the main reason i bought this book is bc i liked how weirdly it's shaped

if they're gonna run ads on the subway cars then riding the train should be free

people don't talk about Armide (1987) as one of Godard's best movies, but i think you have to consider it just in terms of body mass alone

watching the first half of Mahler (1974): "wow this is so much more normal than Lisztomania" watching the second half of Mahler (1974):

vampire hitlerism aside, the "nietszche" sailor cap Wagner wears in Lisztomania (1975) is very cute

they're doing gay phrenology on me over on twitter

what i really appreciate about pre-code movies is their subtlety

i love when they don't really try

Prince was tapped in on mutant disco www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ5m...

it's time to admit that Prince was right about all these computers and digital gadgets

penn station has cultivated such a strange combo of feeling both completely lawless and also like you're being hyper-surveilled at all times

if you can steal something from out of a museum and get it back into your house without getting caught then i believe that art or artifact should legally belong to you. like, capture the flag rules

the New Left had their own Nurse With Wound list

i like to tell people that i'm going to die in my terrible rent stabilized apartment but i always mean it in a Richard Hell sort of way (after 50+ fulfilling years)

this song sounds so ahead of its time, but the time that it sounds like is early 2010s lo-fi bedroom pop indie www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FAE...

it's very important that i get in my daily walk to the park while it's still technically appropriate for me to be wearing sunglasses

i don't totally know how to explain what's going on with these vocals but you gotta hear it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPA3...

the problem with The Long, Long Trailer (1954) vs. a good episode of I Love Lucy is that it makes Ricky the sympathetic main character and Lucy is way more annoying than he is funny – and it's not like he's not funny. but she has got to stop collecting large rocks and glass jars!

i waited a day to buy a new vape bc i didn't want the guys at the weed store to think i was a causal fan

blaze it

the car crash scene from The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) is so well shot and lit. even beyond the strobing light (but especially because of the strobing light), its gotta be one of the most expressionistic driving scenes i've ever seen from the rear-projected road era

they're playing something that sounds like Spazz with spongebob samples at the punk store on st marks

this is a great double feature bc Two Weeks in Another Town (1962) isn't exactly a sequel or a remake of The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) but it is a weirdly refracted take on the same movie. watching them back-to-back brings out the similarities in a way that makes it way better

an underrated upside to catastrophic global warming is that it's making small talk about the weather WAY better

this sounds like hitting a special trick combo in tony hawk's pro skater 445ceo.bandcamp.com/track/a5-pos...

i'm a big fan of dance music tracks that physically hurt to listen to bfdm.bandcamp.com/track/atoms

i was firmly neutral on the band "geese" before but they have been the only thing twitter has shown me all week so i'm a certified Hater now

zohran better not do anything about the 53 foot trucks on city streets. watching them get stuck at intersections they're not legally supposed to be on is one of my favorite things to watch

i've had this bass line stuck in my head all day www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbLR...

"the Lucille Ball of the Underground"

mini-skirts and masochism/the 'total look'

they should've let Yoko sing more on this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmAG...

"the Streisand effect" describes a phenomenon where, if you can get a popular internet adage named for you, people will forget the original thing you did in favor of the general concept and other more notable examples

Gene Kelly would've been such a good professional wrestler

yeah that's pretty much what they sound like youtu.be/hMcdVHpM5CQ

hanging out with an anarchist friend's anarchist friends is so funny because why am i the only one here who knows your legal first name?

the opening shot of René Clair's Under the Roofs of Paris (1930) feels like seeing the blueprint for all of the best french movies that came after it. Tati, Malle, Demy, Godard, and even americans like Jerry Lewis or Stanley Donen, all feel like they're already in there somewhere

here's what's happening inside your computer every time you render something in ableton

how i'm listening to free jazz

my favorite beach boys songs rn are the ones where they still haven't figured out how to play Good Vibrations live so they just got weird with it

the way he's drumming on this track makes me feel like i'm listening to 90s hardcore dance music www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8xp...

beat beat beat

now this is some extremely cj music about-time-records.bandcamp.com/track/moments

they should redesign keyboards to give the salute emoji its own button

i like these Minutemen songs where they jam with their fourth friend on guitar for a little bit before playing a regular Minutemen song www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBeE...
