i am in new york this weekend and have eaten a bacon egg and cheese, an enormous bodega sandwich (turkey + salami + fixins), and chicken over rice from halal cart

just had a good idea in the shower. a little cliché but whatever

in the 1990s and early 2000s, my parents trained me to conduct business well on the phone. a skill that is almost entirely under-utilized, now that no one i call picks up because every business is done by fuckin CHAT BOT

If bro doesn’t hoist up the john b sail right now I’m gonna flip the fuck out

MEMORY UNLOCKED: fiddling with my dad’s velour (?) vinyl record cleaning brush as a child. it was sooo soft!

the frankie cosmos song that goes “it’s sunday night / and my friends are friends with my friends”……..i love it so much

the poetic assonance of “michael stipe”

Rosalía’s voice is unspeakably beautiful! listening to it feels like staring at an eclipse!

have seen two uses of alt-J in social media videos in the past week. wondering if we’re having an alt-Jenaissance

have taken to greeting my baby when she wakes up from naps by saying HELLO HELLO HELLOOO like rupaul entering the werk room

the four most beautiful words in the english language: COST PLUS WORLD MARKET

Recognizable needle drops in new movies, of songs that are already extremely associated with another piece of media, is a pet peeve of mine (eg the song from Russian doll in weapons)

watched first episode of ‘I Love L.A.’ - kinda underwhelmed by the music supervision, borderline irritated. the randy newman needle drop occurs when two women are stoned and traipsing through Erewhon. you don’t even see what they buy

lot of country songs about whiskey, but are there any country songs about peanut butter whiskey?

re: the linguistic meme of 6 7—i attended high school many years ago. all through my junior year, which was the 2006-2007 academic year, i'd walk into school each morning with my two younger sisters and say "OH SIX OH SEVEN!" it felt really good to say. i understand how 6 7 has caught on

peace and love to all the spooky movie people out there, but this frightened individual is ready for october to be over, and very much ready for november-mood movies such as BRADLEY COOPER'S MAESTRO (2023)

is there anything more wonderful than the distant FLUMPH of a cat in another room who has just jumped from a high height to the ground

i love when song lyrics include references to people — ideally just their first names — and you don’t know who they are, but you know they must be important to the singer somehow

he only wanted me for my data-driven solutions :(

the thong song is a miracle. heaven is a place on earth when the thong song plays

me outside of the Taylor Swift Experience, South Street Seaport, NYC, winter 2017. i did not go inside. the price of admission was a now-quaint $9

someone emailed me offering a sponsorship opp for my instagram. i’d get a free jar of tahini. strongly considering this

but who will be the brave band to blend indie sleaze, cloud rock and jangle pop into one Disturbing New Sound

was listening to Turn On The Bright Lights and realized i never considered what’s actually on the cover. in my head it was an abstraction of Snoopy’s house during the holidays

when i go to the book club, i want to read those book club classics

we are reaching an interesting point in pop where the two types of guys you can be are "spiritual child" (Alex Warren) or "spiritual child of Matty Healy" (Sombr)

the english professor who taught me the difference between i.e. and e.g. is going to heaven

thinking of becoming an audiophile

i will never forget when i saw red hot chili peppers in a stadium (arcadium) and walking through the parking lot, i passed a couple guys tailgating in a truck with a 6 pack of beer and one of those round plastic rings of shrimp cocktail

the lady who gave me my covid booster told me to “think about my hobbies” to distract me from the shot. didn’t have the heart to tell her i love a good shot!! but i thought about blogging

felt strongly, and had to get this off my chest www.ienjoymusic.net/you-are-goin...

everybody wants to be joan didion, no one wants to deliver taut paragraphs of bone-dry self-reflection linked seamlessly to the larger cultural moment by the use of parallel structure
