A kid out of the UK. I think he’s like 16 or something with the songwriting skills of a pro.

One of my favorite love songs ever. Like many Chris Knox songs (and those of his band Tall Dwarfs) this sounds like it was captured on the first take, or like audio from a home video of a playing child discovering the power of his own imagination, attacking his fantasies with pots and pans for drums and an older brother’s cheap synthesizer. But it also sounds perfect. Knox sings like someone who’s been through it and out the other side— with adolescent wonder still intact, love ready to give.

Think I happened upon this guy in my algorithm through listening to a lot of ML Buch but I am really drawn to this song. The way he enunciates “six packets of painkillers” is stuck in my head

can’t stop patting myself on the back for recognizing at once that brian wilson was involved in the song’s composition - it just has that special beach boys magic! the lyrics are earnest and just a little bit silly, the key changes break my heart 💔

Not just for dads! Informative and soothing. So many subjects and typically feature a wide range of perspectives. Long live PBS.

Hard not to look like an asshole when you whip this out in public. But who cares! It’s a classic for a reason. Whitman’s prose flows gentle, like floating beachgrass on bright ocean waves. Or whatever.

Arguably the most consistent way to hang out with friends at least once a week. So many venues have them. Activity! Camaraderie! And you usually learn something.
Thursday is the best night for this, I think. Gives you something to look forward to other than the weekend.
