Monika Bauerlein,

Dear MoJo Reader,
Have you been following the news less? A lot of people have, and that can be good, but it can also spell trouble for those of us in the news business. We're about to find out, because Mother Jones has a $350,000 fundraising goal right now. In "Slow News Is Good News," I try to reset after several chaotic years and make a longer-lasting case for why our nonprofit journalism matters. I hope you'll read it and that you'll pitch in if you can.

TRACK 7
“Hold On to Now”
From Lily and Madeleine‘s Fumes
ASTHMATIC KITTY
Liner notes: The Jurkiewicz siblings deliver the nicest breakup song ever, entwining in lustrous harmony: “Everything’s changing soon/I don’t know how/I’m moving away from you.”
Behind the music: In 2012, Lily and Madeleine’s YouTube covers of Bob Dylan and First Aid Kit caught the attention of producer Paul Mahern, who contacted the Indianapolis teens and encouraged them to pursue music careers.
