My biggest takeaway from Koberidze's "Dry Leaf" (2025) was that the Toyota Prius is unnervingly popular in the country of Georgia. No idea if this has been addressed on Letterboxd or not.

Lasting friendships look like someone texting you out of the blue to say they still think of a review from 20 years ago in which you absolutely trashed The Mars Volta's "Amputechture."

Today's duality of man was turning down a free ticket to see Mastodon almost 20 years to the day on from the first time and instead opting for an evening with Icona Pop. No regrets.

Is there any documented link from mewithoutYou to Native Nod? I'm listening back to "This Can't Exist" again and in addition to the geographic proximity, it's striking how the former begins right where the latter ends stylistically.

Envisioning a world where people regularly pay 4.9% interest per month on their next food delivery in the same way they sign up for 72-month car loans is exactly the kind of bleak thought that should be jettisoned to Bluesky partisans, never to return.

There were better NBA players and there has been better writing on other NBA players, but there was no NBA player that inspired more beats by the pound at his peak than Russell Westbrook. Maybe his whole career, too.
