Every year on John Cale’s birthday I like to remember the time a journalist argued he might be able to beat Tom Jones in an over-70 Welsh icons triathlon
TRULY
My cherished hometown-adjacent pinball arcade is doing a VERY FUNNY special event for women and nb players highlighting only machines that have women in the artwork; if you are familiar with how women are typically depicted on vintage pinball machines you may be able to sense some irony there
Deal!!!
My hometown pal Maggie who is one of the wisest and funniest people I know correctly identified that grad students are the worst because they are always saying “I don’t have TIME for this” :(
Adding “playing bass in a power pop band” to the list of things I am allowed to do once I graduate

These are deep simultaneous truths
Side note I first heard this song in a Marshall’s in my hometown and was like ”what IS this wack shit“ which is part of my origin story as a punk BUT I have since matured and broadened my mind
yes!!!!!
I don’t know anything about marathon but I do feel like being girlfriend-pilled is a GREAT response to these loveless times
I’ve always had a particular ironic chuckle about this one because Ann Putnam was a distant cousin
I guess this means that despite being in grad school I am back in show-booking sicko mode, get at me if you need a show booked for any reason
A line drawing of a frog with text collaged atop it: "Cherry Cheeks, La Isla Electronica, Love in Hell, Xin, 3/14 our first fundraiser to help three latin women not able to exist in public right now at Turn! Turn! Turn! 8:00 PM 21+ $10-$10,000"
speaking of my purpose in life, here's the next benefit gig I have booked:
and the ice cream shop in my hometown where I used to do Latin homework on my breaks from working at the Shakespeare festival stopped making the flavor “perfect swirl” and I seem to be the only person on earth who remembers it???????
to date the ONLY deodorant that has successfully contained my pungent natural aroma without making my armpits itchy got discontinued in favor of a rotating series of limited-edition smells, only some of which were any good, and naturally the best ones are now all discontinued as well!
Oh yeah and for the first time in the history of having my house i hosting a touring musician with no advance planning! EXACTLY why I have a house!

The world is going to hell in a hand basket but the benefit show I threw together raised $752 for the print shop
I actually do think that Difford & Tillbrook are some of the smartest songwriters of all time and did you know Chris Difford is a Scorpio?!
Noted! Excellent

Tempted to make myself a jacket like the ones in the Cool for Cats video. What’s funnier, SQU or EEZE?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
I only became aware of him because the movie Poor Things is an adaptation of one of his books! Lanark is supposedly his magnum opus. I liked aspects of it very much! you'll see why this post in particular made me think of it if you check it out.
Have you read Lanark by Alasdair Gray?
I haven’t had bangs since two thousand FIFTEEN and am SCARED
