Hey folks - not being on social media has been lovely. Not deleting my account but don’t expect to be around much if at all. Will occasionally check DMs so feel free to hit me up as long as you don’t need a timely response.
Stay gold.

Quick update: surgeries went well. See you down the road
I wish @criterion.bsky.social would put out a Guy Maddin box set. Or at least THE SADDEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD.
A bunch of the hair metal/hair adjacent guys became Nashville session men.
When I was in Nashville I saw Enuff Z’Nuff open for an all-star heavy metal cover band. The drummer of the cover band was the guy from Tesla
Or the worst band you don’t like
I’m a bit of a home video nerd but I will never understand people who get worked up over damage to a cardboard sleeve that only exists to make the disc cases easier to stack and pack for shipping.
I love The Maxx. Sam Kieth forever
That’s a good descriptor
Friday news drop: I have 2 more neck surgeries on Monday. Won’t be around for a bit. Might not come back to social media at all but I haven’t decided yet.
Would pet
I should’ve been a cult leader
Gravel Saturdays are the worst
Would watch.
Blessings to all y'all that use Substack but...c'mon...that platform continues to suck.
Turtles. They count as seafood for Lent.
Woulda been a real old dog by then
I bet that fucking slayed in 3200 BC
I still have the voicemail
I forgot there was video from his last show. And yes, I'm the bald fat guy standing next to him, leaning on his amp. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZLC...
Ten years ago my friend Nevada Hill died. At the time I wrote about how his death and Bowie’s are linked in my mind. Today was the first time I’ve read it since then and it all came flooding back. Miss you buddy. www.dallasobserver.com/uncategorize...
Hell yeah - a Los Lobos documentary www.youtube.com/watch?v=NshW...
I’ve watched too much mediocre Star Wars to find joy in it anymore. The original trilogy is so full of joy and fun it makes the current state of things sadder
Exactly. Kick it hundreds of years into their future. Make these characters legends. Let things be new. Stop answering questions that didn't need answering.
I saw the same trailer.
Then again I got the fan-service vibe from the show after season one. Once it touched the main continuity the show was trapped in its web.
Looks good though.
The problem for me was its, “Look at all our continuity and Easter eggs! This is what people want!” vibe but sadly they’re right. It’s what people want. Explanation over all. The gaps must be filled. No wonder just Wookiepedia.
it sounds so greasy
FYI, people on TikTok are dipping soft serve ice cream in melted butter to get a hard shell like with chocolate sauce, etc. So if you really want some milk fat have at it.
