Bailter Space was one of the two loudest shows I have ever attended in my life. Relentless pummeling. I sure wish that I got a chance to see the Gordons. #RIPBrentMcLachlan

This time of year, my brain is always about 10% thinking about "Christmas Wrapping." I haven't heard the song yet in the wild, but it always excites me when I do. A few years ago, I wrote about the song's greatness! anniezaleski.substack.com/p/the-greatn...

I somehow missed that Richard Ayoade directed this music video back in February. And his whole family, including himself, is starring in it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-rF...

There's a new documentary coming about Jason Molina. youtu.be/xU4IugQ-dsQ...

Thankful for this old Steve post. @electricalwsop.bsky.social

In what can only be madness and my subconscious working overtime, I have the I Robot song from @cbbworld.bsky.social @pftompkins.bsky.social @scottaukerman.bsky.social stuck in my head with the new, terrifying lyrics, "Please don't declare martial law this Christmas." www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3zB...

Who wants to split a 60 lb. box of Tommy Bartlett stickers with me? www.ebay.com/itm/38862057...

Absolutely howling at this track a dad left his daughter on a random and bizarre mix tape he made for her before he died. Come for the vocals; stay for the final line 🤣 what a wonderful gift to leave her and what a wholesome reaction!

Why aren't there more Chicago dogs named Wrigley?

If you have a gift card with a random amount of $ left over, head over to @bandcamp.com and find a Pay-What-You-Want album for sale. It's how I bought this Rocket Bureau EP for $7.39 and can live peacefully knowing that I'm not leaving money on the table. rocketbureau.bandcamp.com/album/party-...

Such a lonely word...

They're firing us. They're locking us up. They're starving us to death.

Two episodes and I'm completely drawn into the new Vince Gilligan series. This trailer really plays it for laughs but the tone is super strange, in a good way. I feel like I haven't seen anything like this before. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYHG...

New Kelly Reichardt. This is gonna be good! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWok...

I can't believe that Hal Hartley and Sophia Coppola both have new films in the theaters and I'm just finding out about them this week.

If you rely on Facebook and X for sharing information, prepare to find yourself out of luck when those communication channels get shut down. Bring back mailing lists.

Rest in peace. Was so happy to see you interviewed in the Sly Lives! doc. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGhq...

And you will be photographed. Count on it.

Huh, The Comics Journal doesn't seem to have the images of Joe Sacco's "The Angel Laughs" up anymore... upsetting... Well, here's the full two pages of the comic:

This looks pretty delightful to me. Zoey Deutch makes a great Jean Seberg and the person playing Leaud is capturing his spirit as well! I'm also looking forward to the sequel, Italian Neorealism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UufR...

OK, @bebeneuwirth.bsky.social, this is perfect…

Oh HELL yes

Makes me think of some birdwatching advice I once got: If it's a bird? It's a crow. If it's a beak with a bird attached? It's a raven.

Planning a Reykjavik trip in September. There are museums I plan on hitting, and a puffin and Northern lights tour. I hear the bakery scene is impressive. Any other suggestions for me? I'm going to be pretty mellow about it but want to hear if there is something really special. Not into elf stuff.
