The new David Byrne album is brimming with magic. I can't wait to see these songs live.

This is a real fun time at the movies. I will go see as many of these movies as Odenkirk feels like making.

It is astonishing how many podcast hosts can’t pronounce important names around the thing they are talking about. I make an effort to get this stuff right but honestly it takes very minimal effort in this day and age.

Hey everybody I am hosting a fun night of comedy and music next month, it happens in Los Angeles & no one who is paying me has cut off anyone’s head* if that is a dealbreaker Sunday September 21st 7pm Pacific Lodge Room: bit.ly/vtopeslr92125 Livestream: bit.ly/vstream92125

I love how pre the current film so many people were all “Superman… gee it’s just impossible to make that character interesting or compelling”, as if he hasn’t been in continual publication over multiple titles for almost 90 years. Pretty sure some folks had solved that one.

I don't get the point of asking people questions you know 1000% what the answer is going to be ahead of time in interviews. Why the hell would David Byrne want to do a Talking Heads reunion tour? Does he have to get it written on a t-shirt and start wearing that to press?

My first time in Alabama! 🤩 Such a fun trip to Muscle Shoals to play a songwriters’ showcase at WC Handy Fest alongside these legends Sinead Burgess, Blake O’Connor, Melanie Dyer and @jeremydylan.bsky.social. Got to town early to see the phenomenal FAME Studios — so much history in those walls. ✨

Seeing this argument a lot less but I like the topic, so I'll mosey on in... "Superhero movies are today's westerns." No. 1. Westerns were never tied to a small handful of copyrighted and trademarked properties 2. Westerns are wildly versatile and can be made for a fortune or a shoestring

Who else is Vince-ing this Thursday at the Ryman?

I would very much like Fantastic Four production designer Kasra Farahani to come redecorate my house.

The NYT has produced a handy list of literally the last things I want to do

Superman Twonks

“Superman is too woke!” Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

It’s so funny how much of my life was spent seeing message boards and Wizard Magazine fancasting Fillion as Hal and he ends up playing Guy

Loved Gunn’s approach to the Clark/Superman character. Dialing up the personality instead of equating goodness with blandness was the key. My only quibble - Clark Kent is absolutely a country music fan not a pop punk dude. His bedroom should’ve been Brooks & Dunn and Chris Stapleton posters.

Randomly flipped through my copy of Kingdom Come and happened to come across this page. Weird how timely a story from 30 years ago is.

Resign and resign being spelled the same but meaning the exact opposite must be a huge asspain for music journalists.

GoFundMe has set up a page for the Texan flood victims. Each campaign has been verified by the company's Trust & Safety experts, which means you know your money is going directly to families. Please consider donating if you can. Their stories are heartbreaking. www.gofundme.com/c/act/flood-...

Some great news to wake up to, an album I produced ‘Choking on Fuel’ debuting on the Australian ARIA Country Chart at #20 Thanks to everyone who’s been listening to and buying this record, so proud of Imogen and of this album.

I woke up today to the news that we have debuted in the Top 20 of the Australian ARIA Country Chart! To be honest, as an independent artist, I didn’t even bother checking the chart until somebody sent it to me. :’) I’m so incredibly proud and grateful for how this record has been embraced. 😭🩵🇦🇺

There’s nothing less cinematic than insert shots of iPhone screens. No wonder everyone wants to make period pieces these days.

My annual gatecrashing of the pod is here, joining @chrishewitt.bsky.social @jamescdyer.bsky.social and Sophie Butcher. Talking Brian Eno, James Bond, shark repellent bat spray and more. Everyone should go to a cinema and see M3GAN 2.0 now!

Last time they had to recast Bond there were so many great candidates that I would’ve been happy with at least five of them (Craig, Owen, Isaacs, Jackman, Elba and I’m probably forgetting people). This time it’s a struggle to think of people who really fit. Suave is generally in short supply.

Beatles Soundboard recording from June 25th, 1966 has "dropped". Enjoy!

