It seems like a good day to gather front pages and apply some critical discourse analysis. Agency springs to mind...

Both? But Nirvanna the Band is not an actual band; therefore they could never get a show at the Rivoli.

The Nirvanna-verse is complicated. Part of its charm.

Oscar nominations ballot!

Oscar nominations ballot!

I’ve seen all the major nominees except Hamnet, which we will watch early next week.
I’m really not feeling this year’s slate of movies. Last year, I was obsessed with Flow and cheering on Sean Baker.
Sinners should win everything, but I predict OBAA come out on top.

I’ve considered Matt and Jay for cat names. Levon and Timmy are better fits, but still a thought.

Something I will ALWAYS repost. Pierre Bourdieu and I, in the same introductory paragraph. Clare is the best.

My mom fell and spent a day on the floor unable to get up. (Those β€œI’ve fallen and I can’t get up” ads are much less funny when you have an aging parent.) She’s okay, just bruised up. When my sister found her, she called 911, and the nice EMS lady politely scolded Mom for not wearing her LifeAlert.

Yes! I get really chatty about the diachronic evolution of English. I audited a grad school course on Old English.

Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie is a prequel, sequel, and undeniably unique TV-to-film adaptation In Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie, Nirvanna The Band confronts its past so a new audience doesn't have to.

No, you don't need to have seen the show to get Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie, because it turns TV into film in a uniquely cool way

Glad to see someone else who had the same reaction to Marty Supreme. Mind you, we have a kitten named TimothΓ©e Chalamet. I wanted to love it, but I hated it.

And then followed by Old 97’s (β€œBarrier Reef”) and Whiskeytown. (Yes, I know Ryan Adams is problematic af.)

I am currently at War Mouth (lol, I’m predictable) and Son Volt and Uncle Tupelo were just played back-to-back. No wonder I love this place! :)

'Nirvanna' is like a 'Jackass' movie with time travel. Yes, really. Go behind the scenes of "Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie," which mixes shocking guerrilla stunts with a time-warping buddy comedy.
