I wrote this blog post in the middle of the night when I had some thoughts about physical media. I reminisced about my childhood and how everything used to be an experience. Meanwhile in Japan, things truly felt like experiences. Why? crazyonclassicrock.com/2026/01/12/w...

Russ Meyer films are spiritually Venezuelan. I will not elaborate.

If I had to pick a favourite compliment I've received on my writing, it has to be thanks to you, I've learnt something new or I got into this musician. That's my goal as a writer, I want people to read my work and take away something new they've learnt or found out about.

Two ways to see "Nothing I do matters" Negative way 😭: Nothing I do matters, why bother? Positive way 😃: Nothing I do matters, so why not make a dumb joke? Why not make an esoteric meme? Why not make the most chaotic YouTube Poop? Why not wear the extra-ass outfit?

Getting a job shouldn't be harder than getting into an Ivy League school, but I guess in 2025 anything's possible.

I found these amazing bell bottoms on vinted but since they're from the 2000s they're going to be so straight up and down shaped. Like the waist of the trousers is a good bit larger than mine, but then the hips are so narrow! No joke, I can only wear trousers from like one brand.

Real 90s kids remember

My most controversial opinion is I'd pick living in the 60s over living in the present day, yes even though I'm mixed and bisexual, I don't feel like today is really all that much better. Back in the 60s there was more of a sense of community and solidarity.
