At least now I know what she’s been doing since “Paper Planes”

I am surprised by how much I want to see Clayface after watching the trailer

It’s ridiculous how hard Prince’s Batman soundtrack goes

It’s dawning on me that I may never achieve my childhood dream of becoming friends with Robert Smith and singing on a Cure record

… whut

I had never watched Nora from Queens before, what a great show

I feel like I hit an emotional growth milestone today; someone posted excitedly about something I hate and I started typing a response to express how much I hate that thing, and then I stopped and asked myself “is this actually how I want to present myself” and I deleted the draft

“Sin” might be my favorite Nine a inch Nails song

They should pair this with switching all of the in-flight snacks to be lentil burritos

Tonight’s startling revelation is that the relative chord progressions of “Wicked Game” by Chris Isaak and “A Daisy Chain 4 Satan” by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult are the same

“Three Imaginary Boys” is such a good song

Watching Detroiters for the nth time and wondering how many other people had a Kangol phase

I don’t know who else is out there making ranked lists of Meat Beat Manifesto songs/moments but I’m curious if anyone else would put the transition from “Hail to the Bopp” into “3 Floors Above You” on Actual Sounds and Voices as high on their list as it is on mine

Currently singing “Viktor Orbán / Where are you going to” to the tune of “Mary, Mary” by The Monkees

Dear aging, I can deal with grey hairs. I can deal with nose hairs. Grey nose hairs, though? You can fuck off with that. Sincerely, DJP

It is wild to me that there’s an entire generation whose only exposure to MTV, if they’re exposed to it at all, is its “the 24/7 Ridiculousness channel” incarnation

this is a different German regional opera company fyi

I have questions about Hamburg State Opera’s upcoming production of Verdi’s Macbeth

The Cure’s S/T album is unfairly reviled. It has SO MANY great jams on it, I just love it. I will fight for hours about this.

I haven’t seen Wicked: For Good yet but I’m assuming that it sets the stage for the extended Wicked Cinematic Universe

I want to have another wedding reception just so I can have the DJ play “The Most Unwanted Song” on a loop

My initial reaction to my first watching Merrily We Roll Along is that Lindsay Mendez is an absolutely stunning performer. My second is that I had no idea Daniel Radcliffe could do that. My third is that I didn’t give Jonathan Groff enough credit for things I’d sent him in previously. Just wow.

Trying to think of the greatest disparity between a band’s name and what they sound like and having a hard time deciding between Prolapse and Destroyer

Hmm, not bad www.maptap.gg April 3 93🏆 97🔥 99🎯 94🏅 88🎉 Final score: 934

I remember being very excited to hear Christian Death for the first time when I saw “Romeo’s Distress” on the tracklist of A Life Less Lived. That excitement didn’t last when the lyrics kicked in; rather it was a reminder of why I avoided trying to join any goth scenes as a teen.

Spent some time reviewing how I’ve been dressing for the past six months or so and am coming to the realization that my primary style marker is “Blue Power Ranger in civilian clothes”

In a veritable cornucopia of choices, I can’t say the Little Buff Boys sketch is the best ITYSL segment but special mention really needs to be given to Sam Richardson’s wig.

I am reading Parable of the Sower and it feels very much like an important philosophical text disguised as a work of fiction

What movie did you watch over and over as a kid?

It is impossible to overstate how much of a jam “Chemical Beats” still is even after 31 years

I watched Weapons for the first time last night. Amy Madigan deserves like seven more Oscars just for that role. And also, the kid who played Alex was GREAT.

I don’t think English has the words to accurately describe how much I adore Everything Everywhere All At Once

Someone is going to build an AI agent with access to all sorts of controls and levers and systems and say “identify what is making all of this go badly” and after multiple rounds of iteration, the agent will go “it’s people, that’s the problem” and I will be so smug about it as it burns us all alive

Reminding myself tonight that Wonky is a great album

Whatever I’m rapping about, it’s gonna to come across as a lecture

Seriously though, is it just my feed or is every other LinkedIn post some riff on “here’s what my child’s explosive diarrhea taught me about generative AI”

I discovered I owned the first Olive album this morning and wondered why I hadn’t listened to it more, so I played it on my commute into work. I now remember why I hadn’t listened to it more. (It’s not _bad_ per se, just something of a bait and switch if you’re expecting 10 “You’re Not Alone”s.)

Very happy that the pizza pace I’m in is including “Torture” by The Cure

I am probably very late to this particular strand of discourse but I would like serious words with the person who categorized If I Had Legs, I‘d Kick You as a comedy on HBO

I never got into Morrissey solo but I did go to a few Smiths shows in the 80s. Last time I saw him they were playing Queen Is Dead and somebody in the front row held up a sign that said No You’re Not and he was furious and left. The band went on to play a few songs instrumental and it was awesome

Give me the powers of an omnipotent being for 24 hours and I promise the only thing I will do is destroy LinkedIn

@profanity.accountant update me

I weighed myself after my colonoscopy and discovered I had lost six pounds It was a weird way to realize that I was full of shit

Hey everybody, Stephon Urquelle says it’s okay for us to shop at Target again

I think my current inconsequential but controversial opinion is “I don’t care about motion smoothing settings on televisions”

Spending my commute listening to the first A Perfect Circle album

It’s astonishing how good Cheers is from the pilot. I also love how much it feels like you’re watching a play in each of these early episodes.

brb, moving to Oregon

One thing that is a constant for me is how much I absolutely adore Let England Shake every time I go back to it

The fascinating thing of the past 8 years has been watching a wide swath of acquaintances who self-described as center-right moderates morph into fervent “abolish ICE/defund the police/billionaires shouldn’t exist” boosters
