"A salesman who will make a lot of money if we buy his product says the world will die if we don't buy his product," I cry newsily, lifting my newshound snout as I scent the aroma of pure news
I’m gonna pitch this fr but if you wanna hear about mitski at the Hollywood high school auditorium I’m on it
I can’t believe seeing Mitski in an auditorium is going to only be the second strangest place I’ve seen her perform.
I remember, I first heard it because my older brother would play it in our house when I was pretty young. It’s just so core for me.
This song does something to me
Ahem
If you want an article on the mitski record let me know - I have it and was was once the Mitski Whisperer
It's been a long time since something's made me really want to write.

Apparently it’s really rare for a snake plant to bloom when it’s a houseplant ….!!!!
"The toneless yell after 'happy,' the reimagination of 'you make me happy when skies are gray': these are the sort of madcap, dastardly moves that make the chaos of Fevers and Mirrors feel smart, intentional, and honest.
New newsletter out now.

you don't see husbands realizing they forgot their anniversary and searching for a gift and seeing the necklace their wife wanted in a window for $50 and pulling out an empty wallet and moths flying out and then seeing a poster that says "BOXING MATCH FIRST PRIZE $50" and saying "hmmm" much anymore
most cutting thing you can say is "who's this clown?" because it implies they're a) a clown & b) not even one of the better-known clowns
"This album crash-landed during COVID. It’s flopping back onto my bed, staring at the ceiling fan. It’s late nights with wine for one, a coaster on my secretary desk. It’s a CBD gummy and a sense of doom."

"I remember walking across Long Island City in slow rain, crossing an unpeopled bridge with just these three echoing in my ears: before the mythos of the trio, before the true parasociality."
