Haitians in Ohio, Somali immigrants in Minnesota, rinse and repeat with whatever majority brown/Black immigrant group he and his weird jabronis can dream up

the breathless coverage of Cavan Sullivan gives me pause even though I understand it because he's been on a tear and has a deal to go to Manchester City. If, say, Julian Hall, Adri Mehmeti, and Neil Pierre were getting Sullivan's coverage, I'd be with you 100% on that.

I have so many favorite covers that it changes every day but Fiona, the Pixies’ “Winterlong” and The Clash’s “Police on My Back” are always up there

Fiona Apple’s cover of the Beatles’ “Across The Universe” is as definitive as Hendrix’s “All Along The Watchtower” or Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” and I will die on this hill.

I suspect the boy has flu (barely eating, vom, fever) in part b/c we've had COVID too recently.

i bought a 2019 model used from Carmax a couple of years ago because of RTO mandates and the sticker shock on that still hit me like a ton of bricks

the crisp air, the sun out minus oppressive heat, and ... kids getting sick barely a month into the school year. Fall is most definitely here.

having seen them live last year, can confirm they are still incredibly cool guys there is so much in that performance but every time I think Dave Sitek plugged himself into the amp along with his guitar

reading Cobain's now-famous liner notes in Incesticide always made me think it was a callout

“In Bloom” quietly the best song on that record for calling out idiot sexist and racist meatheads in the chorus IMO

No, you are correct and should stand on business. Breaking Bad was good but also an absolute slog that reveled too much in how shitty its main character could be. It did give us Better Call Saul, which was just more fun.

hmmmm, I forgot what it was. My wife just let me know there’s a place called Royal Bagel opening soon a few blocks south — closer to the Morgan Junction.

just read your piece -- closer to Oregon & California? that's going to be a very busy corner on Farmers' Market Sundays. Snapdragon Bakery is there too.

i saw the instagram post and commented in all caps b/c it really is that important. I think the space they're moving into is next to or a couple storefronts away from Molly Moon's.

I've already lost track of how long I have any Adobe product running in the background now just to be able to do work while waiting for a video to upload into it or download a completed edit.

Mets fandom can be summed up by the song title "Born Under a Bad Sign."

he is consistent in his politics, and the latter will overshadow a lot of the earnestness and semi-cornballish stuff -- at least it does in Seattle.

“No Shelter” is such a banger. A lyrical indictment of film culture placed on the “Godzilla” soundtrack.

Tomorrow it’ll probably be “Fall On Me” or “(Don’t Go Back To) Rockville”

I mean this is a big ask and it changes daily, but right now it’s “So. Central Rain (I’m Sorry)” for the guitar riff at the start that goes to the bass guitar the rest of the song

Hey so this is what I’ve been working on lately. Your Washington’s goal is to help improve the customer experience with state agencies — and highlight the collaborations that result. There’s a lot of people who made this story happen, and I’m happy to have had a hand in it.

City of Angels was a movie made for its soundtrack. Contains arguably the best songs Alanis Morrisette and the Goo Goo Dolls ever put to tape, a really explicit Paula Cole seed jam, and classics from Hendrix and John Lee Hooker.

It’s “This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)” because it was the song my wife and I chose for our first dance at our wedding reception

Rufus Wainwright singing “Across The Universe” Is exactly as lovely as it sounds The only problem is Fiona Apple covered it for the Pleasantville soundtrack and that version is amazing

His New Yorker caricature (done by Stan Chow, whose style I love) does not look too far off, but I feel like that falls in the trap of “they are brown haired and Jewish”

I feel like Nathan Fielder is a sort of Bizarro Isaac Chotiner in the sense that if you were even remotely aware of him, why would you give him any access?

new addition to the “Washed Files”: my kids are obsessed with the Spidey and His Amazing Friends show, and I just paid attention to the theme song. “That sounds like Fall Out Boy.” Theme composed and performed by Patrick Stump. Fuck, I’m so old.
