Some guy just said Marty Supreme is the third Safdie Bros movie about a narcissistic asshole who takes advantage of his friends for financial gain, and I think he just figured out the Safdie formula. 🤯

Happy Friday!

Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie and the Banshees and Anthony Michael Hall. I’m guessing this photo was taken on the set of the 1986 film Out of Bounds which featured a cameo from Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Happy Friday!

Finished Room to Dream by David Lynch & Kristine McKenna. A memoir that begins at DL’s birth & ends just after Twin Peaks: The Return. Chapters alternate between McKenna’s interviews with folks in Lynch’s orbit followed by a chapter by David recalling the same moments. Loved this book. DL is a hero.

KFC Japan's Christmas tradition, starting from a 1974 marketing campaign called "Kentucky for Christmas," involves millions of Japanese families ordering fried chicken for their holiday meal because turkey was hard to find,

We were going to chill at the inn today, but guess what? NO ROOM. So we made a podcast instead. Enjoy, and Happy Holidays!

Eraserhead is a Christmas movie.

Ever see a painting and wish you were in it?

The timeless poetry of Beck.

This week’s episode put me back in the holiday mood after a day of Not Feeling It. I especially loved the Willie Nelson holiday album themed #ChartChat. The song where Willie works in Santa and religious imagery in the same verse reminds me of the store window in Hoboken that used to display a…

Amen, JW.

Fuck CBS Fuck the Ellisons Fuck Bari Weiss Fuck Paramount

I hope everyone listens to this, even if only to hear the part where I say “Goodfellows” 😅 I couldn’t fix it bc I didn’t pack my mic for Florida. Please enjoy, comment, share with a friend! 💙🩵💙

Ep 416 is up! Andy talks about a guy paying to be Gene Simmons’ roadie, Rod Stewart yelling at a fan, a streamer not recognizing Ringo Starr, & Riff Raff freestyling. On Rachel's Chart Chat, Rachel from Des Moines (@therachel.bsky.social) looks at Willie Nelson's 1979 Christmas album "Pretty Paper".

Amen, JW.

Just realized Apple Music lets you turn the vocal track on a song up or down while it’s playing.🤯🎶

Saw a preppy teen at B&N in a brand new Geese cap, and now I think I’m done with Geese.

Just picked up these two recent memoirs at the library:

“If women ran the world, I think peace would be way closer.” -David Lynch, from his memoir, Room to Dream

Making coffee and listening to the Cramps.

Happy Friday!

God, I miss Obama. You think Trump has read one book in the last ten years? America is being run by a hateful narcissistic idiot. #BarackObama #favoritebooks #yearendlist

Happy Friday!

Bobcat Goldthwait on Boston TV circa 1987 talking about gun control:

Andy is right: if work is offering free food, take it!

“I've always buttoned the top button of my shirt because I don't like air on my collarbone and I don't like anyone touching my collarbone. It makes me crazy and I don't know why. It might've been one of the reasons for the ties, to protect my neck.” -David Lynch, from his memoir, Room to Dream

Cameron Winter and Debbie Harry

BINGO! RUSH! Now we’re cooking!!!

Donald Trump has enacted significant cuts to funding for LGBTQ+ programs during his second term, which began in January 2025. Here’s a list:

“Music is my way of being in the world.” -“Blue” Gene Tyranny

Trump’s legacy will be being a hateful piece of shit.

smashing play so hard I cracked my screen.

In ep 406, I did positions 10-1, now 20-11. Last time I used ‘90s Rush instrumentals as bed music; if I could do it over I would actually pull the clips for each song (like I did this week.) it makes it a more coherent experience. Please enjoy! Listen, comment, share w a Rush-loving pal. 🥰

Ep 415 is up! Andy drinks a soda then calls Bingo (@yourpalbingo.bsky.social) and speaks with him about the halfwayokay (@halfwayokay.bsky.social) Cursemas Marathon Show. On Rachel’s Chart Chat, Rachel from Des Moines (@therachel.bsky.social) looks at more hits from Rush on the rock airplay chart.

Finished Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. The story takes place in late 1960s Japan & follows Toru as he navigates the personalities of three women. This is the most sexually graphic Murakami I’ve read, but the sex never feels gratuitous. Don’t expect magical realism. Expect sex. Loved this book.
