Live chooglin’ at the Black Cat for Styrofoam Winos, who rotated instruments but always stayed themselves for a noisy crowd largely there for headliner Ryan Davis, who the Winos backed up, grounding his too-clever lyrics. DC country cosplayers Heaven Forbid opened.

Trevor and Lou of the Winos, the night’s most (only?) sincere artists

Ryan Davis with Winos; Lou’s harmonies tempered Davis’ literate trying-too-hard lyrics

Live charisma at Pie Shop in wildly different registers: Sweet Baby Jesus, w/frontman Max Brown an earnest soul man; Otto Benson, emotions conveyed with detachment in minimalist choogle delivering little dream lyrics

Max Brown, asking audience members to move some ass and be sensual

Otto Benson, more sensitive and intellectual

I plan to put in writing a list of things I wish young reporters had internalized in their education, to hand to the students who approach me about freelancing. One is when you're interviewing someone, there's no need to be theatrically hard-nosed and aggressive. Be Columbo, not Freddie Lounds.

TIL Iggy Pop played the Kennedy Center in 1973, the Stooges opening for Mott. Somebody smashed a Hostess Cherry Pie on Iggy’s chest, which he rubbed in. (Memory by Tommy Keene, h/t Petey Pete)

I knew that Eno based his idea for the back cover of No New York on German police wanted posters from the time but didn't know til recently how he practically recreated one of them.

Time machine, take me to 1980 so I can pitch a fiction feature inspired by SALESMAN starring the Feelies and maybe Robert Quine as door-to-door encyclopedia peddlers

Please Kill Me also got me thinking about Robert Quine, an inspiration to anyone who wants to grow up to be a skronking master who looks like an insurance salesman. I wrote about him @spectrumculture.bsky.social back when spectrumculture.com/2020/08/31/j...

one Bowie tour segment I wish would get officially documented is the brief run of eastern US shows from Sept 1996, when he's making Earthling at the same time & debuting "Little Wonder" and "7 Yrs in Tibet" on stage. The DC show is prob the best-sounding bootleg: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s44h...

Seeing early silent Ozus as ancestors to Adam Sandler turns Late Autumn into an unexpectedly randy game of “Who’s hotter? Mother or daughter?”

Stop Making Sense was a formative movie in my teens, tackling community , race, art vs. commerce , faith, and providing awkward youth insight in navigating an overwhelming world. American Utopia is idealism as product.

Errol Garner also works well for silent Ozu, if you don’t mind that it makes them feel like a Woody Allen movie

If this title card looks at all intriguing to you, you’ll be happy to know it’s available on YT w/o commercial interruption. It’s one of those things that make me and my wife wonder if we’re dead (complimentary).
