All about me, in 60 seconds 💋
Been reading a lot of vintage magazines lately. The real, actual objects - I was gifted some, and have purchased others. They're not expensive and I can't tell you how delightful it is to read an old Omni or Playboy or Interview. Highly recommended.

Hi! I program and host a late night radio show on an indie station, & you can listen to it like a podcast

It’s like if 120 Minutes was also storytime for weird adults. This week’s show is all Minneapolis music, authors, & food

Love is all around

My interior monologue these days is just this, repeating endlessly
January 19, 2026 at 3:40 PM
Sometimes I just sit and watch the big cattle call scenes from All That Jazz, Fame, and Staying Alive (shut up) back to back to back a few times because I am in love with the specific maroon/pink Danskins, dancing, and sweaty heartbreak aesthetic of a late 70s/early 80s audition sequence, you know?

Omg I didn’t pick up my bass for like a week and when I went to practice today YIKES. Clearly consistency is my friend, and I gotta be more disciplined about that

Help, this is targeting me specifically
I need an app that makes me breathalyzer before I buy vinyl.

For no reason whatsoever I am playing this song (from 1986), by this band (from Minneapolis)

Feeling very Little Edie right now. Like if you asked me “how are you?”, I would say “in a heightened state of Little Edie Bouvier, thanks.”.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

Putting together my Minneapolis show for Sunday, and I had to have this in the playlist. I still feel 16 when I hear this, when it was on heavy rotation with all my midwest weirdo friends, when all my dumb boyfriends looked just like those guys on the roof

Long before 'The Real World' and the nonsense that followed, MTV was something else entirely. Something new & never-before-seen, something culturally 'important' to us fossilizing Gen-Xers. #ripMTV
NEW EPISODE! This one is all about my memories of MTV - I play songs that had my favorite videos (Duran Duran, Missy Elliott, Gorillaz, Hole, + more). I'll read a Jim Carroll poem for Kurt Cobain & tell you all about long lost weird shows

The silent apology eggs at the end of The Big Night
This is a favorite question to ask. Favorite little moment of kindness in a movie? I'm thinking of Tim Blake Nelson leaving money on the sill after they steal a pie in O Brother.

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.
