Hello(?)

Stephen Sondheim in 1986:

Help! I can’t listen to anything else music.apple.com/us/album/fla...

That descending vocal melody feels so good every damn time. music.apple.com/us/album/haz...

The only time I ever ralphed from drinking was after ~10 shots of fireball at a frat pregame freshman year. I blacked out, inhaled a Qdoba burrito at 3am, and ruined my Sperrys from my lofted dorm bed. Never again!

Been on a big Oneohtrix Point Never kick this week. Man, Lopatin isn’t just on another level, he’s in orbit above the rest. music.apple.com/us/album/aga...

Today’s commute album. An old favorite to shake me up and turn me around. music.apple.com/us/album/r-p...

don’t know how to write my thoughts on Emilia Pérez. a website won’t do I need an illuminated manuscript

We need to stop allowing the French to get away with this

ACT UP, 1990

I’ve got what’s probably the most important interview of my career so far scheduled the same week as my birthday, my anniversary, and Valentine’s Day. 😮‍💨

2001: A Space Odyssey, Phantom Thread, Marie Antoinette, In the Mood for Love, Akira

Oh fuck I’m crying at the Beatles again

It’s been a tough day, but here’s a reminder that reaching out to a friend for a chat really can be a small miracle. And if you’re able, find a way to be useful to your community. Love and service are the best answers I’ve found to combat the dread. Still rarely feels enough, but it sure helps. xoxo

The only release I listened to last year that felt truly new: music.apple.com/us/album/d-s...

Uh oh, I’m stuck on Chris Bell again! youtu.be/m-yvdIHOdxw?...

I uh, can’t share those here

I can’t see the Timmy Dylan film because my sophomore year roommate played so. much. Dylan and The Band I developed a Pavlovian anger towards the sound of either.

Don’t listen to the memes, if you’re starting the gym on January 1 I am excited for you and happy to see you in the gym!

This is the energy I’m bringing into the new year. Cheers, y’all. music.apple.com/us/album/the...

It’s been a while, so here you go!

It’s a Christmas Miracle!

New Mrs. Crocombe video let’s goooo!!! youtu.be/9qjIsw2D4zc?...

A nerdy, sporty Irish bear. It’s like he was tailor-made for a certain oomfie…

Wonderful that we pushed STEM so hard that now we have an entire generation of soulless, celibate nerds foaming at the mouth for fascism.

secret penis!

I guess it’s technically possible to watch It’s a Wonderful Life without ending in a pile of tears, but that’s an experience I’ll never know.

The face of a dum boy who’s at the airport on four hours of sleep because he threw what was meant to be a gentle cocktail hour from 4-8 but which turned into a tequila fueled mess that almost ended in a fist fight, vomit on his couch, and an inability to look at a coworker the same afterwards…

Just had an Uber driver who, unsolicited, spent the whole ride telling me why Luigi Mangione is innocent. Then, at the end of the ride, he goes, “Oh, and aliens are real, they walk among us and they’ve been here for years.” I said I’d love to meet one someday and got out. God, I love this city!

You ever wish you could be a tectonic plate experiencing subduction? Like damn I bet that feels good for the plates.

I’ve been listening to nothing but Diarrhea Planet all week, and I show no signs of stopping. I think, somehow, I love them even more than I did in college. This is sort of a perfect record start to finish. music.apple.com/us/album/fie...

Ok tbf: “Why would you ignore me? Don’t talk to me Please talk to me” is a great bit and very accurate 🥴

I am once again! begging for a Broadway revival of Assassins! I mean, come ON!

John Wilkes Anime-Con-Booth

First printmaking lesson complete! And thankfully no ink on my favorite shirt, which I wore because I forgot we were doing this today.

Misty eyed on the C train 😮‍💨 music.apple.com/us/album/kid...

“Socrates died in the fuckinnng gutter!” *sick ass guitar solo* music.apple.com/us/album/mas...

He’s THAT hot and he has weird fascist “retvrn” views about Japan? Close enough, welcome back Yukio Mishima!

Suddenly craving an Italian sub…

Finally checking out Four Tet’s latest, and damn, it’s already making me tear up. I’m also tired and just had coffee for the first time in months, so who knows what’s to blame. But what a beautiful soul he is!

People rag on Wings, but I think to fully appreciate them, you gotta be like 1970s Paul: mid 30s, deeply in love, rather stoned. music.apple.com/us/album/sil...

Still shocked Conclave (2024) kept this line in the original Latin.

Evil Daniel Johnston:

Happy Sunday, sexual deviants 😌

The only thing more embarrassing than hosting a edgy social commentary podcast is listening to one. I would rather die.

Ughhhhh I was so close to getting to the final ante. Also wow I think I get the appeal of rogue like games now, this is so addicting. 😮‍💨

How about you return to hell whence you came!

I will not be posting c on this f but please know that it is rather f.
