scrolled too fast and thought this was Don King

Emma Bovary invented sexy baby

here, for instance, is Pitchfork finally picking up on the death of Tucker Zimmerman, two full days after Stereogum

flop era, subscribe to Stereogum instead

grabbed a ticket for this before posting but HOLY SHIT BILL CALLAHAN MONORAIL IN-STORE

tbh I hate the majority of the council-approved murals in Glasgow, they mostly already look this shite, would take good honest graffiti any day over them (honorable exception: the Lobey Dosser mural at Partick station is good)

The aesthetic of these murals has been pointing in the direction of AI for a while now, I think. "What if an Instagram filter learned how to paint?" Much better to have murals in a range of styles, and - crucially - with actual people getting whatever benefits might come with the gig.

having now listened to the whole thing I cannot believe this EP exists because I cannot believe it's still possible to make songs sound like this (in large part because I cannot believe it's still possible for Al Green to sing like that as he closes in on 80)

my internal monologue upon seeing the trailer for Don Jon (Gordon-Levitt, 2013)

Checking Hitler’s IMDb.

have got into a situation where a pleasant man in probably his mid to late 50s who often goes swimming at the same time as me will now greet me by name and I have no idea how he knows my name or what his name is and it's gone too far for me to ever be able to ask

listening to this now and have been reminded that at the time this album was recorded Linda Ronstadt was dating George Lucas (insane), who directed the video for one of its singles (also crazy)

we could be looking at a record breaking year if he maintains this pace

four of the five top billed cast members in the 1961 West Side Story still being alive (and the one who died being Natalie Wood, which wasn't exactly natural causes) is really something

bought a second hand copy of Trio yesterday not even realising today is Dolly's 80th, and Emmylou played here on Friday, what is the universe trying to tell me

nominating Superchunk's Here's to Shutting Up purely for its aspirational title

🚨 MIAMI VICE IS ON IPLAYER 🚨

kind of wild that literally all of this is happening because Obama did a tight five at the Press Correspondents' Dinner

as in favour as I am of more modern soundtracks being used for silent screenings, R.E.M., and particularly mid-90s R.E.M., is such an odd choice for Buster Keaton

I love him

it's so weird to watch a River Phoenix performance and remember 'oh yeah this is Joaquin Phoenix's brother', two actors who seem like they inhabit completely different realities

I'm ostensibly the original target audience for Harry Potter - turned 11 the year the first book came out, would have aged right alongside Harry had she stuck to the one a year schedule - and we're approaching 20 years since I last interacted with it in any way, why is this so hard for other people

inner tubers, phoenicia, new york, 1978

One of my oldest friends has gone missing in Thailand. Sharing this on all platforms and would appreciate any reposts

there is a cat in a pram on the subway

the lesson of The Bone Temple is that all wayward kids need is the theatrical release of a metal show

CALENDAR TIME. CALENDAR TIME FOR BUDDY.

35mm, going in 🫡

get away from her you bitch

must be something I loved as a kid but revisited as an adult. hated The Lion King on a relatively recent watch. was obsessed with Donnie Darko in my teens but picked up the 4K a few years back and had a sinking 'oh is this... bad?' feeling while watching.

IF YA SEE A FADED SIGN AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IT SAYS 15 MILES TO THE

a year without Lynch. 20 years without a theatrically released Lynch feature. almost a decade since Twin Peaks even. gonna have to pass down to younger generations what it was like to be alive in a time when there was new Lynch being released.

Al Green dropped a new EP (???!!) and half of the four tracks are written by Lou Reed (????!!!) (the other one is Perfect Day, which is more expected)

Venezuelan Busta Rhymes: Corina Machado, tricked out to the Donatello and got Juan Guaido'd; come at the empanada man and you gwan die slow Chilean JPEGMAFIA: Mengele stole my cum at the club and cloned me Argentinian Kanye: (loudest noise you've ever heard) THEY CALL HIM THE ECONOMY HITLERRRRR

been staring at this image on and off all day

have a horrible suspicion this is the film Yorgos Lanthimos thinks he keeps making

this charm of the bourgeoisie... how discreet we talking here

A.V. Undercover, in parallel with the wider A.V. Club, has never been the same since they left the circular room but there remain some ways in which we can make it the early 2010s again by force of will

as someone who never watched it I should know by now that any time some actor I've never heard of seems to appear out of nowhere with a massive pre-existing fanbase they were in Game of Thrones

remember watching a PMQs probably about a decade ago now where Tim Farron was called to speak and a member of the House very audibly said off mic 'is he still here?', anyway,

I could not hum a single piece of music Hans Zimmer has composed, or been credited with composing, for a film in the 26 years since Gladiator, and even at that all the bits I can think of have Lisa Gerrard on them, who is credited as co-composer

have just discovered there's (semi-)pro footage of this entire show with multiple cameras and soundboard audio, which is very disorienting having seen this phone footage so many times

oh hey this has finally gone up, I did the cover art for the debut single from the mysterious* Young Hector tidal.com/album/489691... (*I mean, obviously I know who it is, but I don't know if I'm at liberty to say)

I wouldn't be in the seminary if I could be with you

oh shit Makaya McCraven playing here in May in a week when I'm already seeing Florry, Friendship, and possibly Paul Simon

guessing that this is a different C2C than the one we get here

if you’re arguing about the revolutionary politics of one battle after another i need you to drop that podcast mic and hop a flight to Minneapolis right now

new Kim Gordon album incoming, that's a hell yeah from me brother
