Album of the Day 284

Neil Young - After the Gold Rush

Autumn Albums No. 15🍁

Only love can break your heart.

Ornate, lovely, gilded, warm, heartbroken. Music for golden leaves going crisp 'round the edges.

Somehow manages to sound both warm and cold, simultaneously. Like standing next to a bonfire on a chilly night.

I've been SO into made-for-TV movies this year. Thanks for this!

For day 280 of my year long retrospective on made for TV movies that need a DVD/Blu Ray release, I chose the AMAZING Vampire, which premiered OTD in 1979. Richard Lynch plays a suave bloodsucker who meets his match when he goes up against two novice vampire hunters (Jason Miller, E.G. Marshall)

i've seen a couple other people make that comparison. Think they're just trying to get attract a quirky, edgy tween audience, which is totally fine. I still like the show a great deal.

J Simpson @forestpunk.bsky.social · 3d

i see it a lot. This site is becoming as prone to tribalism as all the rest.

Liking Haunted Hotel quite a bit so far, but the daughter sorta gets on my nerves.

ee - Ramadan

Autumn Albums No. 12🍁

Looks like there was a nice lil slowcore scene in San Francisco at one point. Elegant, artful indie rock in the vein of Saddle Creek or Louisville post-hardcore.

it can be a bit dim during the rainy months. But isn't going to restaurants like our national pasttime?

#AScareADay for the AM crowd, here is the Ko-Fi post, now live and free to all: ko-fi.com/post/ScareAD...

This is a fab little poem and so sad. I loved the imagery. I thought I would post a sea story for today, about dysmorphia and the permissive embrace of the sea, and beach bodies.
