Here's John Cusack giving Peter Gabriel a boombox in concert. This was early 2010s I think.

Maybe he's just a Bad Religion fan
The cover of Bad Religion's "Against The Grain". It's a field of purple warheads growing out of plants toward the right, with one ear of corn growing out of the center pointing to the left.

Day 28: Queensryche "Operation: Mindcrime" (1988)

Oh, so THIS is where all prog metal comes from! Very ahead of it's time (there's even a tribal nu-metal beat on here; in NINETEEN EIGHTY EIGHT). Anybody who's into prog metal who hasn't needs to hear this; it's the building blocks.

#Music
The cover of Queensryche's "Operation: Mindcrime". A black and white photograph of a crowd of people, many with raised fists. A picture of a nun shouting angrily is superimposed into the background to look gigantic in comparison. The band name and title of record are in a red and white band across the top. There is a large yellow and black logo (presumably having to do with the story (it's a concept album)) smack dab in the middle on the top layer. The cover has a blue and white dotted border, possibly an extreme closeup of a television screen.

Day 27: Linkin Park “The Hunting Party” (2014)

Finally another Linkin Park album I like! Their most metal album; very little rap or balladry. Not that those are bad, but they were coated with so much gauze at the end that it's nice to see them take the bandage off one more time.

#Music
The cover of Linkin Park's "The Hunting Party". A bow and arrow are drawn and ready to shoot coming from the top of the frame. Everything's in black and white.

Day 25: Willow "3" (2014)

Not bad for a 13 yr old (who turned 14 on release day). A so-well-connected-I-can-get SZA-on-my-1st-EP-13-yr-old (though SZA wasnt as big back then). Decent neo-soul until the 3rd song where she calls Jaiden a "visionary" & chemtrails. Whatever, she was 13.

#Music
The cover of "3" by Willow Smith. It's a black field with three white bars in the middle.

Day 24: Missy Elliot “Supa Dupa Fly” (1997)

If I'd picked this album up anytime in the last 20 years, I'd've been into it. For 1997, this was some forward thinking Hip Hop & R&B. Establishes the platform from which her and Timbaland's sounds took off.

#Music
The cover of "Supa Dupa Fly" by Missy Elliot. Missy lounges on a really fancy couch in a room with red velvet draperies on the walls.

Day 23: Joni Mitchell “The Hissing Of Summer Lawns” (1975)

Some nasty old school synths on "The Jungle Line". I wish this album kept up that kind of experimentality, because it get kinda samey until "Centerpiece", which flat-out sucks. The rest is a comfortable 3.78 out of 5.

#Music
The cover of "The Hissing Of Summer Lawns" by Joni Mitchell. In the background is the skyline of Beverly Hills, encroached by a sea of green. Joni Mitchell's house at the time is on the right and shaded in blue. Over the green field, five black men in silhouette haul a large python into the frame from off the left side.

Level Nine "Lost Sector Battle Section (Goddess Of Victory: NIKKE Original Soundtrack)" (2025)

Some primo PS1 era techno. Normally this kind of music leaves me cold, but there's something about the melodies that has me playing video games to it at 3AM and nodding my head.

#Music
The cover of Level Nine's "Lost Sector: Forth To Maze (Goddess Of Victory Nikke Soundtrack)". It's a black and white picrture of a swarm of geometric shapes, like if Tetris diversified and allowed dozens of varieties instead of just seven. Very PS1/PS2 era cover art.

7. Abarat; By: Clive Barker

The first book in the (as yet) unfinished YA series, it spends most of its 400 pages literally building a world. Some plot happens, but I think that's more for next time.

#Books #Reading #Fantasy
The cover of Clive Barker's "Abarat" (Book 1). There is a grid of nine illustrations from the novel, headlined by the author name and title logo (which is the same upside down or right side up). Top left: The ridiculous sorceror Wolfswinkel Top middle: The lighthouse in a wheat field in Murkitt, MN. Top right: Geneva fighting a dragon Middle left: Candy Quackenbush with a background of chickens Center: The red boat at the end of the book Middle Right: John Mischief and his six brothers Bottom Left: The Isle of Yebba-Dim Day Bottom Center: Odom's Spire, the Twenty-Fifth Hour Bottom Right: Malingo The cover is bordered with a deep, rich purple.

Day 21: Sunblind Lion "Observer" (1976)

Local Wisconsin band my mom was into as a teenager that does hard rock with a hint of prog. The keyboard sounds are distractingly 70s, but it's a pretty fun listen if you want something of this vintage.

#Music
The cover of Sunblind Lion's Observer. A black and white drawing of a medieval crowd gathered near and on a set of stairs resting on the trunks of trees.

Day 20: Lord Huron "Lonesome Dreams" (2012)

Immaculately produced. Real fitting they used this for the finale of Longmire, because this sounds like a giant wide open space. Definitely a vibes record rather than a riff or lyric record, but one could get lost in it just fine.

#Music
The cover of "Lonesome Dreams" by Lord Huron. We see a desert landscape by the light of a crescent moon. Beneath the moon is the album title and artist name, then a cloudy sky. Below that in the bottom quarter is the desert. In the center, a distant figure with a cowboy hat rides a white horse. A cactus and a ruined, tan building are behind them at the right of the cover.

Day 19: Steely Dan “The Royal Scam” (1976)

This...happened. It's the most ho-hum, middle of the road Steely Dan album I've heard yet, which means it was pleasant but empty. It's not like I wouldn't recommend it, but don't get your hopes up.

