SCHMITT: Did you attend a New York Mets game? SMITH: No. SCHMITT: We have texts saying you went to a Metz game. I'll give you a moment to reconsider before you perjure yourself. SMITH: FC Metz. The French football club. SCHMITT: You dirtbag.

93/1001: The Doors (1967) From Sinatra to one of his unlikely disciples... Jim Morrison. If you're a greatest hits Doors fan, like I used to be, you'll miss out on the Brecht/Weill cover, Alabama Song, later launched into space by David Bowie. #1001Albums #VinylSky #NowPlaying

92/1001: Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim (1967) In 1967 the Bossa Nova craze was completely over and done. So OF COURSE Frank, ... sorry 'Francis' 🤣 ... decides now he's going to make a Bossa Nova record. (Is a great record!) #1001Albums #VinylSky #NowPlaying

#NowPlaying #FilmSky Chronicles d'un été (1961) The epistemological problem that Morin and Rouch stumbled into...their camera doesn't simply contaminate some otherwise pure, authentic self. Being observed produces a particular version of the self but that self isn't necessarily less true

90/1001: The Who, The Who Sell Out (1967) Pop Art masterpiece of the Radio Caroline generation. "They're really a new form of crime, armed against the bourgeois" - Kit Lambert If only that had remained true. #VinylSky #NowPlaying #1001Albums

The cover of The Who Sell Out (1967) is essentially a fake advertising spread, perfectly matching the album's conceit of being a pirate-radio broadcast interrupted by jingles and commercials.

Front cover:
Pete Townshend is photographed applying an enormous stick of Odorono deodorant to his armpit, while Roger Daltrey sits in a bathtub full of Heinz baked beans, clutching an absurdly oversized tin. Daltrey reportedly caught pneumonia after sitting in the cold beans for the shoot.

LP spinning on turntable with red Track Records labels

Rear cover:
Keith Moon poses with an enormous tube of Medac acne cream, apparently squeezing it onto an enormous spot on his face. John Entwistle, dressed in a leopard-skin Tarzan outfit, embraces a blonde woman while promoting the fictional Charles Atlas-style bodybuilding course whose slogan promises to turn the weedy consumer into a muscular man.

#NowPlaying Point Blank (1967) Brutal, modernist, existential revenge noir. Love it #FilmSky

The US theatrical poster strikingly Pop-Art/modernist: Lee Marvin's face is cropped into a stark black-and-white graphic, with his hand thrusting an enormous revolver almost directly at the viewer. Behind the gun are blue-and-white concentric rings, simultaneously a target, gunshot shockwaves and an Op-Art pattern. Splashes of red around the hand introduce violence without naturalism.

I started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money. That's Dolly.

😭 💔 It feels like a little bit of America dies with Dolly Parton. Exuberant but sincere, self-invented, generous and somehow shared by everyone. Godspeed, Dolly.

I don’t know if the Mets can still have big wins, but the Padres arrived as the hottest team in baseball, and that the Mets just took two out of three from them, so by the transitive property, that win means the Mets are now the hottest team in baseball.

Jack Weisenburger’s surname is basically German for “a guy from White Castle,” which seems apropos for a guy who basically serves up sliders. #LGM #MetsSky

The Mets changing the mechanics that made Jonah Tong so exceptional last season is an experiment is going very badly. I'm starting to *really* dislike this org and it's magic pitching lab. #MetsSky #LGM

This Stearns quote about Robert Jr. is absolutely hilarious. Translation: no one wanted him. #MetsSky #LGM

Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo)

David Stearns on why the Mets held onto Luis Robert Jr.:

"It's the possibility of what he can do for us in the second half. The understanding that there is a club option [$20 million], and the excitement of of still having here him here for the next two months of the season."
