Anyway I hated Jill Lepore from when I first knew her in the late 1990s Cambridge playground days and I was an adjunct at Trinity and she referred to her tenure track position at BU as a “starter job.”

Cambridge people:

But it will get dark so early!

Thanks Aaron. Solidarity from Cambridge.

Its axiomatic that posthumous duets are wack but then there are the exceptions that prove that love (well, sex anyway) is stronger than death. And yes I have just listened to Dorothy Moore disturb ZZ Hill’s eternal rest three times in a row (link in comment)

Tomorrow is the best day of the year.

Sunday is the worst.

Dualism fucking me right up.

I beseeched them.

I pled.

Incentivized.

Cajoled.

But now I must kill those pantry moths dead.

No retreat, baby, no surrender.

Accountability post: you can’t tell but there are drawers full of CDs under the couch too

Judy Clay and William Bell's "Private Number" might be the very sweetest love song.

He's been away (in the military?) and now her number is changed and unlisted. Has her love grown cold? He is miserable!

No! She just couldn't take all the other guys calling her while he was gone! Digits passed!

I’m on it!

Thank you!

any chance you have a gift link? If not I'll figure out how to read it through my library....

Futon in room full of records

First thing I do every morning is make sure there is nothing impeding my access to the nap couch

Hmmmm

Tbh I already did the Gershwin part in my first book

Absolutely.

1-5: Music wasn’t any better when you were younger. You were just younger.

Possibly my most Jewish joke

Thinking about writing a book about Jews in 20th Century American Music and the cover will be photos of the Gershwins and Yo La Tengo and the title will be “From Ira and George to Ira and Georgia.”

My brain: OH MAMA HERE COMES MIDNIGHT WITH THE DEAD MOON IN ITS JAWS
Me: Please I’m so tired

You understand

Whenever doctors talk to me about “sleep hygiene” they always say limit screens, unwind with a book, no caffeine after dinner, meditation and all that but never say a word about not listening to Jason Molina’s “Farewell Transmission” after 9 or so.

Digging the scene...

Yeah exactly

Oh my God. That’s a poem.
