Longtime fan of Holly Golightly and her latest album, “Do the Get Along”, is more of the good stuff she’s known for. If you’re unfamiliar with her work this album is a good introduction. The song I’d recommend is “Satan Is His Name”:
It’s a smoldering slow jam that makes it clear that, with 20+ years in the game, Holly Golightly still has it.
Homecoming is Julia Roberts acting on television and it’s terrific. The story is based on a podcast, which is cool, and it is a 10-episode show available on Amazon Prime Video.

She’s a really, really good actor and it’s fun to see her using all of those powers on this odd, tertiary character from the Archie …
These guys are so damn funny. We’ve watched this segment a couple of times since this weekend.
Clint Eastwood, man.
I was lucky enough to see them twice. They’re great.

I’m in with the Believers.

Love-love this band. The new record, “Smote Reverser”, has some serious riffs and this video for “Enrique El Cobrador” is faaaaaar out.
