you think you’re clever? let bill Callahan show you who’s boss.
never heard anyone like him really (lyrically). sonically it’s kind of cool folk I guess.

I found out about this song through the What’s in My Bag interview with Bill Hader, and it’s pretty great.

A kid out of the UK. I think he’s like 16 or something with the songwriting skills of a pro.

A song from my pal Britt Daniel about being logical in a relationship, but nothing is really logical. Trying to do something to be at least conventional or rational, but failing in that effort. Emotion and heart ❤️ always wins out.
“No more riding the brakes.”
TUFF. A musical beast. It’s like twice as long live and often an encore or last song of the regular set.

I work three jobs and am getting my BA part time. I have hobbies, friends, and an active social appetite. I’m also subject to the 24 hour day. Sometimes that doesn’t really feel doable.
in the middle of winter, you can get an Airbnb in Burlington Vermont for $30 a night. it’s a small room, a bed, a window. Shared kitchen, both spare and kitschy (a notable achievement I feel). though I can’t afford to leave all that often, this is how I do it. I go for 5ish days, I sleep a lot, I eat well enough, I read and write a lot because I feel like I can really unload. it is so quiet, and if you wanted to go somewhere at night you could, but you’ll find you rarely want to. When I got off the train in Burlington it was snowing and the snow stuck to everything, even the asphalt and I just started laughing maniacally in an empty parking lot.

The World Accoridng to Garp by John Irving is one of the most fucked up and disturbing books I’ve ever read. feel like I almost can’t in good conscience recommend it. But you will feel ill!
The bluest eye. Also super fucked up and sad.
OH! Boy snow bird by Helen oheyemi. Unbelievably good, language is stunning, trippy but heartbreaking.
ok that’s the list.

they just put out their first print issue and managed to wrangle some very fun writers (from hannah baer to ed park, some deisgn by pippa garner) into writing some very interesting essays and stories. super charmed by the fact that it is printed on a kind of very thick newsprint? a unique tactile experience.
its like eight bucks and they'll ship it to your lovely little home, wherever it may be.
also this is a great question thank you for asking it.
