kinda weird that half of the indie rock music put out in the past decade sounds exactly like Suzanne Vega but no one seems to talk about her as a direct influence

André Braugher in Homicide is still one of the most impressive pieces of acting I’ve seen on TV. His arc in that show was incredible. RIP.

Thanks to @rosyoverdrive.bsky.social for dubbing "Each Dot and Each Line" by Shredded Sun the no. 25 best album of 2023! We appreciate the support, they seem to be one of the few music blogs left that listens to all submissions and supports bands without label/publicist support.

this is an excellent piece
"We are all hurtling, inevitably, toward that one last transition, across the one true binary, the one between life and death. And that binary is the true source of all our regrets, and our joy, too. Regret exists because we all get just one life."

For a long time I’ve been thinking about why we are so terrified a child will regret a gender transition. This essay ended up being not just about gender but about all of our identities, how they shape us and, crucially, how we shape ourselves.

The panic over transgender children is driven by the fear that they’ll regret transitioning. But freedom to make mistakes is core to being human.

the "Using only a restaurant, tell us where you went to college" prompt is making me sad because Mama Mia's in Williamsburg, Virginia, moved and I can't find a picture of the old location next to campus

I have complicated feelings about the idea of being a "professional" artist. I would love to just make art and not have to have another job, but there's also something to be said for being a committed amateur/hobbyist and keeping your art separate from how you pay your bills.
Don't give up your day job, health insurance and 401(k), folks. Nearly every single writer you've heard of had a day job until their writing careers took off - and some of them kept their days jobs after that too, because they liked them, or they knew pro publishing is a fickle beast. Don't starve!
Just saw the WORST advice to give on a general level, which is to just quit your day job, willy-nilly, to become a writer. The suggestion was to let yourself go feral/get backed into a corner and figure it out.
And oh my god,can we just KILL the idea that one has to struggle/starve to make art? No.

I was shocked how much I liked The Holdovers. I'm generally allergic to heartwarming but it did a great job of balancing out the warmth with genuine sadness and acidity and not overstating the impact that positive changes in a short amount of time can have. Nothing earth-shaking but a charming watch

I was firmly against the “movies should never be three hours long” rhetoric until we rewatched the Sound of Music this weekend. That thing must have been edited by a three-toed sloth.

Does the Dismemberment Plan have any kind of rep any more? No reissues or reunions, never see them mentioned. But as someone who was going to indie rock shows and doing college radio in the DC area in the mid-late-'90s, they were massive and ubiquitous, and "Emergency & I" was a very important album

look, I am a political dummy, but it seems like the problem with polling (other than the obvious problem of who is answering phone surveys in 2023) is that it doesn't account for what motivates people to actually go out and vote, as opposed to just preferring one guy over another

One of the coolest things my old band ever did was appear on beloved cable-access dance/music show Chic-a-Go-Go. Whatever happened to it, it was so cool?

The new Traveling Wilburys are Sufjan Stevens, Phil Elverum, Adrianna Lenker, and Grouper. All their songs are 45 minutes long, barely audible, and make you want to shrivel like a raisin. Jeff Lynne is still producing and adding terrible synth parts.

And old rivers grow wilder every day
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello"

you gotta love how "sports website" The Ringer published no articles about the World Series once it started almost a week ago, as well as how you have to go the "more" section of their nav bar to access articles about MLB and the resulting page is still mostly NBA and NFL content
