Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Is this AI, though? That Stones logo doesn’t happen till 1970, and this looks like … a little before that. 010
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Sunday is apparently when everyone I've never heard of comes to the fore, unbidden. 010
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Came here to say this. Plus cassette recorder and a book of programs with Eliza. 021
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Similar mechanics permanently put me off Elvis Costello. 000
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 09/09/2026also a novella iirc: Joe Pernice’s Meat Is Murder 000
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I like my vinyl fine, but the prices and preciousness have been insane for a while. Still have thousands of CDs, and I can tap into that store-discovery thrill by spelunking the boxes they've lived in since we were readying space for a baby. 110
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Almost any amp and speakers you’ve invested in to coax “warmth” out of vinyl will play the shit out of CDs. 1164
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 02/09/2026My 7-year-old daughter got this one last night. 010
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Honorable mention to the time I had front-row Warren Zevon tickets (opener: X) to a show last-minute moved to a different theater where I had to instead sit in the balcony because I was underage, rendering the experience sadly arena-like. 040
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Way late to this and so skipping the verbiage and announcing 10 acts I have seen live … in a theater (fewer than 3,000 seats) or club. R.E.M. Elliott Smith Neko Case Jack DeJohnette Leonard Cohen Randy Newman Emmylou Harris Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Pulp 120
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Austin Frerick’s terrific book, Barons, has a chapter on this company, putting it in context with other horrible, largely unavoidable food cartels. 100
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Bill Murray in Tootsie is who comes to mind for me in that slot. 010
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 21/08/2026There should be at least 10 Syd Straw albums. 120
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Years after the (great) expanded score got its digital release, this apt typo, on the cue used in that scene, remains. (Bottom of the image.) 021
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 12/08/2026They were also both in the Blue Thunder series! 2520
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 08/08/2026His recording of “Mrs. Robinson” (“How’s your bird, Mrs. Robinson?/Mine is fine as wine and I should know/Ho ho ho”) oozes contempt for an entire generation. 000
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Also very partial to the three-Januaries run of Planet Waves, Blood on the Tracks and Desire (not even counting Before the Flood and The Basement Tapes between the bookends). 031
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Selling England by the Pound The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway A Trick of the Tail or Tail Wind & Wuthering Seconds Out 000
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 02/08/2026One of my late mother's very favorite movies. Should be much better remembered and available. 000
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I don’t remember anyone remarking on it at the time, which made me doubt my impression. Gotta be, though. Favorite part either way. 110
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Many favorites, but the one that comes first to my mind is from Joe Henry’s “Great Lake”: “Anymore I hear somebody laughing, I just figure I been took.” 020
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Professional writer here, and this is true for me, give or take the odd C. Will add that reading for pleasure, in middle age, literature I faked my way around decades ago is uniquely rewarding (and useful to my writing). 110
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Don DeLillo Thomas Pynchon John McPhee Richard Russo Anne Tyler Plus: Lorrie Moore and Ann Beattie 010
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Chin-stroking yourself to death is rare. Will it happen to the New York Times? 040
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 05/07/2026It’s my Gen X bias, but the 1980s plenty depicted in that decade’s movies looks extra plentiful to me. (And likewise 1970s malaise more malaise-y.) 110
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 05/07/2026And some continuity gaps, if I remember. In the cereal aisle maybe. 110
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Each appears to be plotting the other’s murder, also a day ahead. 1100
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 29/06/2026This kind of unrelieved-at-night heat wave always reminds me of David Simon’s Homicide, the part about the murder rate always going up. 0103
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Entering a new era of slop by slop for other slop to scrape. 000
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 29/06/2026And many names just don’t check out. Also, there’s more than one doc in that Alabama town, and the one quoted isn’t one of them. 120
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 29/06/2026That “story,” and a similar one about Texas papers (by the same “author” and using a very similar lede), definitely plays to my biases and anxieties. But the site’s homepage has something claiming to be at a September 2026 Apple unveiling. 120
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Happy Father's Day 1986 to then-precancerous dads not yet worried about how much time may be left. 040
