My new contender for Album of the Year is “Don’t Look Back,” by Philly’s Hurry / Matt Scottoline. Full of power-pop bangers, this one is recommended for fans of Teenage Fanclub and Big Star. The standard vinyl, on purple with blue splatter, is gorgeous. Recommended!

Stoked to have two new poems—including one longer, weirdo piece I call “Director’s Cut”—in the inaugural issue of Lenticular Lit. Thanks to editor @RCleffi for the support. lenticularlit.com lenticularlit.com/2023/09/06/dir…
