Totally outraged by this SoHo landlord's mistreatment of an elderly artist couple, who've lived in their Mercer Street loft for 50 years. True evil.

Nine albums is way too few & I'm super not into "the sound that made me" framing. So let's just say these are nine of my favorites. The interface is fun to play with as these things go, link here: www.my9albums.com

Update to my rolling Barcelona Awe 'n' Wonder Thread. Raphinha's second hat trick of the week. The guy is running away w/the Ballon d'Or. His only possible competition: the sublime Lamine Yamal, who makes magic left & right, has scored 7 goals, & has assisted Raphinha 5 times. Outrageous juggernaut

Renoir is my least fave Impressionist, sure. But when you get up close & personal w/his canvases (in a museum I mean) you really FEEL the force & presence of his kitsch. The paintings aren't boring. And when he got it right (Boating Party & Moulin obvs, but also the Manet-esque Parapluies) he rocked

this is a campaign ad telling israelis that ben gvir will not allow palestinian prisoners to enjoy humane treatment at the israeli taxpayer’s expense, such as access to quality food, tobacco, or education. it’s a promise to immiserate those deemed unworthy of the recognition of their humanity.

Reading PNIN for the first time in years. Of course blown away anew by the wizardry & the beauty. What a ridiculous genius. But also struck by how much more VN's snobbery/hobbyhorses rankle than they did when I was in my 20s, a militant Nabokovian who pilgrimaged to his grave in Montreux no less

Regarding Don Nelson’s stoner credentials: for years he was a fixture at Wilson Nelson’s poker table in Maui, where the potency of the weed & the volume smoked was terrifying—enough to kill Cheech, Chong, & Snoop Dogg 500 times over. Other poker regulars: Woody Harrelson, Owen Wilson. Anyway, RIP

Charming karaoke recording of "Hopelessly Devoted to You" from Taylor Swift's first demo, age 12 Super rough & amateurish, w/pitch & intonation issues galore & loads of reverb glopped on top. But musical theater kid TS has a fine feel for phrasing & melodrama Song itself is A+, goes w/out saying

I'd never heard of this song, let alone heard it, until I read about it last week. As for Sam Fender: hadn't heard of him either, and am still unconvinced that he exists. One of those British phenomena, like Jaffa Cakes & Guy Fawkes Night, that seem theoretical
