I almost cried when after an hour of digital Highest 2 Lowest abruptly switched to 16

The movie I refuse to believe is real

Per J. Hoberman’s Everything is Now, I’ve learned that city activist Jane Jacobs wrote this song with Bob Dylan to protest Robert Moses’ thankfully aborted highway that would have destroyed the Village — a detail not included in The Power Broker m.youtube.com/watch?v=9c09rI…

Still trying to score cheapish Oasis tickets for this weekend. In the meantime enjoying this presumably complete list of songs of theirs that feature “sun,” “shine," "shining," and/or "soul" tumblr.com/playmixt/97861…

Been on a Britpop kick and wound up digging up this charming meeting of the minds

I had one of my shittest ever summers — underwent emergency spinal surgery, doctors forbade me from cycling and even fucking swimming, was in lots of orthopedic pain, foot and leg torn up by an uncomfortable brace — but it did end with me seeing Oasis, and goddamn

Running on Empty not only a great film but perhaps the greatest film about a die hard fan of the Philadelphia Phillies (played perfectly by Judd Hirsch)

From Hyde and Go Tweet, in which the usually more conservative Friz Freleng briefly leans more Tex Avery/Bob Clampett

I met Robert Redford twice. Once I was thrown into a room with him and Cate Blanchett, and when they both turned to look at me for my first question I somehow managed to speak. I have nothing original to say about him except he was incredibly kind and lovely and rest in peace man

Can't believe Broadcast's “Tender Buttons” turned 20 yrs old this month. Such a pivotal album that blended indietronica, neo-psychedelia, ambient pop and hauntology to sound far ahead of its time. With Trish Keenan's striking voice & songwriting that can't be replicated.

How did I not know that there’s a 1985 TV movie called John & Yoko in which Peter Capaldi plays George Harrison

Watching The Great Waldo Pepper, which isn’t great though it’s much better than its non-reputation, but it has *genuinely* jaw-dropping aerial footage with Redford and Bo Svenson cruising around in vintage aircraft while endangering their lives to entertain. Impressive!

Fond memories of watching Ken Jacob’s’ Star Spangled to Death over a winter break, watching it in fits when I could, lugging the discs around like Charlie Brown in that special where has to read War and Peace. RIP to one of the masters

If I Had Legs I’d Kick You: I don’t like weighing in on movies in terms of topicality or personal shit, but I and a number of people I know and love have been going through some shit from several angles at once, so this kind of got to me. I also laughed my ass off

These are not easy to find! Good job Nick

Shout-out to the apparent relatives of Jo Ann Harris who rolled out for Don Siegel's The Beguiled last night at Metrograph, who hooted when her name came up, and also to the dude who then shouted "Your grandma's hot!"
