🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Criminal Kissing" by IAN SWEET →
New Ian Sweet review up on the blog!
Not as good as her last two albums, but a very good effort. And more poppy, if you weren't quite a fan of her more art-y/weird bedroom pop – check it out!

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Lay Low" by Fiddlehead →
What's your favorite song about change?
This hits home right now. All three kids going off to college this month. My dad in the cancer hospital for a stem cell transplant to try to beat MDS. Feeling old.
Watch your kids grow - see them leave home In a breeze without ease, feel your throat choke Watch your friends go - see your hair grow Black to grey in a day and see yourself old Its too much for me I gotta lay low

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Loser" by Tame Impala →
Saw the new Spider-Man with the kids. Well, they are young adults now, but it’s been a thing for us since they were little, starting with Milo when he was 9 or 10. We’ve seen every Tom Holland Spider-Man movie in the theaters as well as all of the Spider-verse movies. So glad we were able to again, it made my day.
And yeah the movie was so good too!
