Finished The Complete Stories by Clarice Lispector. Collects the Brazilian writer’s nine collections plus previously unpublished works. The tales that worked best for me in this volume were the ones based on interactions between men & women. The abstract inner monologues were tough to grasp. Just OK

A movie that cost $1,000,000 to make in 1992 would cost approximately $2.33 million ($2,329,187.46) in 2026. That means that for $250M in 2026, you could make 107 Reservoir Dogs. #films #cinema #filmmaking #independentcinema #independentfilms

This Iran thing is like if Trump went into a grocery store in a town he didn’t live & wrecked it, then he asked everyone in the store to help him wreck it, & when they didn’t, he said, “See ya!” & left everyone who uses the store to clean it up. Also he killed a lot of people & spent a ton of money.

Substack is awful, they are a Nazi platform

I’m considering launching a subscription newsletter. Which is the preferred platform: Substack or Ghost?

Spoiler without context.

This week I learned about Miss Mei who seems super fun, and I also learned on #ChartChat that it’s time for me to listen to “Frampton Comes Aliv, an album I only know from it being confiscated from Tommy by Hedwig in the 2001 film “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”.

8 LPs I’ve Been Digging Released in 2026’s First 3 Mos: Dry Cleaning - Secret Love Xiu Xiu - XMFX Jill Scott - 2 Whom This May Concern Cootie Catcher - Something We All Got Mitski - Nothing’s About 2 Happen 2 Me Bill Callahan - My Days of 58 Heavenly - Highway 2 Heavenly Abi Reimold - Picking Stones

Easily our most chaotic episode, but also one of our best.

How about we load Rob in a cannon and fire him at Iran?

Episode 430 is up! Andy speaks with Miss Mei about Music Only I Care About with Miss Mei, which can be heard on the Sheena's Jungle Room stream via WFMU. On Rachel's Chart Chat, Rachel from Des Moines (@therachel.bsky.social) celebrates the 50th anniversary of Frampton Comes Alive. @wfmu.bsky.social

I have such a hard time watching anything on Netflix. It all looks so cheap & plasticky. The background is always blurry. There’s always a haze around the lighting. Compare the screenshots from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to Stranger Things below. I’m not crazy! Netflix’s programming looks shitty.

Just picked up Existential Bread by Jim Franks at the library:

The final segment of our “Free to Be You and Me” chat this week on #ChartChat- talking about this very formative album with the brilliant @therachel.bsky.social & @julieklausner.bsky.social has been my favorite podcast guest appearance of any I’ve done. Which isn’t a ton, but is some!

Ep 429 is up! Andy talks about Justin Timberlake’s arrest vid & Afroman: 1st Amendment hero. On Rachel's Chart Chat, Rachel delivers pt 4 of her Free to Be... You & Me listening party with guests Julie Klausner & Tavie Phillips. @therachel.bsky.social @julieklausner.bsky.social @tavie.bsky.social

New episode up. As soon as I uploaded this, the McArthur Foundation called me but it was a wrong number, so congrats to Structural Biologist Jason McLellan on the genius grant i guess.
