Fave 2025 Books: Oathbreakers, The War of Brothers That Shattered an Empire and Made Medieval Europe

What does the Carolingian Empire warn us about?
Brinkmanship. Family infighting. Power-mad schemers. Endless nepobabies.

New Larry's 100 review: #Pluribus Episode 4

Has a memory card ever been so cinematic?

Vince Gilligan makes beautiful TV from small moments: Carol's camera setup, the Paraguayan in his bunker.

Does the show endorse individualism? I'm increasingly uncertain.

Neko Case: poverty, survival, saved by rock & roll

Cameron Crowe: Rock stars—Lou Reed to Dicky Betts, long tours, late nights

Authors read memoirs, where an audiobook is another performance medium.

New review mini series: Author-read memoirs.

First Up: Cameron Crowe's The Uncool:

"Warm narration mining his teen music journalism years. Felt like Almost Famous: Writer's Cut."

Kurt Vile & Luke Roberts Classic Love EP.

"Hit of the High Life" sounds like a lost song off Neil Young's On The Beach. Confessional, raw, angsty about the world, macro and micro.

Brooklyn Motto Alex Johnson, 2025

Sometimes you need a book to take you back, not to relive who you were, but to remember how it felt to be becoming someone. Art gives us that gift: revisiting youth without getting stuck there.

My Death of the Author and Red Sonja reviews examine how stories provide a mystical map for navigating our modern fun-house-mirror existence. Important voices in expanding genre fiction and what it's commenting on.

New Larry's #100WordReviews of novel Brooklyn Motto by @haciendafilms.bsky.social

"A damn fine gumshoe yarn that tweaks expectations, updates archetypes, and features an evolved masculinity that detoxifies the genre."

Post you from a different era: 38 St. Marks, circa 2000 maybe? Probably arraigning a happy hour or something unseemly.

Flying home from a great week doing our #digitalfinancialinclusion work at the Interledger Foundation. One highlight was the debut of the documentary film, The People’s Code, about the work we fund creating open payment remittance pathways between migrant workers in the U.S. and Mexico.

RIP David Johansen. One of the great frontmen of R&R, a performer who was always reinventing himself, a compelling character actor and an icon born from the 1970s NYC art scene. He said it best: “Vegetarian, gay, straight; I just wanted to bring those walls down and have a party”
