Tourist's "Memory Morning" is worth your time, and lots of it.

@columnthirteen Saw this album cover and this caption, knew immediately which song and which 30.

My New Year's playlist was: STOCKHOLM SYNDROME by Idles; GOODBYE by The Chemical Brothers; ONE MORE TIME by Daft Punk; SOLE OBSESSION by Nation of Language; and a white noise machine--all
played simultaneously so the dogs wouldn't hear the fireworks. #HappyNewYear

My personal favorite Christmas album that is not actually a Christmas album, for when those wall-to-wall holiday classics start to feel like the corridors of Santa's dungeon. #CocteauTwins

The men I know have opted for an app-based solution to their contraceptive needs, but I get it, @Grindr's not for everyone. Click onward for a VAS PSA from the @reformedwhores...

This bridge sounds like the part of the 1980s sitcom theme that plays behind character actors.

I personally think, if you're telling someone you're going to eat their face, that you should add in passing: "And not just some of it, either!"

Finally made my first Last Word, and I get the chatter now. There's no reason for these elements to work together as well as they do. Puts me in mind of a certain singularity...

Was miffed about my midnight drive to the airport, until I discovered @IDIB's 4th "After Dark" is THE PERFECT NIGHT DRIVE RECORD, now I am weighing how best to overcomplicate the route home...
