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.”

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.
Completely Warbling Time
I’m enjoying these musicians and their collective Hendrix WTF takes.

I’m excited about this one. It’s fun living through this new pinball golden age.

Buzzcocks (classic lineup) bassist chats with his young neighbor. Had no idea he lives in Pennsylvania these days!
I’m In x 2
These both look excellent. August 16 for Alien: Romulus and July 26 for Deadpool & Wolverine. Word on the street is that D&W is going to get Disney and Marvel back on track. Not even sure I want that, but it looks fun.
Are The Beatles “Classical?”
An interesting perspective from an excellent classical music critic.

And origin stories!
