In last night's dream I was staying at a Japanese hotel by a river, and I wandered into downtown and got lost, finding myself in the middle of a huge demonstration where giant Disney characters dressed in riot gear with shields did a choreographed dance

1970s America is the right time to own a Jeep. Any other decade, prolly not

Last night I watched "Casino", and fuck it's a GREAT Scorsese picture, but it leads to the inevitable need to watch the movie that'll be on his tombstone: "Goodfellas". Which scares the shit out of me. Oh well...better do it. It's time for "Layla" and a guy hanging by a hook in a freezer. #MyWay

Stay tuned for Star Cribs

"For over a thousand generations the Jedi were guardians of peace and justice in the old Republic" - the status quo for about the first ten minutes of the first film, then never again

A title image reads “So Youve Just Been Laid Off a post-corporate message from @katewelchhhh”

“One year ago, I was laid off from my corporate gaming job. For the first time in my 15-year career, I was unemployed without a next secure, salaried job on the horizon. I am either exceptionally lucky or talented, but it doesn't matter which it is - both no longer seem applicable.”

I just saw this instagram post from the incredibly talented and breathtakingly hilarious Kate Welch, who was laid off around a year ago, and I wanted to share it here. It’s an important message, and you deserve to read it:

As a bicyclist I feel a car is too close to me in traffic if I can tell what brand she's smoking, because she just asked me to help dig it out of her purse

It will grant you any wish, as long as you wish for a CD of Moby's "Play" with PROMO ONLY stamped on it

Did you know that if you play the first albums by Gomez, Travis, Starsailor, and Coldplay all at the same time, then say your KCRW member number out loud, Nic Harcourt will appear before you and present you with an Enchanted Tote Bag

László Moholy-Nagy "25 bankruptcy vultures" (1922)

Anyone aware of any surviving audio/video of '90s NYC comedy troupe The Poster Boys (Paul Parducci, Russ Reiley, Jim Giordano)? Mark Newgarden name-checks them as an influence in his book "We All Die Alone". I can't let a comedy group exist without at least being able to dip a toe into their stuff

I'd like to ask Eric Idle if he knows if any episodes of that apparently great, shambolic, zero-budget early 1970s BBC comedy series "Up Sunday" have survived, but I'm not on Xwitter and I'm not going back, so that's the end of that

Oh now this really is the last straw

Authorship under automation - The Wire In the first essay of a short series exploring Bandcamp’s ban on AI-generated music, Vicki Bennett argues that the platform’s decision rests on the belief in a stable binary between computer and human...

"Authorship gets tethered to human legibility until technology breaks the tether." Our Vicki "People Like Us" Bennett has some very useful thoughts on authorship in the face of Bandcamps's recent AI ban:

I can't tell you without crying how important it was for me to get just one thing accomplished today by identifying the font on the back of the #FiresignTheatre LP "Everything You Know Is Wrong". There are a lot of font-identifying engines online. None of them could identify it. But I did.

With this snow storm coming, I should probably top off the dog's neck cask.

I want those dumplings, but even more, I want that car, one where the wheels on the rear axle are two tires with a 1/3 horizontal overlap causing the car to bounce like a pogo before tearing itself to bits.
