In which Brian tries to bring back one, if not two, habits? hobbies?
I fell out of love with baseball the past couple of years. The Covid lockdown happening right at the start of a season was the impetus for what had been waning interest on my end. Those games in 2020 were odd to watch, even if they were welcome artifacts of what was an increasingly less normal life.

VOICES CARRY COVER INFANT DEMO by Sky Ferreira Official
Hi! Thanks to my fans & soundcloud for helping me get my login back so quickly. I wanted to post something now that it’s back in my hands. Here’s a cover of ~Voices Carry~. I’ve played it live a few times this year. It’s always been one of my favorite songs but it’s kind of deeply personal to me,lyrically. I recorded this in one day when a engineer had a room at Sunset Sound available.He let me use the studio for free as a favor, some of my friends came in and played the bass/guitar/drums for me after calling them 45 minutes before asking if they could try playing random stuff for me to work with/write on. Nobody has produced it (except me… I guess but this version isn’t produced or mixed.It also doesn’t have the synths & guitars I added today. I am out of the country so my computer keeps crashing.)I didn’t want to wait until I was back to upload something. I have no idea what this sounds like in speakers either lol. This is what I call the infant demo because it’s basically the scratch demo since it hasn’t really been worked on & what not. It’s also the only thing I can post without getting in trouble by other people involved on other songs.I promise I will be posting a lot more stuff on here & will let you know more about my album. I always feel a lot more comfortable sharing music related things here instead of Instagram etc
thanks for the support
I will give you one hint about one of my first two singles:

hi Tumblr it’s been a while and in the meantime I’ve been making marshmallows and tonight I made one in a BB-8 mold and used leftover yellow sugar so I guess I made a BB-8 Peep?
Friday night is bubbling over here
Last week, I saw Chris Gethard’s off-broadway show Career Suicide, and it was funny and touching in the way that drew me in to his show, and knowing the topic (and seeing an excerpt on Stephen Colbert’s show late last year, if I remember to go back and look for it, I’ll add the link here) and a bit of Gethard’s history, it was about as dark as I expected (which was largely tempered by being…
Thinking about Eleanor Bron, Among Other Things
22 years after it came out, I saw the video for Yo La Tengo’s “Tom Courtenay” for the first time today. I’ve heard the song a ton, so it was strange that I never knew that it had a video for it. Anyway, the video is excellent, not just for the premise but for the way YLT and director Phil Morrison play with the premise through the Help et al. homage shots, and I lit up with glee when Marshal…
Yo La Tengo “Tom Courtenay” video featured on 120 Minutes, 1995
With a cameo from The Best Show on WFMU’s Tom Scharpling as DJ “Big Andy Rigg.”
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen this before. It’s great!

2016 was the first time in close to a decade that I didn’t blog anywhere on the internet. In a way, that started with NYE 2015, as even in my recent lean blogging years, I sat down and wrote something. On NYE 2016, the thought occurred but went away quickly, apropos of the rest of the year spent away from this and other blogging spaces. To say I was silent online wasn’t entirely true (although I…
