The William Parker discography is massive and deserves to be atop the greatest of artistic achievement that I know about. There are lifetimes/lines within that dude. It is impossible to “get” it all but so rewarding to try. williamparker.bandcamp.com/album/heart-...

I pulled out a LeCarre novel to read last night and realized that the dreaded outcome to be avoided at all costs via soul searching spy craft is what what we call Tuesday here in the good ol us and a.

One day I had a buddy walk into my office at work and ask me, what music is this? And I said sheepishly, Jackie-o’motherfucker. Which I’m sure is the punchline looking for a set up.

If we’re in agreement that Singles Going Steady is the greatest collection of bangers, and sure, who’s not in agreement, this is number two, right?

This is my submission, best “best of” record. My argument: great title, great songs (obviously), song unavailable anywhere else: “Annie Get Your Gun”, excellent cover. It’s perfect. 10/10z

She’s one of my favorite writers and the Ripley books are so striking. In the first 50 pages, I’ve learned this book is about an awful person. I’m not sure I want to live in her world for the next two weeks to gain context on books that have a strong hold on my imagination.

A twice decade rhumba where I’m reminded this teeeempthashum, that I can’t resist. An intro to my carny phases and disoriented scene. The bats are in the belfry.

Vuh-like intense moments of intense “vibes” beyond what a single guitar should provide. Hardly introspective Fahey redux, a heady journey. Jack Rose’s name shall be whispered among the greatest creators with master plans. Those who know, know better than me. I’m just a dude on my couch, wide open.

“The 5 bullets email was the administration’s declaration of psychological warfare: Petty on its face and lacking sufficient instructions, its one and only purpose was to scare the shit out of workers already living in peril.”

Move fast and break people

For Elon Musk's government, the psychological warfare is the point.

Scratch the auteur. Greatest single collection I’ve yet to hear of what has made Lee Perry a single minded genius. Chasing that monumental sound that have left many scratching their heads.

Bette Davis applies her immense skill to Anti-Fascist drama Watch the Rhine. Her gaze should turn Musk to dust.

Rereading Rip It Up and Start Again I was struck by the note that Nicolas Roeg and Martin Amis were set to make a movie with Frankie Goes to Hollywood. 80s apex what if.
