time to pull out the big guns

“I hope you like re­al­ly tough, burnt meat and shit­ty scotch”
—Crispin Kott’s vows, which he wrote
 

 

One of the many 

many ben­e­fits of be­ing my pal 

is that maybe I, 

un­prompt­ed and apro­pos of nothing, 

will DM you the rap from 

the 1984 New Edi­tion clas­sic Cool It Now.

 

And nor­mal weath­er re­turned to­day, if only for a moment.
 

There’s a point on the thresh­old where a Big record be­comes so big that it dwarfs it­self and it’s hard to hear as a record. 

See: Thriller, Nev­er­mind, etc.

It a been a looooooong time since I’ve lis­tened to Out of Time for that reason. 

Tonight it sounds fresh again.
 

Out of time.
 

In­cludes Be­y­on­cé do­ing Black­bird y’allllllllllll
 

And two bands I nev­er re­al­ly cared about: Black Keys and Vampy Weeks, have dropped re­al­ly ter­rif­ic new records.
 

Still    .     .     .
 

 

And my ASMR right now is An­tipodean types talk­ing about food. 

So I just want to take a gum­my and watch Your New Zealand Fam­i­ly try bad Amer­i­can fast foods.

Ya reck­on?
 

Shut up and have some comedy.

 

This (above) has be­come a go-to com­fort movie. 

Just like Dazed be­fore it. 

Or Cad­dyshack.

Or Air­plane.

And so on.

 

When I was a lad grow­ing up in Ne­bras­ka I saw this Every­thing But The Girl sin­gle cov­er (above) and the choice of mak­ing the trans­form bound­ing box­es of the UI part of the art­work BLEW MY MIND. 

It was a huge for­ma­tive ex­pe­ri­ence for me as a young would-be graph­ic de­sign­er.
 

Enough. Said.
