If, like me, you are back in the rabbit hole of PTA after seeing OBAA, this interview from 2015 is fantastic. Lots of Pynchon talk since he was promoting Inherent Vice. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtf-with-marc-maron-podcast/id329875043?i=1000568890577

I’m aging about 10 years every inning #RingTheBell

Goddamn I needed that Phillies win so bad.

@NatePHedi I have watched most of the first season of Detroiters....I believe it was on your recommendation. It's great! But I tend to only sign up for Netflix for a month at a time to binge a few things so it's been a slow process going through that one.

I think Tim Robinson is hilarious, but it seems like he's gotten a little one-note, right? I didn't make it through Friendship because it felt like a retread of his ITYSL characters, and the trailer for his new HBO series isn't really helping to dispel that feeling.

My daughter has been learning a lot of hard lessons about being a Philly sports fan this week.

Whoa, Goose dropping a Chocolate Town cover

Saw ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER last night. A+++ film. One of PTA's best. See it on the biggest screen you can!

Whatever happens with the government shutdown tonight, please remember that there are people with families being affected by this.

Many people are saying this picture needs to have a dick added in each hand.

Overall, definitely recommend seeing this tour. It's uplifting, fun, and who knows how long we'll get to see DB still seemingly in his prime.

- I might be misremembering, but on the American Utopia tour, I thought the drums were all organic. This show had a lot of triggered drum sounds. It made songs like “And She Was” sound more like the album, but less like the rock ’n roll marching band of AU.
- Very short show (1:45), but I get […]

Cons:
- Crowd was old and lame. Previous Byrne shows I’ve seen started with the crowd sitting, but once a banger was played everyone was on their feet for the rest of the show. Most of this crowd would have fit in at a TTB show, but that didn’t stop the “younger” (read: middle-aged) fans from […]

- The screens used as a backdrop were incredibly high-res (probably 8K?) and created very realistic settings. The highlight was a 360 degree view of DB’s apartment at one point. I don’t always love screens on stage, but this was super effective.
- Very strong political messages throughout the […]

A few thoughts on the show. (Spoilers below)

Pros:
- I mean, it’s David Byrne. It was incredible.
- His voice still sounds exactly like it did in the 70s. Maybe even better.
- Great selection of tunes he hadn’t played in a while. Strange Overtones, Houses in Motion, And She Was, Psycho Killer […]

Well that was fun!

Feeling good. Ticket acquired. Seeing David Byrne tonight!

This new Atmos mix is fantastic!

@NatePHedi I could feel it 🙏

That was not bad at all!

I knew the procedure would be easy because I had an endoscopy a few months ago (got one this time, too…”spit roasted” as they say). Everyone said prep was horrible, but it really wasn’t that bad. Worst part of it was basically staying up all night and then getting to […]

@NatePHedi Thank you?

The much-hyped SIM farm the Secret Service seized uses readily available off the shelf tech that, very interestingly, has also become critical to ticket scalping. I, like others, am extremely not buying the idea that this was intended to take down the cell network […]

Nope, nothing to worry about here. https://wapo.st/4nidndf

Colonoscopy prep day. Pray for my butthole, friends.

Holy tone deaf, Batman!

Just stayed up all night without the aid of caffeine or drugs for the first time ever. Thanks, Insomnia!

I am once again asking you for your not-sketchy sports streaming site recommendation. DMs are open. #fuckblackouts

@chopaganda @ithinkthere4iyem.bsky.social I can't really say...I'm a bit out of the loop on Phish and I've been out of work on medical leave.

Sometimes people just get decision paralysis when they see a bunch of offers and don't know what to do.
