In college a friend played a vocals only version of Pet Sounds for a group of us. We just stood there in his room listening silently. One of those moments when music just completely blew my mind.
I spent months in my car driving singing along, trying to comprehend harmony.

26.04.2025 14:57 — 👍 16 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Lots of great stuff at the LA Times Book Festival this weekend, including this great panel with @loubeard.bsky.social. The festival is a great place to support independent presses like Tiger Van Books. Make a day of it, drink some wine, descend into Dionysian mayhem, acquire a tote bag...
24.04.2025 19:14 — 👍 15 🔁 2 💬 1 📌 1This memoir is so timely, heartbreaking, hilarious, inventive, kaleidoscopic, and instantly canonical as a vision of Hollywood...I don't know how @specktor.bsky.social pulled it off, but very glad he did. The man knows of what he speaks. I highly recommend purchasing a copy today. #riverrun

The cover of Lou Mathews’ new novel Hollywoodski, a humorous and melancholic account of a “faded” screenwriter’s career in Hollywood.
Best book of the year so far is @loubeard.bsky.social’s Hollywoodski, a novel in short stories about the life of Dale Davis, a “faded” screenwriter working on the margins of Tinseltown. It’s lovely and elegiac and hits so many details about its demimonde just right. Fantastic, funny and brilliant.

PSA for Lodge 49 fans (currently streaming for free on ITVX). The great Sonya Cassidy (Liz Dudley) is in Season 3 of Reacher.
If you've never seen Lodge 49 or don't know why Sonya Cassidy and/or Liz Dudley are so great, here is a video that a fan (not me) has made for you
