Now Playing: Snail Mail + Tank and the Bangas
And a sweet graphic novel about starting high school (yes, you read that right).
NOW PLAYING - Issue #88 - August 17, 2024
Hey Buds -
Watching the Olympics was both frustrating (constant spoilers and bad UX on peacock) and also USA! USA! USA! That women’s soccer gold back to back with the nail bitter women’s basketball gold, hot on the heels of the women’s gymnastics gold. No notes.
now listening…
🎧 John Legend made a sappy kid album. I’m here for it.
🎧 It really feels like the late 90s grungy vibe is coming back. Shower Curtain is getting in on it, sans flannel.
🎧 Tank & the Bangas + Yaya Bey. Full stop.
🎧 It is still pool vibes season. Eejebee brings that float all day energy.
🎧 All the covers! Especially by Snail Mail of Smashing Pumpkins!

A delightful graphic novel just came out and i was excited to be the very first to read it from my public library. How it All Ends is a rare, sweet story about starting high school and finding your first crush. Hat tip Emma Hunsinger!
now watching…
📺 The Challenge season 40 with nearly every one of my favorite players. Already giving it a 10/10 after EP1. (MTV/Hulu)
📺 Season 2 of House of the Dragon had a slow start, but then the women got fierce. Worth the watch if you still miss Game of Thrones. (HBO)
🎥 A surprisingly witty and delightful hest movie with Matt Damon, check out the Instigators on Apple TV.
