Not much to gather, really. Am I right?
Here’s Jackson Browne doing “Desperados Under the Eaves” at the Wild Honey Foundation’s Warren Zevon tribute show on Friday (h/t to Chris Morris, the show’s fantastic emcee). So much goodness that night! youtu.be/PwgpzBvJ7ZI

Tonight’s entertainment. Still tix available.
Thanks for all of the birthday love! Here is my gift to you: some nightmare fodder. Human Mask, a short film by the artist Pierre Huyghe, filmed in Fukushima, Japan, where the meltdown occurred. Watch it on the biggest screen you can. youtu.be/QJR7HUhrL2s?si

Great backyard show by Eric Bachmann last night. I gave him a copy of Joe Hustle, which has a lyric from his song “Dreaming”as an epigraph.
Also, I highly recommend the film version of Satantango. Seven of hours of delicious, deliberate drear. I broke it up into hourlong chunks.
Kim was researching a campground and came upon this. (Zoom in on the yellow bar.) Fuck these MAGA morons.
Here is The Fall doing “I Come and Stand at Your Door,” a cover of a song written by Pete Seeger and later done by The Byrds. The lyrics are from a poem by Nazim Hikmet Ran. music.youtube.com/watch?v

“Just a few small beers.”
Even in Tokyo?! Fuck MAGA in all its permutations and manifestations.
Here’s a crazy shootout I happened upon the other night. It’s from San Antonio (1945), starring Errol Flynn. I’m guessing this is the highlight of the movie.

I’m willing to bet this guy has no “computer expertise.”
He Walked by Night is a great, LAPD procedural (a template for the TV series Dragnet — Jack Webb even has a role). A creepy villain, fantastic John Alton cinematography, and a script free of hokey psychoanalysis of the bad guy’s motivation. youtu.be/FMkGu8AQScA?si

A couple of funny pages from Shirley Hazzard’s novel The Transit of Venus.
Blast from the past: Me in a RIP Magazine promo from '90 or '91 (the gum chewer). I was managing editor of the mag for seven years. That's Stella Stray Pop from KXLU next to me. youtu.be/KC5eYao9mB4?si

Pale Flower, a Japanese gangster film currently on the Criterion channel, was absolutely incredible from its first shot to its last. Bone dark noir with great cinematography, wonderful acting, and a wild soundtrack. Highest recommendation. youtu.be/fgO3fHbAAvk?si
