I have a running list of stuff I could easily get from Target (on my way to or from work) but I’ll go out of my to get them at a thrift store—or go without them entirely, because fuck those Trumper shitheads.

Ten movies you love…

The taste of black licorice. Sacking out thinking of the state of vinyl. I gotta be up early, so I’ll keep this short. Tomorrow is Record Store Day, which I’ll faithfully avoid. Today I picked up thirty-year-ish anniversary re…

No argument.

It relied on a few of the albums on this list to be important in its own decade.

I work with a Brian who refers to me as Bryan, but with the Canadian spelling. I’ll take that.

I drank the Kool-Aid decades ago so I’m touchy, but you don’t say anything malicious, and nothing untrue. Even my disagreements feel more like contrarian impulses on my own part rather than misjudgments on yours. These laggard Dylan types either hook you or they don’t. Destroyer kinda hooked you

What if it was Haydn, instead of Mozart… Upon revisiting Milos Forman’s AMADEUS, after forty years since it premiered (and nearly as long since I first saw it) how history got rearranged in his favor. Listening to classical radio, catchin…

Amen.

You are 100% our people.

So nice to discover your work. Keep on.
