Now playing: The Red Krayola - Introduction (Drag City, 2006)
Revisiting this album which I somehow haven’t listened to all the way through since like 2010. One of my favorites by them along with Hazel and Soldier-Talk.

Currently reading Shadow Ticket by Thomas Pynchon (Penguin Press, 2025)
This takes me back to the Pynchon reality I’d been missing! Bleeding Edge was my first read by him back in 2019, and this continues with the format of short, punchy chapters, but within a Milwaukee gumshoe story (so far).
