And honestly? I caught a glimpse of the apocalypse coming, and I wasn't even confused about it. It just made sense!...

The nostalgia hit me hard today—it’s actually a bit overwhelming—so I had to dig up these tracks from Bird, Shins, and Belle and Sebastian. I remember playing them back-to-back during an indie-pop set I hosted on the radio back in 2010 or 2011.

These are absolute indie classics. Honestly, while I was still grinding away at the office last week, they were blasting Sister Buddha at Starbucks every single day—usually around the same time, too.
When it comes to Andrew, *The Mysterious Production...* is my go-to album, and "Fake Palindromes" is definitely my favorite song—even if it is a little dark. 😁

she says, "I like long walks and sci-fi movies
If you're six foot tall and east coast bred
Some lonely night we can get together
And I'm gonna tie your wrists with leather
And drill a tiny hole into your head"

Hold on a second

Lard

The ultimate American trucking anthem—Dick Curless does it best:


Two legendary Texas sons—one hit the jackpot and one didn't:

Alright

I can't even remember what rain feels like

Just such a beautiful thing 😍
Plus, it runs from 4:50 to 5:15

...and until it bleeds out its very last drop, it’ll shine its teeth white against the world's flesh

We absolutely crushed those punks

It's a bit much for me—way too intense—but I dig the vibe overall.

I play these smooth covers of rock classics:
Gus Black - Paranoid


Nouvelle Vague - Ever Fallen In Love

Zero Loyalty

Diadem

Protomartyr - Processed By the Boys

So, my partner actually figured this out yesterday... we were scrolling through the comments under the video and were totally lost as to why all these intense Brazilians were losing their minds. Turns out, the whole thing is a direct nod to some obscure Brazilian meme that only they get—something from a trashy national TV show about a decade ago 🙏 which is wild since the band is American, right? Nobody else gets why they’d recreate it in their video.
Naturally, I had to hunt down the original video 🤣
I felt a little bit closer to Brazilians after that little pop culture deep dive! It's kind of like if someone took a clip from an old late-night sketch show and dropped it into a music video here in the States.

Anyway, I'm really digging the band—they have a lot of different influences, but it all comes together nicely. The track above gives me Idles vibes, but this one is great too—the vocalist reminds me a bit of Cave.

Cold

Those long-gone days of youth and heavy metal.

Childhood's End

Of course, bad things never come singly; they always arrive in packs of four... and today, my water heater decided to give up the ghost.
Since I actually replaced it just a few years ago, I’m guessing it isn’t some catastrophic failure, but likely just a faulty heating element or a thermostat issue.
I started by checking the circuit breakers, but those are perfectly fine.
Still, nothing works; I tried calling a repairman, but good luck finding a reliable technician for a Rheem unit here in Chicago!
One would naturally assume that in a massive city like this, help would be easy to find, but absolutely not—some guys only handle gas lines, others specialize strictly in Vaillant or whatever that brand is, some won't even come out during a pandemic, a few claim they can't source any parts, and the rest simply never pick up the phone. 🙂

Anyway, I finally tracked down a decent handyman who promised to swing by tomorrow morning. 😁
I suppose when you're dealing with four absolute disasters in one day, it's vital to have at least one small win to keep you sane. yeaaah
