Songs of the Week 03/29/2024

Since y’all had to slog through some LEQ-type shit last time, this week, I’ve cooked up something shorter for your perusal. See? I even simplified to “y’all.” That’s some contractional efficiency. G’bless.

This background art is joyous. Don’t think about Oppenheimer. Look how pretty this burst of stellar fission is. Don’t think about Oppenheimer. Haha, Happy Halloween, boooo! Don’t think about Oppenheimer.

Movie of the Week 10/13/2023 (coming to you from 10/20/2023)

With Movie of the Week and its supplementary media, Shakey Graves has created a unique nook of exploration and individual experience in the information age—an adventure that’s special because it’s unmapped. That’s why I spent seven cumulative hours cataloguing every track within the Movie Machine for one, tell-all compilation post. Just what he was going for, right?

New Big Thief, new Shakey Graves, new Jim Noir hidden in Co-Pilot, AND new Wilco? Okay, well, the Wilco here is old Wilco, but that was before I knew there would be new Wilco. I'll fire an intern and do better next time.

Songs of the Week Annual Review 2022 (Because Someone Needs To Keep Spotify Honest)

I figured now was as good an opportunity as any to enter my own dark horse into the streaming music recap race—a real homegrown replay/wrapped situation. So, as 2022 comes to a close (four days into 2023), let's take a look back at the music that defined my year, and that probably didn't define yours, but here you are, reading about it.
