"Stay Gold"
Released just weeks before I was involved in a monumentally messy breakup, this was one of my go-to songs in the aftermath. Months later, I forgave him to his face, gave him what he'd left behind, and moved on.
The bass in the pre-chorus... 💥

Shout out to Jason the CSR who picked up my call after being on hold for 5 hours! He got it sorted. 🎉
Yesterday, I waited 6 hours for a call back that never happened. So I figured I'd just stay on hold today for however long it takes and now I'm on hold with a music loop that makes me want to hang up.
Not sure which is worse: waiting on hold for 2 hours or waiting for 2 hours for a call back I can't afford to miss. Boredom or anxiety? These are the options?

Chad Valley feat Rose Dagul
"Now That I'm Real (How Does It Feel?)"
Continuing the sunny vibes with this track about youthful hope in the possibility of love and connection. One of my other faves from the summer of 2011.

"Live Those Days Tonight"
Sometimes we say we wish we'd been born in an earlier era because the music/films were better. But we've all lived in a time that will be the source of nostalgia for future generations, so enjoy your moment. It's all you've got.

Looks like the US awards chances for Pillion were completely bungled.
It took home 4 awards including Best British Independent Film at the BIFAs, but received no Independent Spirit Award noms despite a one-week qualifying run at the Laemmle Newhall in Oct/Nov. Won't be released here until Feb 2026.

Similar to when Netflick showed Buffy The Vampire Slayer in 16:9 despite its original broadcast being in 4:3. Crew members and practical vfx were visible on the sides. Stayed up like that and was never corrected from what I recall. Hope they fix this more quickly.
HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

"Goldstar"
"I take the beatings everywhere I go
Down on the streets they’re talking
I feel their eyeballs gawking
I look better with my high heels on
Tonight I will let everyone know"
Most likely not their intent, but reads like a coming out anthem to me.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.
