Lime Garden – Love Song
So stoked that the video for Lime Garden’s “Love Song” is way more unhinged than I had any reason to expect. If only I could remember their name when searching on YouTube or trying to ask Siri to play them … Continue reading
Aritist and Fan-centric Music Streaming
I don’t care about the framing of this video, which is how Apple can beat Spotify, but I like the suggestion of how a more artist-friendly streaming service could run, which is basically that the company takes 10% of what … Continue reading
Tuesday, 20 May 2025
Came home from a slog of a day at work determined to do something substantial with the few hours of free time I have during our busy periods — read a chapter of a book, watch an episode of a … Continue reading
Paruna Walk
Last Saturday I went on walk through Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary. It was a good exercise, but I don’t think I’d recommend it for forest bathing just yet — needs some rain to fill the creeks and streams. Happily, I escaped … Continue reading

One thing I love about Severance is that there’s no such thing, especially in this second season, as a “typical” Severance episode. Love and also kinda hate. Because after last week’s emotional rollercoaster revelations about Gemma Scout aka Ms Casey, … Continue reading
Range Life: A Pavement Story
Fun times ahead. This, by the way, is not a trailer or teaser for the upcoming movie Pavements. It’s for Range Life, the fake biopic within that movie. Confused? Yeah, that’s probably the idea.
Catch Your Breath
I loved Anora and I’m stoked to see it and its creators win recognition at the Oscars and I wish that a wider variety of indie films could’ve gone home with or even just be nominated for one. I’m sure … Continue reading
The Hardest Working Font in Manhattan
Marcin Wichary’s deep dive into the engraving font Gorton is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen on the internet in ages. Even if you’re not a font person — I certainly am not — you’ll find this fascinating … Continue reading
The Oscar Cup
So the awards season has finally come to a close. We can get back to thinking about movies as art and entertainment and not talking them and all the people involved in making them like racehorses or sports teams.
