We are daughters of the chimichangas you could not burn (vegan option)

Thrift store find of the year, from 1994’s Virginia Slims tennis championship, autographed by Martina in her last singles tournament appearance until her comeback.

Likely a dream job for many of my followers...

In Three Days of the Condor he wears a collared shirt & tie with a crew neck sweater, something that is seemingly impossible to pull off. Where do you even get such a sweater? Hand made?

It's been awhile since I've heard stereo separation so purposeful and gorgeous. I love this.

Ham Limit.

No lies detected.

Some songs, like this one, create whole worlds you want to live inside. It's the soundtrack for traveling back to a home that doesn't remember you anymore. open.spotify.com/album/1ui8Zf...

Everyone remembers Zappa and Dee Snyder, but we often forget that John Denver confronted the PRMC too. In 2025 his testimony to Al Gore still applies, but feels like its from entirely different planet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgSj...

A writhing, wrenching, sweaty, heartbreaking song of the summer? Geese's ratio of anxiety to the sublime is golden. Press it to a 7" so I can buy it: open.spotify.com/track/7r9BUO...

Joining the chorus of folks says Disc 2 (Streets of Philadelphia Sessions) of Tracks II is instant essential Springsteen. I honestly can't believe how good it is.

Fuzzy Haskins, Badly Drawn Boy, Red House Painters… the Gap was in an arms race with VW for best ad song, and we were better off for it.

A guy in front of me at the Denver airport tried to go through security with actual spurs on his boots.

As a dude, if you can't spot the Samantha in your friend group, you gotta take it upon yourself to become one.

Ben Stiller sat next to me at Fred 62 and asked if the pop tarts were any good.

I don’t want anything to do with Nathan Fielder and his whole deal, zero interest goodbye have fun everybody

Saw an early bird get a worm today.

Before / After

There is a man in the locker room, wearing clothes, with his pants around his ankles, bent over under the hand dryer so it’s blowing down his ass, and he is ON SPEAKER PHONE with his buddy talking about the dead pope.

INXS truly innovated on the sleaze of the Stones as opposed to overtly ripping them off. Good band!

This is the kind of innovation we need to be funding.

Eephus, featuring Spaceman Lee floating in like a ghost to get his three outs, totally floored me. I could crush beers in the grass with these sentimental New England dirtbags all day.

This will be 20 years old next year making it probably my oldest shirt from a show I attended.

Let's bury our heads in the sand and listen to the new HLLLYH open.spotify.com/track/6lMsl1...

Tom Hardy’s hairline/part combo in Mobland was previously unknown to man or beast.

If you told me 14 years ago that this guy would have an oscar one day, I would've been stoked. open.spotify.com/track/0wV09T...

I saved up a bunch of proof-of-purchase from these and mailed them in for a set of 5 gold cars. I was disappointed that they didn't come in a package; they were just loose in a cardboard box. This presentation is way better.

Man, even the bongos are horny on this one. Is anyone making desperately horny music in 2025? Honest question... open.spotify.com/track/2y3X1G...

It's 65 and sunny so its obviously time for some city pop. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA3h...

Levitating to the '70s pop stomp of these Montrealers and dreaming of city sidewalks in spring. open.spotify.com/track/3YvILU...

rewatched Twin Peaks the Return earlier this year and the humanism on display helped and healed me in ways I can't describe. A true beacon of light in a dark, dark world.

Cheating slightly, but 99 Stories of God by Joy Williams hit me like a mack truck the first time I read it.

My dad was a pediatrician. His funeral was one of the largest Laconia had ever seen, with four generations of patients in attendance. If that's not rich I don't know what is.

No success I achieve will ever compare to my cousin who just bought a vacation home in The Weirs. She's won the family for generations.

A list of songs from 2024 I liked. Some faves, if you will, not in any order. A through-line might be brief isolated moments of cathartic beauty, because, as a lapsed catholic, I can't commune with the sublime for too long unless I'm actively dying. open.spotify.com/playlist/6hI...
