just on this: i wrote a pretty long essay about Danny L Harle's Harlecore in 2021, for Gigwise. then Gigwise's old domain died for some reason, so the article went with it. thankfully the Wayback Machine saved it because it's one of my favourites. #TheTwen2ie5

class album that not enough bands have tried to replicate, even though the formula is fuckin dynamite. just write a load of soft 60s classic pop/Brill Building ballads and suffocate them all in screeching guitar feedback. surely it's not only The Raveonettes who've tried this since?

so we have this little Highland cow plush toy that stays on the armchair. Derek sleeps on the armchair a lot so we often find him leaning on the Highland cow, or resting his chin. today Derek started cleaning and grooming the cow like it was a living thing, his little nap buddy 😭🥺

ranking every Weezer song (that's on a standard issue of one of their albums, or from the SZNZ EPs) from worst to best. let's call it the #weezer195.
