@moralfagging idk about everything he's been doing lately but i love all of the lo-fi anti-folk stuff he was doing in the early 2000s and his album Em Are I when he started recording with a real band
the thing is: i was listening to this sort of stuff at the time because i was really into Jeffrey Lewis in high school and it was super easy to find mediafire links to all of the bands he mentioned in his History of Punk on the Lower East Side

Shinbone Alley (1970) would've been better if they showed it in 8 minute segments on the cartoon network to confuse children instead of as a G-rated(ish) Fritz the Cat type of movie. but a few of those segments were genuinely great, like this one:
actually i love how long it takes for my 2015 macbook to render a file from a cracked version of ableton 9 because it gives me more time to pace around the apartment bothering the cats
John Travolta reveals he owns 12 berets and explains the reasoning behind the look:
"I said, 'You're not an actor unless you're really a director. Why don't you dress like one?' I looked up, to affirm I was correct, all the old-school directors, and they all had berets and sometimes glasses. It was cliché in a wonderful way."
