Released this day in 1973, *Alladin Sane* is David Bowie’s sixth studio album and the follow-up to * The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust*. It’s the one with *that* cover.

I mean, come on. Good day today: Loretta Lynn born on this day 1932. One of the all time greats. Cal’s favorite female country artist of all time. He’ll be in the bathroom. https://t.co/Z6mPeLppZ3

Herbie Hancock, 84 years young today. The man contains multitudes, so I won’t do him the disservice of attempting to blurb his genius here. Suffice it to say, if you’re old enough to be reading this and unfamiliar with his music, start and the beginning and never stop.

I first stumbled across Khruangbin when I accidentally heard their 2018 release *Con Todo el Mundo*, instantly falling in love with their airy, cinematic vibes.

King Oliver, died this day in 1938 at the age of (probably) 56. Cornet player, bandleader, and composer, these Victor-era recordings will take you directly back to one of the greatest drinking eras in history.

It's truly incredible, but we opened the doors at Best Intentions five years ago today. As many of you know, we could never have done it without the help of our incredible family and friends, who served as our pro…

We implore everyone to strive to be part of the solution. We ask that you fight against racism in all parts of your life and seek to create a society of equal justice for all people. For those of you protesting, please stay safe and take care of each other.

We are now witnessing a response to hundreds of years of injustice—a fully justified anger and an unwillingness to accept the continuation of racism and the senseless murder it fosters.

We have witnessed atrocities over the past week that boggle the mind, violence and racism that has no place in any society.

We know also that we do not have the answers, but that we desire strongly to be part of a lasting solution and real change.

And while we have always strived to be a safe place for all people, to treat everyone equally, with compassion and empathy, we recognize that that has not been enough.

As a white-owned business, we recognize that much of what we have accomplished has been made possible by a broken system that eases the way for us while continuing to wreak havoc on the lives of others.

We are sad, and we are angry. We stand with those protesting peacefully and we denounce all forms of violence against black people worldwide. We believe those committing these inexcusable acts should be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Thank you again for putting this on. We’ll be keeping an eye out on the current and future tourneys and continuing to participate!

You know who’s enjoying our patio while none of us are allowed to? These guys; blissfully untrampled and free to enjoy themselves. And though we have deep love and respect for our tiny green friends, we can’t wait…

Magic hour. You know who else is magic? @barbiscay Bodega Biscay is the jam, and we’re about to fire up the grill and smash these burgers that we bought to go with this amazing gift. @archiepowell is fucking…

You, sir, are a prince.

This is what it means to love someone.
