Jumped into listening to Harriet Tubman recently and was struck by this kind of existentially familiar deep emotional connection to Terror End of Beauty. Was trying to trace it for a few weeks… and realized some tracks are evocative of the soundtrack to the old school Transformers animated movie (at least to my ear). I remember renting that from Errol’s (DMV movie rentals pre-Blockbuster) when I was very young. It was super intense relative to what you’d expect (Optimus Prime dies quite viscerally) and it’s somehow stuck with me all these years. Random as hell post, but felt compelled and curious about reactions. Love the album and Harriet Tubman.

I love the race and the organizers. I’m surprised each year that despite all the announcements and signs, folks are surprised that 355 is shutdown. Definitely disruptive, but it’s one Sunday morning a year. What could the City/organizers/people generally do to make this work even better?
