Both 10-year-old and 50-something me are very excited! Been waiting a long time for this film!
I played so much Chuckie Egg! Great game!

Gouge Away live from Newport Festival
"Live in Newport" will be available for the first time on vinyl, exclusively for this year’s Record Store Day on April 18th.
Interesting that Hachette has scrubbed the book from its website and Mia Ballard has deleted her socials, but all the bookstagramers breathlessly praising the AI slop book are still there. Guess now we know who doesn’t read the books they hype?
Possibly the first real gig I ever experienced was Carter USM in our dingy student union just before this came out. Beautiful chaos! Couldn't believe 2 guys could generate that much sonic mayhem from their keyboards & various gadgets.
Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.
Yesterday, I read an article on a sports-betting website about which vinyl records to buy as investments. Today, seeing another article declaring half of record buyers don't own turntables. This is not the future punk rock had in mind...
Asheville, NC: couple days left to give feedback on the various proposals to rebuild the riverfront post-hurricane.

Screenshot from iTunes showing an album cover with pink smoke rising from an entrance to the NYC subway. Cover of the Velvet Underground's final album, Loaded (1970). Song titles are listed below.
Taking a trip down memory lane with the Velvet Underground's Loaded this afternoon. Not their best, but unfairly maligned album, IMHO.
Saw that Utah banned Jessie Ann Foley's book THE CARNIVAL AT BRAY yesterday. Here's my review from back when it was published: wordhoarder.wordpress.com/2026/03/04/r...
Warning: contains excessive praise of Nirvana, teenage rebellion, and women thinking for themselves!

Got nice noise-canceling headphones. Work great with laptop! Hooked them up to old (‘90s) CD Walkman & the volume is crazy high! Apparently need an in-line attenuator to moderate this clash between old and new tech? Can nothing be easy?
Changed my Insta account name for reasons, now have to login again but can't remember old password. Having trouble caring enough to reset it. Maybe I'm just done with Insta?
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
It's Songs of Experience. The weight is there for one warped record. I just don't remember to take it off all the time.
A blue vinyl disc spins on a record player. A chunky yellow needle on the end of the arm. Reflection of the album cover showing two people: a man & a woman standing (Songs of Experience by U2).
New needle for the record player and the albums I got at the end last year are sounding so much better! It’s the little things….

A snowy forest background with the book cover (very pink) superimposed. Some police tape marks a crime scene.
Review: BETH IS DEAD by Katie Bernet

Alright, folks. Don’t forget to buy lemons tomorrow. We are not animals! #snowpocalypse
Lady Liberty’s hand holds the torch above a frozen wasteland. The Manhattan skyline frozen in the distance. Repent sinners! All is lost! Bwahaha… etc. etc. A pretty great movie poster.
Preparing for the weekend’s #snowpocalypse with the traditional viewing of The Day After Tomorrow!
My forthcoming book, SHE IS HERE, is a collection of different types of creative work—fiction, poetry, non-fiction, visual art. It's a keyhole window into my creative path: perhaps a 21st-century version of a creative Commonplace Book? Let me explain...
Review: THE LOST by Sarah Beth Durst

"part romance, part self-discovery manual, all fantastical and rather wondrous"

Incl. a coffee shop that has records spinning on turntables as decor while streaming entirely different music... Should be parodied in a Pixar movie like how SF ruined pizza.

I've run it in the past, but will just be helping behind the scenes this year.
Had that on cassette, but haven’t heard her in years. Overdue going down that rabbit hole again.
Good times!
