A Pitchfork headline reading "Who Will Remember 1 Umbrella?"

Me when there's a good chance of rain later

He should be covered in a viscous film

Him costing less than Foegele is a mystery to me

I had it on CD originally, took me a while to get the 10" at a reasonable price. Definitely don't see it in bins.

At least when that pad’s a plane you can just roll down a window and chuck all of that garbage out mid-flight

It genuinely baffles me that all of the AOL LPs have gotten reissued on vinyl but the best thing they did hasn't.

Archers of Loaf - Vs. The Greatest of All Time Hall, Erik - Solo Three Port-Royal - Where Are You Now Replacements - Let It Be

I listened to these records today

I'd initially forgotten Melancholia, which was one of the harder ones to rate. I loved certain aspects (cinematography, intro, second half) while the first chapter left me a bit flat.

Noir/melodrama mix Mildred Pierce was the big surprise. Superb performance from Joan Crawford.

I watched 15 films from this list in February and would rank them roughly:

Aparajito
The Banshees of Inisherin
Mildred Pierce
Naked
The Verdict
Jean de Florette
Manon des Sources
Three Colours: White
The Color of Money
Akira
Sabrina (1954)
Melancholia
The Big Short
I Confess
The Seven Year Itch

I’ve also seen The Cars That Eat Paris (a very Australian horror comedy) and The Plumber (a pitch black, uncomfortable comedy), which are good but haven’t stuck with me like Picnic and The Last Wave.

Great movie, I'm also very big on Weir's The Last Wave (which has ominous digeridoo on the soundtrack)

Eno, Brian - Discreet Music Schneider, Luke - Altar of Harmony Grouper - Way Their Crept Stereolab - Cloud Land Molina, Jason / MJ Lenderman Foals - Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost 1

[Pulling the blankets up to your chin] "Priiiiime tiiiime"

I like the first Crooked Fingers LP a lot but didn’t stick with them.

Paramount is also developing one by Danny McBride? What a weird approach. It does seem plausible that McBride’s will be fun.

I can hear Tracy Morgan say “I’m totally wired”

Aside from Gold Record, they’re all really long which makes them harder to get into.

Seeing him in May, need to spend more time with his last couple of albums

Norm takes the Iced Bucket Challenge

The Hoerner angle was honestly a surprise, I thought maybe he’d be mad at Mendel (in addition to Grohl, who he definitely Does Not Like).

The Trap Set interview with William Goldsmith was one of the most intense and uncomfortable podcast episodes ever. He also made Dan Hoerner sound like History’s Greatest Monster, so I was… surprised when SDRE did another reunion.

I figured as much, I have the 2012 2LP with Beaster. Always nice to see a record like this one readily available.

Just got a new pressing

Looking forward to watching Videoheaven, the Alex Ross Perry documentary that adapts my friend Daniel Herbert’s book
