I've been watching Ramy on Hulu. Can't believe I haven't heard more about this show. It's funny, emotional, dark, weird. Good stuff!

There are some good songs on this, but it's so uneven it's unimaginable to me that he followed it up with New York.

Also, everyone needs to see this. Andrew Bird live from the Great Room feat. Jonathan Richman Maybe his only voluntary venture onto the interwebs via video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6dBDc82om0

This is such an underrated gem. You can get a CDR from Twin/Tone or through other methods if you message me.

While laboring on the elliptical at my gym this morning, I glanced up at the TVs and noticed Jeff Tweedy. Glad to CBS News amplifying his plea. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/wilcos-jeff-tweedy-calls-for-music-industry-reparations/

They definitely hit their stride in season 2. Currently in season 3.

I haven't thought about this movie for a long time. I loved it as well. IIRC, it was kind of marketed as a quirky comedy, so when Ray Liotta's character was introduced, I was taken on an incredible, and completely unexpected thrilling, intense ride. Watched it several times after my initial viewing. Haven't seen it in a LONG time.

Iowa is truly the wild west. Teachers and other school employees became eligible February 1. I lucked into an appointment at the pharmacy nearest my house February 2. Our district has tried, and thus far failed, to coordinate a large clinic. I have a bit of something akin to survivor's guilt. I hope the distribution becomes more efficient and equitable soon!

One Night in Miami on Prime exceeded my expectations. More historical fiction than history, no doubt, but I enjoyed the dialogue and the performances.

Just quoting Ford there. I'm well aware there's a shit ton of work to do now. It just feels good to have leaders in Biden & Harris that are worthy of respect.

Ladies & Gentlemen, our long national nightmare is over.

Unfortunately, the social studies classes I teach will not line up well with the ceremony, though I am worried enough about incidents that I'm not sure we'd watch it if I could. I probably would... Otherwise, I'm going to shave my beard and have some bourbon when I get home tomorrow, if it all goes smoothly.

I listened this morning. It was a good talk. Not too much new, but a fun story from his childhood about how, as a toddler, he'd climb up on his parents' stereo and cry until they played a record.

Posting this in this thread because Miller's podcast definitely covers a lot of the same themes as Tweedy's book. Jeff is a guest on the most recent edition of Rhett's Wheels Off podcast. Linking, but it's probably easier to get through whatever podcast app you use. Haven't listened yet. https://wheelsoff.libsyn.com/059-jeff-tweedy

It's a Bowie day today. Probably all weekend. Happy birthday you wonderful alien!

I now hear that song as sort of a prophetic glimpse of the coming Trump administration. I liked it, but now I really love it. It's maybe my favorite track on W(TA).

What's this? I did a google search for Dume album and Dume Zuma and came up empty.

A college friend is in the current Poi Dog lineup. Rick Gehrenbeck.

Two female-fronted groups I love right now: The Beths Deep Sea Diver

A perfect end

I really enjoyed this. Especially the debutante ball.
