cab.etc @cabetc.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The live show was a bolder, deeper version of what this album is: a cohesive piece of narrative art. It melded the best aspects of theater and live music (and, I'd argue, the cinematic approach of a music video) into something I couldn't tear my eyes away from. 040

cab.etc @cabetc.bsky.social · 22/06/2026It's mind-boggling how these can feel safe to the drivers. Even if you're not around pedestrians, that gigantic blind spot can hold so many hazards. And the A-pilllar blind spot makes such a difference. My 2005 4runner was so much better than new Chevys, and it still felt sketchy. 010
