I feel like Fugazi is still looking over my shoulder at the grocery store; it’s not a bad way to live.

I was gonna say that a couple of your records pretty cogently summed it up in real time, but looks like prior comments have covered that.

Also one could do worse than just watching the last 5 minutes of the 70s Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the Donald Sutherland invents black metal part.

Yeah, it’s fantastic. Also I wanted Weapons to be as good as the trailer. Something about it kept me just short of enthralled.

I think it’s just a different thing altogether- my favorite comics are about the drawing; most of them aren’t stories in the strict sense. Chris Ware for example is a writer’s treasure, but let’s say, Mat Brinkman, illustrates dreams or hallucinations in a way that can’t be corralled by narrative.

I guess I’m generally agnostic on the issue as I’ve yet to die; but I’m the keeper of a body of short stories by a writer well regarded in our minuscule underground which I’ve been pestered to publish, and won’t, because he was obv not in top form while writing them. It would be a disservice.

I’d switch to tea before paying $9 to get Busted. No disrespect to the Bustelo Cafe in Miami, somehow they do it great. Also shoutout to every Cuban place pulling excellent thimbles with Pilon, it’s all magic.