#Music
The cover of of "The Royal Scam" by Steely Dan. A man in a business suit sleeps fitfully on a bench beneath the gaze of skyscrapers with fanged and angry animal heads atop them.

Jon McKiel "Hex" (2024)

Such a unique soundscape; I've never heard anything quite like it. Mostly clean tone guitar & bass w some percussion & ambience, along w some soft singing. Really connected w the lyrics too. If I were doing my 2024 list right now, this would've been #10.

#Music
The cover of Jon McKiel's "Hex". A sentient hedge in the shape of a minotaur stands in a field of flowers before a burning house shrouded in yellow smoke, as they wear a skeleton Halloween costume and tip their cowboy hat at a butterfly passing by. The right quarter of the cover is (in descending order): the record label logo, the artist's name, the track list and the album title.

Day 17: Ted Leo and the Pharmacists "Living With The Living" (2007)

Really liked the first half but the back half tried my patience in ways I wasn't prepared for. Every song should stop at the 3 min. mark but has three to four more tacked on of repetitious garbage. What happened?

#Music
The cover of Ted Leo & The Pharmacists's "Living WIth The Living". A humanoid figure made out of yellow paint strokes, three splotches of red mesh for accessories and a tan orb for a head stands to the right of the title. The band name is in off-green and has a period after every word in it. The album title is red, on a field of yellow dots made to simulate the lights of a marquee. The background is white.

Death Grips "Fashion Week" (2015)

After breaking up, Death Grips surprise released this instrumental album. It's fine. Most of it wouldn't fit on a Death Grips album proper, but the first "Runway N" was hitting.

#Music
The cover of Death Grips's "Fashion Week". An Asian woman sits on a chair twice her size wearing a fur coat and white stockings that go above her knees. The chair is carved, dark brown wood, with thin legs and arms. At the top, there is a carving of the body of a winged creature (the head is out of shot, so no way to specifically identify it). The back and seat are covered in blue with an ornate gold pattern over the top. The floor is white marble. There is smooth, light brown wood paneling a third of the way up the wall. There is a sepia-toned floral pattern of wallpaper above that. A small, round sign at the left reads: "Legacy Room - Fashion Week".

Day 15: Van Halen "OU812" (1988)

After the 1st three songs, I was like "This is better than 5150" then the rest of the album happened. The most lifeless this lightning rod of a band ever sounded & its not just the production (which the band admits sucked). Limp heaps of nothing.

#Music
The cover of Van Halen's "OU812". The band is in black and white on a solid black background, arranged somewhat similarly to The Beatles's "With The Beatles" from 1964. From left to right: Michael Anthony, Sammy Hagar, Eddie Van Halen and Alex Van Halen. The band's name and album title are in the top left corner. The band name is aquamarine, and the title is white.

6. The Feral Detective By: Jonathan Lethem

Wouldn't call it good, but I'd call it interesting...I think.

No ending, no real point either. It's just odd. Written in that "literary" style that makes you think it's an allegory, but nah. Just weird shit, bruh.

#Books #Reading #Fiction
The cover of Jonathan Lethem's "The Feral Detective". The camera looks up at a series of palm trees. Everything is tinted orange. The title and author name overlay the picture in giant white block letters.

Day 14: The Haas Company & Jerry Goodman "Thirteen" (2024)

Liked the first two tracks, then track three slams into autopilot & track four is 9 min. of flaccid wank. Also never thought I'd see the words "This Thing Ain't Gonna Suck Itself (feat. Jerry Goodman)", but now I have.

#Music
The cover of "Thirteen" by The Haas Company & Jerry Goodman. It's a violin in space with some digital runes floating around.

Day 13: The World We Live In "Star - Broken Soul" (2023)

So, Barber Beats, eh? Sure, it's a vibe. No idea who actually came up with the songs since it says "These tracks are not original. I slightly edit them and give them a new context", but whatever they did sounds good.

#Music
The cover of "Star - Broken Soul" by The World We Live In. A black and white picture of a closeup on the face of a Greek statue has a thin white border around it with a tab of some kind on the bottom right, like this was being viewed through some alien OS where they use black and white dots as characters. This picture is the right two thirds of the cover. The left third is block white kanji. On the bottom right is the "Dolby Surround" logo. All of this is on a solid green background. A sales sticker (like if this was a CD or vinyl) is over the top right of the cover. On that sticker (from left to right) are two plus signs at the top and bottom left corners. A cartoon character holding a gun sideways with an extended clip pointed to the left. In one stack: the band's initials in all capital letters, a row of kanji and a barcode. In the top right corner of the sticker is a logo of a gridded planet with a ring around it.

Day 12: Vylet Pony "Cutiemarks (And The Things That Bind Us)" (2021)

Not just hyper pop, this is hyper...music. It's trying everything and doing a pretty damn good job at it all. Don't know if I like this or Carousel (2023) more, but fuck competition. This shit fucks.

#Music
The cover of Vylet Pony's "Cutie Marks". A punk My Little Pony OC screams into a microphone on a red background.

Day 11: King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard "Float Along - Fill Your Lungs" (2013)

Aside from the opening 16-min jam "Head On/Pill", this album's kinda trash. And even "Head On/Pill" is a prototype of songs that do it better. Only 4 more Giz albums 'til I'm finally caught up.

#Music
The cover of "Float Along - Fill Your Lungs" by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. The band sits against a wall while a projection of concentric squares is shone on them.
