Disappointing
I got really excited for this reissue last spring, but every review I’ve seen (including this one) says these watches are a letdown. $1,000 for this?!
On an unrelated-but-equally-nerdy note, I did recently find a new keyring I really like …
I, Robot Musician
Some algorithm is making sure I see ads for this everywhere I go. I’m sure the flashing light will trigger a previously undiagnosed seizure disorder.

New Beths Means Another Goofy Video
This is from Jump Rope Gazers, coming July 10th.
New Strokes
I’m hearing good things about the next album, due April 10. I lost interest in The Strokes after First Impressions of Earth (2006?!), but I’d be hard-pressed to find a better debut album than Is This It.
Here’s a video for one of the new singles, “Bad Decisions.” If it sounds a lot like “Dancing With Myself,” it’s no accident. The band allegedly gave Billy Idol and Tony James songwriting credits to avoid litigation.
As near as I can tell, the message in the video is that The Strokes will be evolving musically, so if you want rehashed older albums (clones), too bad. Oh, and the band members’ faces are deepfaked onto actors playing the clones. Timely!
