Unrelated to today’s newsletter, but I just finished reading Sellout by Dan Ozzi need to say THANK YOU for mentioning it in a previous newsletter! I’ve been talking about it to everyone I know, and it prompted me to watch documentaries about Jawbreaker and Green Day AND buy a ticket to see Rise Against since they happen to be on tour. So your rec was the catalyst to a whole phase/revisiting of a previous phase. Thanks!
you are fun! this is fun: "Ms. Warwick said she plans to stay on earth rather than ever going to Mars, and she chuckled politely when I said that the food there seems terrible. A huge win for me!"
and this is meaningful: "I imagine this next week will be full of heaviness and mourning, which is understandable. I also hope that as people grieve the losses of October 7th, they allow their grief to also encompass the tens of thousands of Palestinian lives (and now hundreds in Lebanon) that were taken in the wake of that tragedy."
Top 3 Substack, consistently! You really crush this medium. So amazing that you met Dionne Warwick! Obviously she’s a music giant but her Twitter feed is also impressive.
I don’t know if TMBG is a top ten band, but they’re certainly a top ten *something* — and I imagine they’d appreciate all the categorizational possibilities that would open up. Def one of the top ten birdcages in my soul.
lmao
Thank you! :)
The line “cartographical malpractice” was wind in my sails
Thank you!!! :)
Buddy kept the sidewalks paved and busses running on time!
And reportedly got a professional boxer's expensive jacket back from the criminals who nicked it within 2 hours!
More good work than Adams has done.

Yep, but counterpoint: you missed the perfect opportunity to use “not to put too fine a point on it”….
TMBG absolutely top ten band, they have only gotten better and still go strong!
