Recently got a car (my first grown-up purchase), and with it came 3 months of SiriusXM. I've exclusively been listening to the grunge channel (34-Lithium). I have an upcoming road trip to the beach, so if we're lucky I'll have a few more favorite channels to share by then. I just finished season 4 of The Bear, steadily working my way through The X-Files, rewatching Portlandia, with some 00s rom-coms interspersed to make it feel like summer :)

How does X Files hold up? It was an institution in my house growing up

I listen to seasonal playlists and this summer I have been feeling the need to redo this seaon's list. We've added a baby to the family and moved to a different state and changed jobs. We feel like different people. As I add songs though I'm finding a good number of the old lists songs in my mind. It seems they still fit us, just speak in new ways.

Thank you for your stories of daily life. I'm grateful you exist.

hey blake,

it’s summer all year round here in Malaysia. i’ve recently watched Jurassic World: Rebirth in 4DX (it was so fun, despite the mid storyline) and Superman in a big cinema! the blockbusters this summer has been so good, i’ve found myself returning to the cinema more often than usual.

Given your interest in poetry and short films, if you've not seen this one from Buddy Wakefield, you're doing it wrong. Also, I'd love to have you on my podcast if you'd like to jam. I also grew up going to the Cobalt.

In a past life Buddy and I were actually friends, we were both at the SLAM nationals together in 2003 actually (I was 19). Shoot me an email and tell me more about your podcast info@blakeoftoday.com

The Tallyrand is okay, so we are okay. There are plenty of other gun shops, so I don't think that is a coal mine canary. But vacancies deteriorate a neighborhood's vitality. May a Persian ice cream shop open in its stead.

The new Wavves album is great. And fortifying my spirit with lots of political punk, old and new: Subhumans, Lambrini Girls, Chumbawumba, Mudrat...
