If the people behind an album can’t be bothered to invest more than a few seconds into their artwork, how dare they expect us to spend our time listening to it?

Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! / 7. The Leftovers / 8. I Think You Should Leave / 9. Breaking Bad / 10. Six Feet Under

Turned 6 the summer of 87. Just looking at this playlist is pure madeleine memory magic. Realizing how many of these songs were imprinted on my mind. This playlist makes it so clear how formative that summer was for me, how my love for music truly began then. Matthew's built a beautiful time machine

A still from Mad Men season 2, episode 10, "The Inheritance". Betty Draper (January Jones) and Glen Bishop (Marten Holden Weiner) sit side-by-side on a sofa watching television (off-screen). Betty sips from a bottle of Coke. They are both lonely and a comfort to one another.

You're already there, Other Mommy. You're already there.

A still from the upcoming film Other Mommy (2026). Other Mommy (Jessica Chastain), shot from below, her head and neck visible, looks directly into the camera. The subtitled dialogue she's just spoken, "Can I go into your heart?", is at the bottom of the still. Other Mommy has dark red hair and tears in her eyes. Other Mommy is both menacing and extremely attractive.

Been listening to SML's Spontaneous Music Live for the past several days and it is wondrous. The connection, the vibrancy. Makes me think of mid-70s/post-Damo CAN, starling murmurations, electric Miles, and the whirling life in a meadow.

For the good dads. Mine’s never been a fitted shirt guy but I did used to rock this white bucket hat and two-buttoned striped sweater of his on cool mid-90s summer nights that, along with my own shorts and Puma Suedes, gave me real artist-on-Grand-Royal vibes and I’m grateful for the fantasy.

Me after watching the season finale of Widow’s Bay, the best new series on television, a sublime blend of comedy and horror with elements of Stephen King, John Carpenter, Parks and Rec, and Twin Peaks. Stellar writing and direction plus an absolutely killer cast. I love it so much!

A still from the film Serpico (1973). Frank Serpico (Al Pacino) sits on a motorcycle on a street in Greenwich Village, wearing sunglasses, a blue jacket, jeans, and boots. Sitting behind him on the bike is his (very hot) girlfriend, Leslie (Cornelia Sharpe), wearing a scoop-neck top and orange shorts.
