“A night for my nose, a feast for my nose, smelling the stars, smelling the flowers, smelling the desert, and the dust asleep, across the top of Bunker Hill. The city spread out like a Christmas tree, red and green and blue. Hello, old houses, beautiful hamburgers singing in cheap cafes”

My favorite subset of movies are ones that take place in a single night. Added a new one recently, the 2015 French film, QUAND JE NE DORS PAS (Anglo title ‘Sleepness Night in Paris’). I enjoyed it, but it was far less comedic than billed. m.imdb.com/title/tt3232...

My dreams are now being interrupted by AI-slop ads complete with #loremipsum graphic nonsense text. This can’t be good for my mental health.

Watched the Jeff Buckley doc tonight. Learning that two of his biggest influences were Led Zeppelin & Nina Simone now makes perfect sense. Here’s his gorgeous cover of Simone’s “If You Knew”

The only way humans will defeat the Swarm of the Machines is with unpredictable eclecticism. The YTMusic data crawlers remain flummoxed, my annual roundup showing 1300+ artists from 37 countries. Personally, I’d describe my taste as “lyrical humanity” which the algorithms will never comprehend.

“when you shudder at how infinitesimally small you are,
remember:
space that appears to need nothing does crave,
as a matter of fact, an outside gaze,
a criterion of emptiness-of its depth and scope.
And it's only you who can do the job.” - Joseph Brodsky

The amazing Palace Theater in #Hilo celebrates its’ 100-year anniversary this weekend! So glad we’ve been able to join the eclectic festivities. It’s not only a Hawaiian gem, but a world rarity as a functioning, vibrant movie palace from the Silent Era. Here’s hoping for another 100.
