Happy Boxing Day! I wrote about why Deerhunter were the greatest indie rock band of their generation (despite Bradford Cox hating “indie rock”), why I barely covered them in my book about indie’s mainstream glow-up, and how badly I want them to come back:

This is how I want people to be posting on Christmas. Do not try to convince Mark Cuban's goofy ass that universal healthcare is right. I want to see pleas for character actors to cleave them in twain with a broadsword. I want people volunteering to get kicked down the Exorcist steps by Alicia Witt.

People passing around the 60 Minutes CECOT piece like teenage boys from the 1980s passing around their dad's Playboy issues, and YouTube cannot take down ripped copies fast enough.

The older I get, the more I think fiction (which I love) has damaged our ability to judge people. We assume intricate interiority, wheels within wheels, because that’s what drives good plots. The truth is that what someone says and does on the surface is usually exactly who they are.

30 years ago today SUDDEN DEATH was released in theaters. It quickly became my favorite film from Van Damme as well as director Peter Hyams and it’s “Die Hard at a Hockey Game” hook is one of the most underrated variations of the John McClane blueprint.