Finished Susan Morrison's incredible Lorne Michaels bio yesterday. That man is never retiring.

I had the increasingly rare pleasure of seeing Buddy Miller play and sing some songs last night and it really brought home what makes him such a genius - impeccable taste. It's not what he can play or how he can sing, it's just unerring perfect choices about what to play when and when not to play.

I'm not a big 'the song we need right now' kind of person, but boy I wanted to feel the things I felt listening/watching this new David Byrne single. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM-B...

My new album Choking on Fuel is OUT NOW 🥲 ffm.to/chokingonfuel Thank you to everyone who helped bring it to life. I’m so proud of this record and the incredible musicians who feature on it. Go check out this new music video @jeremydylan.bsky.social and I made in Colorado! youtu.be/yRHkVVRZjWs?...

Blueprints? No we were just friends.

Watching The Taking Of Pelham 1-2-3 which I haven’t seen since I was like 8 and it was on local tv. This guy has been addressed as “kid” by his boss multiple times.

I find it hilarious that anybody in 2025 is surprised that the very famous rock star who campaigned very publicly for John Kerry, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris is not a Republican. This goes beyond 'didn't listen to the verse lyrics in Born in the USA'.

This bill is trash. Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Henry Cuellar and Vincente Gonzalez are all against it, if you had a half-dozen more Blue Dogs it would be dead and that would be a progressive win. www.slowboring.com/p/eleven-tho...

Time for someone to sign Goggins up as Jessup in a Broadway revival of A FEW GOOD MEN.

The extraordinary biography Gandolfini by @jasondashbailey.com has been getting extraordinary reviews — deservedly so. A compassionate, perceptive portrait of a gifted man. We carry it signed by the author! mzs.press/SIGNED-Gando...

Denver may be the quietest city I’ve ever visited.

Heading to Denver and Red Rocks this weekend for Jason Isbell and Molly Tuttle, would love any recommendations for food/coffee/bars/etc

Ok. So. It's pub day. My book GANDOLFINI: JIM, TONY, AND THE LIFE OF A LEGEND is out today. And as I'm sure you've heard from other authors, first week sales really do matter so much! So I'm gonna sell a bit. www.abramsbooks.com/product/gand...

Happy birthday to Buster Sidebury. I hope you all sent off your stamped undressed elephants today.

Jeremy is an intelligent, thoughtful and affable interviewer who allows the chat to flow and gives @stevenc63.bsky.social space to let his expertise shine. Really interesting - and, like the album, this is a comforting and warm listen. Thank you, both. #TeamGeorge #GeorgeHarrison

I was so in the mood for this. A bang on chat on my favourite solo Beatles album. An album I think of as epically intimate. I'll now be listening to LITMW for the foreseeable...

This was such a fun thing to do; Jeremy is such a great host. And it led to both of us going to see Ringo at the Grand Old Opry.

A massively entertaining exploration of an outstanding album. So many fascinating insights and observations. A fantastic listen!

Brilliant! My favourite George expert on my favourite George album.

Get out your double drums and fire up the Ferrari because it's time to talk 'Living in the Material World' with @stevenc63.bsky.social on @myfavoritealbumpod.bsky.social jeremydylan.net/podcast/eg7b... We go deep on all things George + Keltner, Ringo, Nicky Hopkins and more

This applies to other arts as well. There was a version of a very famous, oft-filmed story released recently where the director bragged he intentionally avoided seeing all other versions and it was like, yeah, sweetheart, we know. We know.

Finally it comes the time to saddle back up and announce that @myfavoritealbumpod.bsky.social returns this Wednesday, with the venerable @stevenc63.bsky.social joining me for a fabs-adjacent deep dive.

Okay, I think we need a silent film refresher because my replies have been weird: 1. Censorship was not okay and was used to protect institutional power under the guise of "save the children" 2. Heroines were considerably tougher than their sound counterparts, regularly partaking in the action.

This is important. Food banks can bulk buy, and stretch that money further than you can. They also know what they actually need. Money is better!
