This is probably pretty normal, but sometimes I'll skip a song purely because I don't want to face whatever meaning I've put to it. The weird thing is that I keep them in my rotation, just for the rare moment where it will hit hard, but I'm actually ready for it. Maybe if I hit shuffle enough times I can get a sense of how I'm doing... ...Or maybe I just need to get better at removing clutter. 🪖   Sebadoh - Bubble and Scrape (1993)    The Meeting Places - Find Yourself Along the Way (2003)   Pinback - Self-titled ( 1999)

Gosh, wouldn't it be so cool if I got a tattoo? Here's some ideas I've thought about in order of likelihood. 🪖    The old logo for Windham Mountain Placement: Front right thigh     Daniel Johnston's "Fly Eye"   Placement:  Left wrist, hella intimate       A blue jay in flight, or perhaps three of them Placement: Right ribcage       A thin-line cybersigilist piece Not this exactly, but an artist's original. Placement: Left calf     Pretty cool, right?

My brother bought me these jeans for Christmas because I'm a punk, and "punks are supposed to own black jeans". They fit perfect.   Get that soft wash outta here. Get that stretch denim outta here.    Get real. 🪖

I'm not too proud of my cooking skills, but I enjoyed making these two meals. Hmm. Maybe improvement will come naturally!    Baked buffalo chicken with riced veggies & cheese on the side. The veggies are, in fact, ready-made.      Beer-battered hot dogs with steamed broccoli on the side. I threw the buns on a buttered pan for a sec - elite move. Oh, and also, the phone did not eat first this time.   Feedback is welcome, homies. 🪖

Sup y'all. I feel like it's high time I share some albums that I personally enjoy, while trying to put into words why I like them.     Cindy Lee - What's Tonight to Eternity (2020) Starting off, the drag alter-ego of Canadian singer Patrick Flegel never fails to impress me. This album is filled with all of the dreary elegance that reminiscent of dream pop tracks, but settles for a rhythm more reflective of music found on 50s on 5 . Then, suddenly, the white noise underlying the album builds up, and we watch whatever delicate aspects there were left just wither away.        BBYGOYARD & DJ Smokey - Loreseeker (2023) This album is my personal favorite of 2023. If you're in the mood to pheel tha phonk but want something with a charged and motivating progression overall, then give this album a listen. Be warned, though - the producer tags, ad-libs, lyrics, and bookending bits in this album are completely over-the-top.         Marillion - ...

 I watched a lot of movies this past week. A good number of them were Mob-related. Here are some thoughts:   Belly (1998)    I like all of the blue washes they used in this film. The whole thing feels like you're stuck in a trance, with the main characters Tommy (DMX) and Sincere (Nas) having their own idea for how to escape it .       Scarface (1983)  I feel like it's too iconic to argue against this movie. I saw a Tony Montana decal plastered on the side of some guy's Dodge Challenger the other day with "The World is Yours" pasted below it. Giorgio Moroder did the score.    The Godfather Part II (1974)   Two Al Pacino movies in a row. This was precisely the moment I realized I was on a kick. Great movie, worth all praise. The still is of Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro) absolutely getting to business.     The Boondock Saints (1999)     People are a little critical of this movie due to the fact that it's literall...
