Great loud music, zero to nervous good times in 4 minutes

One of my favorite albums, one of my favorite songwriters, and now, one of my favorite interviews. Check out my chat w/ the mighty @robynhitchcock.bsky.social!

So much great music from David Thomas and Pere Ubu. The Modern Dance in particular demanded your attention, full of life and despair and madness. RIP.

Pere Ubu founder David Thomas has passed away at 71, confirmed by the vocalist's family on the band's Facebook page. www.pastemagazine.com/music/pere-u...

If you have elderly family members, you might check their amazon accounts for unwanted subscriptions. Examples of items that default to subscriptions (rather than one time purchases) include - vacuum cleaner bags, coffee filters, eye vitamins (not a category I was aware of).

David Lynch’s steadfastness in refusing to explain his films reminded me that art does not have to justify itself. It can be enigmatic, and doesn’t owe anyone anything. He was an inspiring presence in the world, and will be missed so very much.
