The music is great but also the songbook that came with the vinyl album is gorgeous.

The cover of a paper booklet. Black paper, embossed with a silver border and an archway that looks like a spaceship, framing a scene of outer space.

Lyric sheet for The Governor's Waltz. An illustration of a small black dog sitting on a bed. Above the bed is a double loop of leafy branches. One loop encircles a picture of a hand holding an axe. The other loop surrounds an illustration of the feet of a person ascending to heaven.

Lyric sheet for the Phoebe Bridgers song Panarama. A sequence of images is arranged in a ring. Each image shows a different location--a city or a ruined temple or a volcano. In the center of a ring is a tower viewer, a device that tourists can pay money to look at things far away.

Also medieval people wrote to each other asking to be loaned books/for books that had been loaned to return to them A LOT.

Yeah something that irritates me when reading secondary sources about Alcuin's letters and Heloise and Abelard's is that modern people tend to interpret medieval letters as confessions of people's deepest most private thoughts when they almost certainly weren't.

Sorta of telling that when I researched language that medieval monastics might use to describe intimate relationships (variously defined) I really didn't get much from the letters of Heloise and Abelard but I got loads from Alcuin's letters to Archbishop Arno.

Every city is a memorial as well as a living thing. I think that's part of why the "Urban Renewal" efforts of the 1950s & 1960s looks even worse & worse as time goes on. Neighborhoods aren't meant to be erased wholesale. That breaks the pact. That's not what a city - a community - is meant to do.

"Is Minas Tirith brutalist?" now that's where things get interesting. It was also a Numenorean construction so presumably it was built with a similar architectural style but fan interpretations/adaptations generally lean towards Classical or Gothic.
