the more holes music has in it the better it is. example: digital files = 0 holes (not great) cds/vinyl = 1 hole (fine) cassettes = 2-9 holes (great/maximum great)

André Braugher in Homicide is still one of the most impressive pieces of acting I’ve seen on TV. His arc in that show was incredible. RIP.

this is an excellent piece "We are all hurtling, inevitably, toward that one last transition, across the one true binary, the one between life and death. And that binary is the true source of all our regrets, and our joy, too. Regret exists because we all get just one life."

I have complicated feelings about the idea of being a "professional" artist. I would love to just make art and not have to have another job, but there's also something to be said for being a committed amateur/hobbyist and keeping your art separate from how you pay your bills.

I was shocked how much I liked The Holdovers. I'm generally allergic to heartwarming but it did a great job of balancing out the warmth with genuine sadness and acidity and not overstating the impact that positive changes in a short amount of time can have. Nothing earth-shaking but a charming watch

My sister is working on launching a platform that will allow health communicators across the country to share resources with each other, thus improving community health services. If this seems like something you might want to help support financially, you can read more about it here.

Does the Dismemberment Plan have any kind of rep any more? No reissues or reunions, never see them mentioned. But as someone who was going to indie rock shows and doing college radio in the DC area in the mid-late-'90s, they were massive and ubiquitous, and "Emergency & I" was a very important album

look, I am a political dummy, but it seems like the problem with polling (other than the obvious problem of who is answering phone surveys in 2023) is that it doesn't account for what motivates people to actually go out and vote, as opposed to just preferring one guy over another

The new Traveling Wilburys are Sufjan Stevens, Phil Elverum, Adrianna Lenker, and Grouper. All their songs are 45 minutes long, barely audible, and make you want to shrivel like a raisin. Jeff Lynne is still producing and adding terrible synth parts.

you gotta love how "sports website" The Ringer published no articles about the World Series once it started almost a week ago, as well as how you have to go the "more" section of their nav bar to access articles about MLB and the resulting page is still mostly NBA and NFL content

Killers of the Flower Moon is very good but anyone who doesn’t think at least half an hour could’ve been trimmed from the back half is kidding themselves. None of it is bad but a lot of it is redundant.

RIP Piper Laurie. Nominated for an Oscar for The Hustler and literally didn’t get another movie role for 15 years, when she was cast as Sissy Spacek’s mother in Carrie and was promptly nominated for an Oscar again.

Developing a theory that there are more good rock songs with accordion than good rock songs with piano. The crux of this theory is that "I Wanna Be Your Dog" is the only good rock song with piano.

listening to a playlist of "120 Minutes Classics." I associate 120 Minutes with the '90s but most of the songs on here, even those that came out in the '90s, sound incredibly '80s. So many chorus pedals and gated snares.
