And then filming it on your phone and putting it in a music video. And then linking that in a recommendation here on PI dot FYI.

reject cringe, embrace whimsy. I want to remember thinking the clouds look like mountains or the land looks like a quilt, now with this hot new visual aid.

To say to myself, “I made it.” To show someone else later. To convince myself I’ll have the opportunity to show someone else later, that I made it, even if I never do. (Planes are still the safest form of travel.)

My favorite hobby is watching for planes and checking where they’re coming from and where they’re going on the flight radar app… if you live near a major airport this is the greatest activity in any season and something that gives me a reason to take a walk to the pier. Love to see a plane coming from super far and imagining all the tired people ready to land in the little tube in the sky.

Blindsided by this, really sad. The list of Albini's productions is jaw-dropping. Magnolia Electric Company is one of the great pieces of post-industrial Americana, bleak and beautiful. Farewell Transmission is Jason Molina's most powerful recording, but the album (incl. outtakes) is stacked. Heavy & gorgeous, suitable for the moment.

Tearing up right now instead of working. I moved to the city as the last of Williamsburg's artistic energy was spent, and I moved to the edge of the neighborhood after it was already hollowed out. God bless the few places that are still interesting: Spectacle, Union Pool, Ore Bar, Blue Sun, Miriam Gallery, The P.I.T., Baby's, etc.
Are there places in NYC with a real artistic scene now, or did our new way of living end that possibility? Please don't say Hudson, there's no way I can learn to make furniture.

More of a look back on the making of the album, no footage from the actual recording, iirc. But great banter, good insights into the process.
The Wilco doc about making Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is good and dramatic, too—I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.
