Got into the Lemon Twigs last year, they’re fun. Excellent brand of postmodern power pop and psychedelia.

this is useful for me specifically. i knew topps had a 30-card set in Post products for a couple years, but I didn't know they had this 8-card 500 Club set. So that's another Mike Schmidt card for my radar.

[this also means y'all should watch the sequel to Spinal Tap. In a career of bangers, it was better than I'd expected and now a fitting final statement.]

[yes, that is the same guy. Beel Cleenton. Him. He’s a professional prankster. He’s not done yet, evidently]

i don't know why i'm telling all of you this. maybe you guys dig vulnerability. who knows.

that's kind of why i stopped for a bit. i have a tendency to be too much for people, and too kind to make it easy for people to reject. which is known in the biz as the 'ralph wiggum effect' i believe.

i am deeply concerned that we'll be heading into an oscar season where the quaint, pedestrian shakespeare-fellating movie wins out over the more creative and more rewarding cinematic experiences. not that hamnet is bad, i've just seen this film before, in multiple senses

watched this movie for the first time this earlier year and it blew me away. and thank you. it sure feels like something.
