Mail call—I held off on listening to the Snocaps album for the past 5-1/2 months until my physical copy arrived and while the Crutchfields don’t try to recapture their PS Eliot glory this thing is positively lovely on its own terms. It’s great to hear Katie and Allison‘s voices together again.

As someone who absolutely loved freak-folk Beck and Dust Brothers Beck, man do I thoroughly, consistently dislike mopey, Nigel Godrich-produced, Nick Drakey Beck. Sea Change, Morning Phase, this new track—not my bag.

In this comic panel from Marvel Tales #94, 1949, miserly landlord Andrew Ashendrew is shocked to discover that his new bride is hideously ugly—the evil glasses given to him by a Devil figure had made her look beautiful to him

After murdering his wife and stealing his employers money for a beautiful gypsy woman, he learns that without the magic glasses she gave him she’s a repulsive hag; in a close-up panel she says “SORRY, MR. HOPKINS!”

Bill Everett sure loved magic glasses that tricked awful men into seeing ugly crones as beautiful young women

A line from the 1934 Raymond Chandler story I’m reading: “Mallory followed the path to the edge of a bluff that looked out over the lighted part of Hollywood.” I love thinking about there being lighted and unlighted parts of Hollywood.

Did Bill Everett cast Wally Wood in this story? Or did Wally just look like a Bill Everett character?

I thought I was numb to bad takes at this point but “I don’t think corporations should ever lose copyrights to public domain” wakes me right up, reminds me anew of the pain of being alive
