The Building is Closed, The Vibe is Open

The Building is Closed, The Vibe is Open

The first great snowstorm of 2026 hit Kentucky last week and sent many schools either to pure snow days or Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) days. So, I spent most of last week sitting at my desk, unshowered, unshaved, and low-key fiending for in-person human interactions.

Doing my best to keep spirits up, I put together a quick playlist with some of my late-70s baby post-punk/new wave goodness and shared it with my teachers.

The reviews were overwhelmingly positive.
