I like words. And the Cure and QPR and SKC and photography and bogey golf.

BACK TO WINNING WAYS! 🙌

The only thing I like about winter: bundled-up Goliath photos

Drove through one of the towns from The Straight Story today. Didn’t see any Alvins on riders today. #RIPDavidLynch

“…nostalgic for the CD age.” (This was the first album I bought in CD format.) 💿🌼💀💿 Much ❤️ to @wearedelasoul.com

You will be visited by three spirits*

My favorite album released in the: 1970s: Pink Moon | Nick Drake 1980s: Disintegration | The Cure 1990s: Loveless | My Bloody Valentine 2000s: Turn On the Bright Lights | Interpol 2010s: Golden Hour | Kacey Musgraves 2020s: Songs of a Lost World | The Cure

Favorite Music of 2024 No. 2 album: Cigarettes After Sex | X’s My ‘24 recap ends here, with an album that gave the new Cure LP a run for its money. On par with the gorgeous self-titled of 2017. Songs like Baby Blue Movie have a different sense of urgency. Tejano Blue an all-timer. ❤️🖤

Favorite Music of 2024 Unranked album: DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ | Sorcery The soundtrack for my next beach vacation. Seriously, one of my favorite things to do is to take my dog for a walk on the sand, with DJ Sabrina in the earbuds, sun on my face, appreciating life.

Favorite Music of 2024 Unranked album: Gift | Illuminator This kept popping up in my feed, either here or at the other place, so I gave it a shot. I’m not saying it sounds like Slowdive or Ride but I think fans of those bands would enjoy this.

Favorite Music of 2024 Unranked album: Vampire Weekend | Only God Was Above Us What can I say … I still love these guys. Gen-X Cops and Classical fit nicely among their early triumphs, and I dig the closing combo of Pravda and Hope.

Favorite Music of 2024 No. 3 album: Kacey Musgraves | Deeper Well The title track alone gave it a chance at my medal stand. Several other tracks throughout the running order made this one of the more satisfying front-to-back listens for me.

Favorite Music of 2024 Unranked album: Jon Hopkins | Ritual Just missed my top 3 of 2024. Another entrancing statement. Would have loved to have attended one of the immersive listening experiences. Darkened room with headphones will have to do.

Favorite Music of 2024 No. 1 album: The Cure | Songs of a Lost World We waited 16 years for a new album; we waited two years to hear studio versions of Alone, Endsong, et al.; we all longed for another masterpiece. And we got all that. (Hearing the not-previewed-live All I Ever Am was euphoric.)

Favorite Music of 2024 No. 1 EP: Night Swimming | No Place to Land Like Bleach Lab last year, @nightsswimming.bsky.social shines brightest amongst a crowded field of dreamy/hazy/shoegazey goodness. I look forward to more tunes down the road but these five will do the trick for now.

Favorite Music of 2024 Unranked album: Camera Obscura | Look to the East, Look to the West Nice to have Tracyanne and the band back in our lives. Sugar Almond is a particularly devastating song. ❤️ Carey

Favorite Music of 2024 Top non-album song: Black Moth Super Rainbow | All 2 of Us
