"The toneless yell after 'happy,' the reimagination of 'you make me happy when skies are gray': these are the sort of madcap, dastardly moves that make the chaos of Fevers and Mirrors feel smart, intentional, and honest. New newsletter out now. caitlinwolper.substack.com/p/grooving-t...

you don't see husbands realizing they forgot their anniversary and searching for a gift and seeing the necklace their wife wanted in a window for $50 and pulling out an empty wallet and moths flying out and then seeing a poster that says "BOXING MATCH FIRST PRIZE $50" and saying "hmmm" much anymore

"This album crash-landed during COVID. It’s flopping back onto my bed, staring at the ceiling fan. It’s late nights with wine for one, a coaster on my secretary desk. It’s a CBD gummy and a sense of doom." phoebe bridgers x bright eyes week caitlinwolper.substack.com/p/grooving-t...

one thing a tv writer told me very early into writing criticism was that it’s very very very hard to make a bad tv show. which is to say: even very bad tv shows represent so much energy and labor and so many ideas from so many people. criticism needs to know that, but not be distracted by it

this is maybe my favorite tv moment ever i'm unwell youtu.be/9A1MRk-51PY?...

how can i ship donna heyward's entire wardrobe to my house

Julien Baker and Torres embrace their Southern roots for a country collaboration. Their folksy depictions of queer love are charming, but the album’s moments of humor and homage can fall flat

Spring in LA

one of the only records i didn't have!?!?!??! ty stereogum i love u
