Cormac McCarthy passed away. One of our greats. Read almost all of his stuff in college. Seems like a good time to revisit.

Went on a walk, played Zelda for several hours, and listened to 5 albums in my backlog. Self care month in full swing.

So it seems like Reddit is killing the 3rd party app I've used for 10ish years. Seems like a good chance to hop off. I mainly use it for consolidated music, movie, and game news. Where do you guys get your's if not Reddit?

Want to see Ween but the tickets are $70 (30% being fees, infuriatingly). Also on a Tuesday out of town. Worth it?

So I'm not sure I'll be able to swing France this Fall (gonna bump to spring), so I'm thinking up a trip to Montreal and the surrounding area. I'll take any suggestions, recommendations and tips!

Release day round-up:
- Beach House EP - Really good, as expected from them.
- The National - As someone who loves them, I was very disappointed. Feels phoned in. A few good songs in there tho.
- Jessie Ware - Absolute fucking fire. Yet another AOTY contender from her. She refuses to miss.

The Beach House EP is really good, and a couple songs are so good, namely the title track, I kinda wish they had swapped out some on OTM for them.

On top of his years of activism of course, I genuinely think a lot of Belafonte's music holds up. Revisiting some of his early calypso today. Sad to see him go.
