This unfortunately just makes me picture a bucket of soup, a list of soups to be served in buckets

Apropos of nothing I think people are overusing the word “material” to sound smartypants when “real” or sometimes “tangible” would do

Today at water aerobics they played smells”Smells Like Teen Spirit,” it was like a joke about aging Gen Xers you’d tell someone to edit out for being too cute, and yet there it was lol

Do you think all the Kryptonian dogs look like Krypto or are there many breeds, like here on earth, except of course super

Just listened to a BBC Newshour interview with a man who wrote a book about the history of movie props. “People in narrative cinema are always doing things, and they have to do things with things,” he said

I know it’s what my mom would call “separates” in re clothing but I either wear t-shirts or a whole ass dress?

Maybe it’s the Gen X half of me talking but I still really don’t know what a “going-out top” is (I read my Strategist newsletters today)

Apropos of nothing, every time I get a letter from the NOLA tax assessor I get “tax assessor” stuck in my head to the tune of Neko Case’s “Fox Confessor”

Oddly thrown off listening to ATC today and hearing Ari Shapiro keep pronouncing “piano” with two syllables

I may have specifically ordered hi res images of huskies in Antarctica from the Byrd Foundation just to make some nice home office wall art

I can’t be the first person to learn about the new Star War called Andor (suspiciously similar to where the Ewoks are from) and then try to make up a song about how it’s Andor with an A, not Endor with an E to the tune of “Liza with a Z”

… or am I

I would buy this if it had just a few more of the lyrics from Up On Cripple Creek (because if the name is really changed it fucks up the scansion of one of my favorite songs)

Cheese is a privilege, not a right, I just told my dog

But on second thought is this actually true? Where is the case law

I’ll be on WWOZ for kitchen sink tonight, ten to midnight central, if appointment listening is your sort of thing. I think it’ll be my favs from second weekend of the fest and maybe some extra piano because it’s WWOZ’s Piano Night, but I can’t make any promises

Additional thought: when the Grammys are happening it’s usually Mardi Gras, and when the Rock Hall inductees are announced it’s usually Jazz Fest. Is this nature’s way of being a New Orleans music history exceptionalist
