There's a real niche crowd out there of people whose hearts these can really sing to, so if you like them or know someone who would, please share this! And give them a shot, it's good stuff
No surprises (ha) as far as Radiohead being #1 this year, but shit... I'm 71? That could explain some things.

Where my mind is spinning tonight
It’s the Frankenstein myth bent into a sneer. Instead of fearing what the creature might do to us, Hawley makes us stare at what the makers did to the creature—and then dares us to cheer when the experiment claws its way out of the lab.
That’s why Pearl Jam’s “Animal” isn’t just a cool needle-drop; it’s the thesis. Five against one, kids against the suits, hybrids against the company, Gen X against the institutions that chewed them up. Not a warning from Olympus, but a street-level howl: we’re not experiments, we’re the reckoning.
Ridley’s Prometheus is the boomer’s nightmare: hubris, cosmic punishment, “we flew too close to the sun.” Hawley’s Alien Earth feels like the Gen X counterpunch—resentment, neglect, being used as fuel for someone else’s machine.
Prometheus hammered that “modern Prometheus” line right into the ribcage of the Alien mythos. Creation and consequence—scientists as gods, humans as experiments, monsters as offspring. Hawley didn’t invent that thread, but he did something sly: he dragged it into Gen X’s weather.
Does that picture look as shitty to you as it does to me?
9 Fine Fat Glutton Songs, written by me and performed by giant fat rodents of the swamplands:

Then I just leaned into it...
"model sheet/character design - sketches including artist notes in margins for a fat gluttonous rat villain for a comic book. show different poses/ideas/faces"
I forced "dragon":
"model sheet/character design - sketches including artist notes in margins for a new funny animal (dragon) character for a comic strip. show different poses/ideas/faces"
This was the prompt:
"model sheet/character design - sketches including artist notes in margins for a new funny animal character for a medieval comic strip. show different poses/ideas/faces"
I tried to steer it away from turning me into a pig...
I asked an AI image generator to make a "funny animal" character from sets of photos of me. This is what I got.
In a weird spot. Just finished an audiobook about Radiohead, putting their career in past tense, locked in history. Keep seeing myself as old, often ugly. Gotta stop scowling. My belly's a bowling ball that would cover the lane (no gutters, all gut...no, that sounds wrong (not inaccurate)).
