Trek Tunes 2026.07.28

I aspire to walk every day, and walk/run/jog at least 3x per week [temporarily paused for pain management], for the duration of at least 10 songs each on my pandora shuffled stations. Variability of song style and length appeals to something in me that works.

Today I achieved 11 songs during the walk.

Today’s trek highlight is Snakes For Dinner by Mastodon. This song is sad, and it is not subtle. I know they all thought time would pass and they’d patch things up with Brent Hinds, and now that future hangs unrealized in their hearts, driving the sword of grief deeply into their music. RIP BH.

I never realized just how much of their sound hinged on Brent until it wasn't there. He brought that non-metal influence that kept things fresh. New guitarist is great but he's another prog-metal guitarist.

How’s your streak going- aside from pain?

I’ve been getting a lot of lunch meetings and appointments lately but I’m moving all the days that are open. Streak may be a stretch but I’m doing what I can.

I expected maybe another 6, but here you are with 11!

It was a good day, and I didn’t push, but it felt better than yesterday. Literal baby steps, but steps nonetheless.
