Shoutout to everybody at Netflix who decided not to move forward with all the projects David Lynch wanted to do in his final years. I'm sure all the other stuff you greenlit instead was much better.

Next week (9/26) is the 8th anniversary of the creative independent. i'm always so busy running the site that i forget the birthday until someone asks me how long TCI's been around (as someone just did). thanks to everyone for reading. it really brings me a lot of joy to make it.

I'm sick of opening this app to see another batch of journalists losing their jobs. You're not trimming fat. Your cutting into muscle & bone. We need more people in this industry.

Ok, I try not to do things like this, but I was a @billboard editor for years and wrote a book about Devo and I can't let it go. Devo's "signature yellow flower bucket hat," which this story mentions twice in addition to the headline, is famously RED, and called an energy dome.

And drooly? my mouth agape in shock that this is happening! i’ll be writing on the sort of edges of my days — about an album that has such a strong advocacy for one’s self, an album that re-solidified her as a pop icon, and an album that just feels dizzyingly fun. I NEED FUN.

oh you’re surprised that frat music guy has better politics than, say, Radiohead? you thought 10/8 time signatures and a more experimental sound would mean more radical politics? touch grass my guy. crash into me bro.
