Left alone and emotionally adrift, Luca becomes dangerously drawn to his new neighbor Amanda, blurring the lines between desire, loneliness, and obsession.

A soundtrack filled with introspection, pulse, and emotional depth by Francesco Cerasi, mirroring the psychological journey at the heart of the film.
