This wine bar isn’t like any other wine bar, because at this wine bar, they’re really into RIESLING. The manager has a tattoo that says RIESLING. They constantly suggest RIESLING. And if you order a seltzer with lemon, they will stare into your soul until you CURL UP AND DIE.

"It looks like you're trying to anthropomorphize me, need some help?"

If I actually still scrobbled on Last.FM from my laptop, I would most certainly by the top listener for "More Than a Feeling" this week.

Still weird lyrically.

Okay "More Than a Feeling" is kinda sorta about the dude's love of his cousin so maybe this is a bit strange.

Boston by Boston on Apple Music Album · 1976 · 8 Songs

I don't know if it's the covid brain fog or not, but did Boston's debut album always rule this hard?

Remembering Jim Henson on what today would have been his 89th birthday.

I'm bi but I also have covid and often late to celebrate things, so happy belated Bisexual Awareness Day. Also Rosh Hashanah.

If you're in need of a little pick-me-up today, just know that you're better at your job than everyone on the Disney PR team.

I started watching NASCAR recently because I'm not-so-secretly a trash person and it kills time between pro wrestling events.

Tho I'm at that weird intersection of public transit lovers who feel reliance on cars is one of the worst things to happen to this country...but I also love NASCAR?

How much matzoh ball soup (gluten free, mind you) is too much when you're sick with Covid?

I'm 2 quarts down and thinking of tapping a third.

Got Covid. Fever. Chills. Sore throat. And the strong desire to lay flat on my stomach while a nearby iPad plays Cheers in sequential order.

What’s the rating on Yuka tho?

LINKNYC ad showing a happy birthday to PM MODI

What a bizarre ad buy to walk out the door and see first thing in the morning in NYC

Just read Universality and it’s quite an amazing comment on our times and how people disseminate messages/agendas and consume very lopsided takes online and in print.

Excellent response from Hasan Piker, who was scheduled to debate Charlie Kirk in two weeks. On his stream he said: “The reverberation of people seeking out vengeance in the aftermath of this violent, abhorrent incident is going to be genuinely worrisome.” Also talked about his own vulnerability

It feels pretty off brand to say this as a recovering music snob — I saw Lightning Bolt in a pool once and didn’t shut up about it for ten years — but Justin Bieber released two really good records this year.

Portion of "The Hunters Return to the Castle" from the Unicorn Tapestries

Found the "ritualistic unicorn murder" room of the Met Cloisters

Still somewhat valid here

C-Squat punk bands should take whatever archival recordings they have and release a live album called Crust Never Sleeps.

Been asked many times why I don’t post often or have a large personal following.

Easy:

-I spend 60 hours/week doing that elsewhere

-I don’t use Meta platforms

-Other than here, I only use platforms starting with L (LinkedIn, Letterboxd, Last.FM)

-I have a blog + newsletter at scottfromny.com

Should have gone to law school after taking the LSAT and become an IP lawyer because those folks are printing money thanks to AI

More bands should take from the Monotonix and Lightning Bolt setup

Happy Yes Day (a federal holiday in the United States)

1/At Gamescom last week, I had one of the worst Multiple Sclerosis flare ups of my life. In just a few hours, my plans for a series of exclusives, interviews and networking opportunities were replaced by the fear that I would not be able to safely get myself home - my brain fog was just *that* bad

I’m not particularly enthusiastic about seeing Caught Stealing. But I am excited by the idea of eating popcorn in a darkened room while others’ views on ‘90s New York City are challenged for an hour and a half.

You know what? I’m gonna chase them even harder now.

And Chris Rock created CB4.
