The Suburban Abyss

Transmissions from the leafy green nowhere.

Music, pop culture, pandemic life. Yard work, remote work and the eternal quest for discount groceries.

@Delta Thank you. DM sent.

Wrote a polite but firm letter to @Delta 4.5.22 requesting full refund for a 36-hour debacle getting back to CLE from BOI. Still no response. Two flights canceled during that time; by fed law, I'm owed a refund. I have 20+ years of business travel left and won't fly Delta again.

Episode 31 of The Suburban Abyss is live! Take a 12-minute ride on the “Ventura Highway” of your mind in celebration of @recordstoreday and ’70s soft rock.

Have you been dreaming more during the pandemic? And have your dreams been really strange? Because it’s a thing.

@12thaiboyz @johnONeil You proved to be the perfect boob for this experiment. Namaste.

[The Suburban Abyss @suburbanabyss]

@12thaiboyz @johnONeil What are your thoughts on the “Cars” soundtrack?

[The Suburban Abyss @suburbanabyss]

@12thaiboyz @johnONeil In any case, since you seem like a “last word” type, I’ll tee it up for you. Hit us with your best shot and ride off into the sunset:

[The Suburban Abyss @suburbanabyss]

@12thaiboyz @johnONeil That was almost a complete sentence.

[The Suburban Abyss @suburbanabyss]

@12thaiboyz @johnONeil Do you just need a hug? Because we’ll give you one if the women in your hot yoga class aren’t impressed that you listened to Thai funk before anyone had heard of Khruangbin.

[The Suburban Abyss @suburbanabyss]

@12thaiboyz @johnONeil You’re still here? We thought someone had put a towel over your cage.

[The Suburban Abyss @suburbanabyss]

@johnONeil @12thaiboyz I’m not sure. Maybe Ric Ocasek (RIP) peed in his coconut water or something.

[The Suburban Abyss @suburbanabyss]

@12thaiboyz @johnONeil Far from angry, broseph, just amused by the leftfield armchair quarterbacking of another smug bearded white guy. Wow, you listen to Fela Kuti. Way to dig deep. We are all suitably impressed. Would love to hear what first-man-on-the-moon insights you have on Trojan Records.

[The Suburban Abyss @suburbanabyss]

@12thaiboyz @johnONeil I don’t know you from the next mouth-breather on here, but I do know @johnONeil, and if you got in the ring with him and his collection, including his Fela records, you’d be down on the mat with a TKO in 90 seconds. Happy Saturday. Go tell your Starbucks barista how cool you are.

Episode 27 of The Suburban Abyss is live, and a day earlier than scheduled! We’re setting new standards for post-holiday motivation or something. Soon enough, I'll once again forget that I have this Twitter account.

Happy reading/listening:

@johnONeil @tommy_mets @OfficialSting Each Police record is great in its own unique way. This may sound strange, but 'Synchronicity' takes me back to being 6 probably more than any other record, even Sesame Street. Credit @TravisDryden for that.

[The Suburban Abyss @suburbanabyss]

My disloyalty to this Twitter account is palpable. Anyway, here’s Episode 21. It’s about friendships - the good, the bad and the in-between. Enjoy. https://t.co/t9EUX2BKUD
