How strange it is to be anything at all. -Jeff Mangum

I perpetually suffer from in bed too late and awake too early.

Had the pleasure of seeing them play on a bill at the Agora in 1982. The opener was Jason and the Nashville Scorchers. Then the dB's, then REM. Amazing night.

The dB’s recorded a trio of damaged guitar-pop albums in the early eighties adjacent to lifelong buddies R.E.M.’s: intelligible in the sense that listeners could hear the lyrics; inscrutable if not impregnable as repositories of meaning. humanizingthevacuum.wordpress.com/2021/02/19/i...

When I was growing up I wanted to be a superhero. Now I'm an ex man. Live your dreams.

This was just in my memories. He was just hanging in my car port one day.

Talk to your friends. I got an idea for a novel that way.

And a switchblade

please buy so many physical copies of the album so we can tour with strings & with Carolyn & Jamie and also Nicole who sat in in LA because that would be such an utterly killer tour youtu.be/pv53gRqjvxY?...

As a music obsessive I also follow comedians like I follow bands. Big time comedy nerd. In the nineties you had the state, almost live, Ben stiller show, kids in the hall, exit 57, etc and every channel had a comedy showcase.

J.D. Vance was meant to be a guy you see for 3 seconds on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives as he goes "oh yeah, so good" with his dumb BBQ sauce-covered face. But instead he's the Vice President, explaining how you can be for a pure nation while having an Indian wife, because "one less wife for them"

You know you're getting older when you wake up and you're old.

The novel has a working title of Convenience Store Factotum.

Marco Rubio just straight up looks like a sad divorced man at a Motel 6.

It's true.

Hate to be that guy right now. Hate. But I need a new washing machine. I have $200 left from your help last week, but I also had bills. I need $300 for the machine to do Ma's laundry. She's bedbound, and she deserves clean sheets and clothes whenever we can manage them. If you can help:

Well ABC NBC CBS bullshit They give us fact or fiction I guess an even split And each new act of war's tonight's entertainment We're still the pawns in their game As they take eye for an eye Until no one can see We must stumble blindly forward Repeating history -conor oberst, 2002

It's also a dick move to dog pile someone in the comments for simply misreading the initial post. Some people have perception delay and other processing issues so congratulations on being ableist.

Why doesn't Bandcamp have ads?? I listened to six songs and still don't know jack shit about Buffalo Wild Wings or ICE

Just because someone's phobia doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean it doesn't make sense to them.

I think my biggest problem is I give up on myself too easily. I'd do something about it but, let's face it, I'd probably fail. *this is a joke, gang*

One time I submitted a story to a horror Magazine and the editor writes back to call me a hack writer and that if I wanted to see how it was done I needed to buy her book about writing. I was so crushed I never submitted fiction ever again. Now I'm just angry.

I once had the pleasure of chatting with Dourif at a horror con. He'd been signing a parade of Chucky dolls, so I asked him about working on "Wise Blood" with John Huston. To my surprise, he began quoting some dialog to me. (1/2)

"But it's been 20 years" I exclaimed (immediately regretting it, because I thought he'd take it as a comment that he was old). But he knew how I meant it. "It's Flannery O'Connor," he said. "You don't forget it." (2/2)

There should be a constitutional mechanism for removing a president. Not impeachment, something that actually works, maybe like a catapult

lo, Saturnalia! may these dark days be full of warmth and light, dance the night away my friends ✨

Album of the year by the good life is a low-key masterpiece of heartache.

Guilt trips too! Yay.
