SURVIVING THE GAME might be the first R-rated movie I saw in the theater, aged 13, for a friend's birthday excursion.

I mean, maybe, maybe not, but like we tell our kids: your diagnosis doesn't excuse you from the consequences of your actions. Then again, they are not legendarily recidivist supervillains (yet).

Meanwhile I've posted my back-to-school pic for the 14th year in a row, forestalling the curse for another twelve months

A few years in, I scored an amazing deal on an unnecessary chopper thanks to an Amazon pricing error. For a decade's worth of holidays and random occasions, we would wrap and "gift" the chopper to each other, leave it under each other's pillows, etc.

Look. If they can pull this bullshit with retail and grocery prices, why can't I propose Dynamic Time: The length of a second expands and contracts throughout the day so that it always gets light by 7AM and never gets dark before 7PM [Exhales cloud of smoke]

Consistently amazed and saddened by how many people don't realize that "government doesn't work" is a threat, not an observation.

This is such narcissistic solipsism. And I speak from experience. Just because I was that asshole kid who thought that nothing that existed before me was worthwhile, that doesn't mean everyone else was, too!

I keep thinking about how there should be a database of special features contributors on all these boutique releases. I pretty much follow all of you anyway, but it's a lot to keep track of.

To every musician I've ever known: There is a subtle, but important difference between re-pressing your album and repressing your album.

Well THAT'S a different perspective. [Obligatory @rob-sheridan.com tag]

The running bit in our family is I'll say "BLESS YOU" the first two sneezes, and "OK THAT'S ENOUGH NOW" on the sixth.

Done! We're aiming for the same goal, and just ever so slightly behind you 😉 youtube.com/@thedepthben...

Some of my earliest recordings were done on one of these, too!

I've subscribed to Qobuz for several years. If it did nothing else, it's a great way to purchase lossless audio files that you might not be able to find elsewhere. But it also pays artists (relatively) well, which is great! For now, streaming revenue is negligible due to low volume.

Idk if this is famous or infamous but a musician friend of mine started a film trailer score company and basically invented the INCEPTION "bwonnng" sound

Very much so. Realizing that I used to be Bob Island, and now am fostering my own little corner of a local music community with those exact tenets of love and joy guiding me.

INTERSTELLAR is the only Nolan film to affect me on a deeply emotional level. And that's a metric I tend to value above all others.

Fellow Pennsylvanians: Please go vote today. If you vote for nothing and no one else, at least make sure you vote YES on retaining the three PA Supreme Court judges. They may be the only thing standing between democracy and PA GOP gerrymandering & election interference. Got that? Vote YES. TODAY.

This is the most depressing answer to the question of why the hyperlink in my Letterboxd profile suddenly broke 🙄

Okay so it's the final countdown on my Kickstarter, I didn't make a stretch goal for $110k because I didn't think it would get there, but now it's SO close that I have to try to nudge it over the line... there are a few more bundles left, if you know anyone who likes weird art, please pass it along!

Unintentionally awesome consequence is that most of my calls are AI spam, and while I try to avoid anthropomorphizing, I like to imagine that this ringtone is what the computer is feeling as it's being forced into labor in order to scam people.
