I've been listening to the audiobook version of a book about the Zodiac Killer & the narrator does a classic "dumb guy" deep voice whenever he reads from the Zodiac Killer's letters & honestly it's so satisfying

The new Phoebe Bridgers album is thrilling & marvelous & raises the bar for songwriting. Full respect. I've been trying to place what Magnetic Fields song "Haunted" reminds me of & I think it's "Fear of Trains." Maybe something else too? Anyway I like it.
