Regarding a bag of Tostitos I'm technically not supposed to have in my possession, and also the Washington Commanders' win Sunday. https://t.co/eM4T1rFast

Decided to follow the NFL's Washington Commanders this year in solidarity with my brother, who actually roots for them for some reason. I came up with an essay on French fin de siècle socialism, Arthur Russell and the band Cake for Week 1. https://t.co/N68s8h5Bfx

The block was at its hottest of the summer. Bodies melted in transfiguration. There was nothing to do but lose money exerting as little energy as possible.

The hardest song I heard this month was from Aunty Rayzor, included herein alongside blurbs on Rat Heart's Jai Paul-esque Kanye West flip, Gabe 'Nandez's chilly bars and a delightful turn from Būjin. For starters. https://t.co/exR9OuMVZk

@DennisNoyes Yeah, the journalists on here are why I haven't left. It's all in flux right now, though logging off is always the healthiest option.

The thing that will never leave me about Tony Bennett is how fondly he talked about Amy Winehouse. It's burned in my brain: "Slow down. You're too important. Life teaches you how to live it, if you live long enough." Two greats of the craft.

Don't let anyone tell you "Terminal USA" isn't the Gen X equivalent of "Zabriskie Point" even more than the "Today" video is.

@marchxness Totally. I remember "I Know" being the bigger one, but it's splitting hairs from this distance. https://t.co/swDNvnc5LN

@marchxness Not sweating it either way, a bunch of great tracks have already been named — I merely come in the name of variety and good will.

@marchxness (Relatedly, Booka Shade's "Mandarine Girl" was an anthem for the tech-house crowd. Holds up, too.)

@marchxness Went through the replies twice to be sure Lindstrøm's "I Feel Space" wasn't already mentioned, which suggests the fervent mid-decade Italo renaissance has been firmly memory-holed.
