Seasoned food 😋The power it has! The cultural significance it has! The flavor it has! The range it has!
I've got a new show about scams with Hesse Deni, Dan Boeckner, and @raaleh.bsky.social. This one with @jim.londoncentric.media is a great place to start. Very fun story about an eccentric mob-connected businessman's tax-avoidance scheme that involves farming snails in vacant office spaces

They need to bring back silent films, so i can make phone calls in the theater without any background noise
One of the best to ever do it
You know in movies where they kinda wipe their hand gently over the face of a dead guy and it closes their eyes. It would be a good gag if they did that on a guy with glasses. Either his eyes close or the glasses turn into sunglasses.
Naaah Guaraldi was dick riding Snoopy for clout

i’ve had this song in my head since we shot this this past summer. an s-tier pop song. it was so fun to learn/play it live.
Just dropped this cover of Alex Nichols' song "Pastoral Scene" on YouTube. It's such tight, well constructed jangle pop. Still a real songwriting accomplishment for him, I think!
