Oh nice, I still have my track lists in my Google Drive. Some of the rare cuts have since been officially released but this is how I had them at the time

More movies could benefit from a werewolf break

My mom thought I was just a picky eater

Then I developed a huge rash on the heel of my hand while I was cutting an onion at the soup kitchen where my youth group volunteered

This could be my onion allergy speaking, but: American chop suey, in a walk

(The Chaplin is very much in play! I’m at the point where my entire rehearsal is just playing to a click, which is why I’m thinking about what’s next)

What I REALLY want from my next project is something that incorporates the playfulness but also the existential dread that I associate with Buster Keaton, and I think I see scoring those films as a shorthand for bringing that into my work

…and between that and the seven new songs she wrote for One Week, I know about some things she did that I’d like to do and that would be feasible for me to do

At the same time, I don’t know how well silent movie scores with vocals work, and I would want my music to be in service of those movies

(b) since very little of that score exists online, I’ve read about it and felt so much envy

One of the reviews said that she performed a 20-minute version of Bizness and made Good Night Nurse into a de facto music video

I pitched a few music and visual media newsletters on an article about Merrill Garbus’s collaborations with Boots Riley

I’ve been fascinated with her lately because (a) she’s the artist whose sensibility is closest to my own who scored Buster Keaton movies and

cleaned a really BIG glass I'd never seen before while doing the dishes this morning and was like "this would be really great for beer" and tonight I drank a couple of beers out of it until my wife pointed out that it was, in fact, a vase

The exception that proves the rule?

I would follow him into battle

They did it. They’ve really finally recreated the experience of trying to enjoy superhero comics. This is the most expensive “[Ish #215 -Ed.]” ever brought to pass

I adore this album!

I don’t find Gos attractive at all but there’s something comforting about his performances

Dude just gets it

Rewatched Barbie and I gotta say, he understood the assignment

Just say Tim Curry

It’s cool that they came up with a single little word — “agentic” — and you immediately know whatever they are talking about is simultaneously bad for individuals, society, technology and the environment all at the same time. you don’t have to pay attention to anything surrounding that one word!

The Animation Industry is in such bad shape, you guys. The amount of raw talent and power it is losing because it's not providing a sustainable living is a tragedy that future generations will study with grief.

If you're supporting artists right now: thank you.

Graphic with three drawings. Two are quick black and white sketches of cats, and the other is a more carefully done color drawing of a dog. The text says “Quick ‘n scrungly pet portrait - $25. Less scrungly - $50. DM me to enquire!”

I was bombarded by a series of unexpected expenses over the last couple of weeks, so I’ve decided to try something new and open up commissions! I love to draw quick pet portraits (especially cats, but I’m open to any kind of critter). LMK if you’re interested, and please share!

Megan Ellison has been doing weird prestige stuff for years (she produced Phantom Thread and Riley’s last film) and from rumored tabloid reports hasn’t spoken to her father in years, I’d rather the children of rich kids make weird hard to market movies than run media conglomerates into the ground
