a screenshot from the 2024 david cronenberg film "the shrouds", with the main character karsh (player by vincent kassel) standing at the right edge of the screen standing shirtless wearing one of the large black leather titular shrouds. at the left side of the screen, is a cgi blonde woman on a computer screen.

men would rather do this than go to therapy.

have they brought back fanlistings yet?

gf and i finally started watching the righteous gemstones (it's really freaking good!)

me (guy who spent the last year and a half finally watching the sopranos and is also an idiot): "hmm, getting big sopranos vibes from this."

album cover for the flying burrito brothers' 1969 album "the gilded palace of sin"—the four members of the flying burrito brothers are standing (with one member sitting) in a brush and debris-filled desert with a small wooden shack in the background labeled "the gilded palace of sin*, with two women standing in it.

the absolute definition of "firing on all cylinders".

here to inform you that i am back on my bullshit.

album cover for save the day's 2003 album "in reverie"—depicting an orange humanoid/primate-like creature against a light blue background, with a tan face holding a dead tan bird. the bird has its stomach cut open, and black tentacle-like shapes and colorful butterflies are coming out of it. a live tan bird is perched on the orange creature's shoulder. the lower part of the orange creature is obscured by tan and black shapes in the lower right side of the cover.

this sounds like it fell straight out of 2001, and i love everything about it.

i love the who, but i feel like the line, "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" did such irreparable damage to boomer's brains that they've never been able to imagine things could be better.

as someone who is not a musician, it's a very strange feeling to have a song you sang on 15 years ago stuck in your head.

the chinese movie poster for the 2023 film "only the river flows". the upper half of the poster is the face of the main character blowing smoke that obscures the lower right portion of his face. he looks down upon three sets of two people. the ones two the left are a man in a tracksuit attacking a young boy. the ones in the middle are a man in a peacoat attacking an old woman. the ones to the right are a woman in a pink cardigan and a black skirt dancing with a woman in a long red dress with a wavy hairstyle. in the middle of the poster is the title in chinese, with the title smaller in english below it.

everything about this movie was immaculate. from the story, to the aesthetic, to the vibes. it gripped me immediately, and i couldn't wait to see where it went.

between the weezer sample, the bono feature, and the lin-manuel collab, carter 6 feels like it's specifically designed to appeal to my cringey ass.

just almost unironically typed "winder" instead of "window".

album cover for wild pink's 2024 album "dulling the horns"—a painting of a cloud-filled blue sky with a smaller square painting in the center of a woman leaning out the driver side window with her eyes closed and brown hair blowing in the wind.

it's always kind of wild to listen to an album that absolutely would have rocketed to the top of your year-end list had you listened to it that year.

album cover for goose's 2025 album "everything must go"—a "where's waldo" by way of r. crumb drawing filled to the brim with people, animals, and fantastic creatures interacting with themselves, each other, and various objects on a sandy desert background.

so this album's really something special, huh?

a zoomed-in picture of a belt on a black leather clad body (kamen rider g). the belt is a wine opener with a bottle in it with a large red "g" on it.

a photo of kamen rider g from the shoulders up. he has black shoulders with a small silver and large red pair of triangle shapes on his chest. his helmet has a sliver face plate with large translucent yellow bug like eyes with sharp red g's around them and a pair of silver antenna.

kamen rider g standing in front of a large building with the shape of his "g" logo blown out of it from an explosion. he is standing in the lower right corner holding his red and silver sword (it's shaped like an exacto blade).

one time they made a whole ass kamen rider based around wine, and it was so fuckin' cool.

i need to watch more nic cage movies

the cover art for yo la tengo's 1993 album "painful"—a long stretch of highway at night, broken up by neon lights from buildings and a passing car.

just a really perfect album to listen to while the sun comes up.

this is a national holiday for me

a scene from the simpsons episode "itchy and scratchy land" where bart shoots a smoke bomb from his slingshot into the open mouth of an itchy costume.

right? although, "doing the basic/obvious thing" does seem to be something google/youtube is very good at not doing. i have heard other creators i follow talk about how there's a setting or something that serves vids less to subs in exchange for serving them to non-subs (don't quote me though).

and hey, easier said than done, but do what you like! i've been watching your stuff for like 20 years, so i figure there's a pretty good chance i'm gonna keep watching no matter what, haha.

not sure how universal this is, but in the last month or so, i noticed your new vids weren't getting pushed to me, so i'd actually have to go to your page to see them. the tone of the first "relaxing" vid threw me for a sec, but i'm watching it for you takes, not your cadence.

imagining a guy with the bio "sociopath with a conscience", and getting mad at how annoying he would be.

catching up on some @yourkickstartersucks.com premium eps, and mike and jf's differing recollections of how their lunch with cullen came together is giving rashomon a run for its money. great stuff fellas.

sometimes you hear an album, and you wonder how you could have gone your whole life without it (and from baltimore no less!)

album cover for king gizzard and the lizard wizard's 2024 album "flight b741"—a scale model of a four-tiered wright brothers-style plane made of wood covered in straw and eight pigs against a blue sky.

i wish these 43 minutes and 6 seconds could last forever.

the outside of the restaurant taco depot from catdog. a large taco-shaped building with a green double door. in front is a statue of a taco-shaped man holding a sign that says taco depot.

going here would fix me.

album cover for wilco's 2023 album "cousin"—a huge display of flowers with icicles hanging off of them against a blueish-gray background.

this album sounds exactly like the cover art looks (positive).
