Looking For Something New To Watch?

From the ever-reliable Wikipedia …

Pluribus (stylized as PLUR1BUS) is an upcoming science fiction drama television series created by Vince Gilligan for Apple TV+. The series stars Rhea Seehorn in the lead role. She previously worked with Gilligan on the AMC series Better Call Saul.

Apple has ordered two seasons of the series for Apple TV+, with the series expected to premiere two episodes on November 7, 2025, for a nine-episode first season.

Set in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the series follows an author who seems to be the only person immune to a new virus that turns its sufferers perpetually content and optimistic.

I’m in!

Someone Still Loves You Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin

A nice documentary about Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin and their trip to Yeltsin’s hometown in Russia. They’re not around anymore (like Yeltsin!), but Polydor is re-releasing their first record for its 20th anniversary. I LOVED their record Pershing, but really all of their stuff was good shiny pop. Somehow they don’t include any of their music in the doc.

Now It’s Let It Be….

That’s getting the deluxe Reissue. Listen to Androgynous (Alternate Version) that apparently includes a few seconds of piano that were clopped from the album (?). Liner notes by the way cooler than you Elizabeth Nelson of the Paranoid Style.

Local Boy Makes Good

MJ was last year’s reluctant golden boy. I wore the record out, and love this video. He’s from Asheville, so my kid and I went to his record release at a record store and I saw him two nights at the Orange Peel.

This Guy

My first post on the originale blogge was David Lynch. It seems fitting that I should comment on how he affected me, the central character of the universe.

I’ll spare you.

Someone asked me what Lynch I would be staying up late watching. I thought “probably none; his work is always spinning in my head anyway; it’s easy to call scenes to mind simply by thinking about them.”

[partial view of the home Lynch shelf]

Please note Lynch on Lynch on the far left, too worn to be legible anymore. I love his intuition and his thinking, the dream logic, the credit he seems to give to his audience for being as artistic as he is. And Alan Splet (sound engineer) and Angelo Badalementi. The struggle to find expression in images and sound when words just won’t do. An endless source of inspiration, fascination, humor, and wonder for me. A lot of great tributes out there, including Kyle MacLachlan and Defector.
