Gerrymandering

David Byrne came to my band’s show at a gay bar in Bed-Stuy and sang This Must Be The Place with us and I still haven’t processed it

Perhaps his most brazen of piss-takings. I've been listening to Never Understood on book tape, in which the Brothers Reid endlessly gush about seeing Joy Division open for the Buzzcocks in Glasgow in 1979.

Alternate album cover features a still photograph from the film inside a heart-shaped glass object.

I thought they pressed 1000 copies of Reed Streams, and half went to Sweden or someplace. That was the lore, anyway.

Born on this day - James Fucking Baldwin - listen and reflect.

That's also meant to depict me, face gooped up, watching the disaster

I don't think Christopher Nolan is the guy for a film like this.

I finally got around to seeing "Oppenheimer". What a terrible mess of a movie. Everything was sped up, like the editor was on Ritalin. It was like watching a 2 hour-long trailer for a movie. Weird use of dramatic music for non-dramatic scenes. And a plot that ultimately centers on.. Q clearance?

In about 1997, I found an original copy of Reed Streams at a thrift store for $1. It was in a very heavy plastic sleeve, which I've only just learned was the original cover. At the time, I was more interested in another album I found in the store that day, Drops by Derek Bailey and Andrea Centazzo

I've been listening to this book at the gym. It's narrated by the Brothers Reid, and I do think that's the best way to experience it.

Album cover for Alasdair Roberts' "Spoils" (2009). Features a drawing of an ox head on a pike, and snakes (and snake parts) forming the title of the record.

Yellow album cover features some small, colorful, abstract designs. Kind of an 80s minimal vibe.
