Jordan Hoffman @jhoffman.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Reading Alan Sepinwall's biography of Rod Serling is s-l-o-w g-o-i-n-g. Because it is boring? No, absolutely not. Because it gets me jazzed up to rewatch old episodes of THE TWILIGHT ZONE, and next thing you know it is 1am. 2284

Jordan Hoffman @jhoffman.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Word is that GODZILLA MINUS ZERO is good and maybe it is but I’m still annoyed after buying a ticket to SHIN GODZILLA and it not involving giant monsters playing dreidel. 1140
Jordan Hoffman @jhoffman.bsky.social · 27/09/2026A reaction 14 months after the fact: Tracks II should not have been released as a big fat dump. Each disc should have come out a month apart. I'm still discovering stuff on here. (And Disc 3, 'Faithless', is currently my favorite.) I will probably feel the same way about The Tiberi Tapes. 120
Jordan Hoffman @jhoffman.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I just played the song "Choosin' Texas" on YouTube. I had not heard it*, but I've seen several headlines stating that whether or not I'd heard it by now is some kind of political statement. It's a good song! And Ella Langley is a good singer.

Jordan Hoffman @jhoffman.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Today we celebrate 100 years of John Coltrane. When an interviewer told Phil Schaap he disliked Coltrane, Schaap said "That’s your option. If you think that it's because his art isn't any good, then you're wrong." Never argue with Phil Schaap.
