A movie that takes place where you’re from.

(Schrader’s parents were, according to family legend, neighbors of my great-grandmother…who went to see “Taxi Driver” on opening weekend because Paul was such a nice boy.)
Paul Schrader’s “Hardcore” (1979).

Just finished reading Pattie Boyd’s autobiography. Interesting story but Jesus Christ she stayed with Eric Clapton waaaaaay too long. What a fucking asshole he was. Just the worst. George Harrison doesn’t come out unscathed either but he was never as bad as fucking Clapton.

My favorite thing ever written about Disintegration came from a blogger named Dana in 2003 after Hewlett Packard used “Pictures of You” in an ad.
I don't mean to kvetch about "Oh, don't you hate it when X song is used in Y commercial," but c'mon people. Hewlett Packard? Pictures of You? Do they WANT me to associate their brand with being 16, stoned, and completely heartbroken? For the love of Christ. I was watching, like, the Arsenal game on Saturday and said ad came on. Immediately I flashed to a memory of my much younger self, crouched on the floor of my closet, sobbing hysterically, alternating between hits of sativa and Jack Daniels, exhaling into a paper towel tube stuffed with dryer sheets (you laugh, but it worked, I tell you! Remember this when you go home for Thanksgiving.), and emerging only to hit rewind on my stereo. The soundtrack? Pictures of You, of course. The single most melancholy tune ever written. Repeated for 5 hours, until I was called down to dinner. Thank you, HP. I'm going to go cut myself now.

My Apple Music year-end thing is ridiculous right now. I’ve got almost six weeks to beat it into shape. All Misfits from now until New Years!
A playlist featuring the top ten songs, including "Nothing New" by Taylor Swift at number one and "vampire" by Olivia Rodrigo at number two. Other artists listed include Lil Yachty, Lizzy McAlpine, the Go-Gos, the Misfits, et al.

I’m morally opposed to Oreo Thins (Double Stuf for life!), but these are pretty good.

Oh man a pal just got a whole box of unopened Yo! MTV Raps trading cards on ebay and we’re going to open them next time we see each other! Can’t wait!

Hope we win the trip to New York to meet Dr. Dre and Ed Lover.

RIP ACE.

From the sublime to the ridiculous.
A close-up of a pink vinyl record on a turntable. In the blurred background, part of an artistic image with the text "THE LIFE OF A" is visible, along with a stylized figure. (It’s Taylor Swift, of course.)

Unexpected career change.
