Really glad I went to college during a pandemic and am job searching during a looming recession. Couldn’t have timed it better. This has all been great for my mental health. Great!

Holy hell. This is a kamikaze biography. This is one of those musician profiles that’s so thorough that it makes it damn near impossible for any music journalist to profile that artist again. What a read.

I'm actually thoroughly enjoying this Weeknd record. His concepts never really land for me but the songs always sound so crisp. It's definitely bloated, but the production palette here is awesome. Every song is super expansive. The features fit well. Count me as a fan.

The sky is not very blue on my first day on BlueSky. Good omen? Bad omen? Who cares, I’m listening to Young Mister and about to lead the Vikings to a Super Bowl in Madden.

It’s raining in Bettendorf. Gray clouds are in the sky above dimly lit trees and a faint gas station Jumbotron. The lighting is horrible. I’m a bad photographer. Gas is cheap, but rain is nice.
