Just now learning Rebekah Del Rio has suddenly and sadly passed on. Talk about film AND musical immortality in just one scene.

Full disclosure, we’re friends with the owner, but if you want to visit a super cool space and help them out with getting that window fixed, stop in at Sugar Maple and have anyone of the fantastic offerings they have.

Attendance today for #Brewers vs. #Pirates is 42,774. It's the fifth sellout of the season for the Brewers and the season's largest crowd at American Family Field.

Chapter 4 of @chrisdeville.bsky.social's book SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS is called "Best New Music." It's about how music blogs and Pitchfork became a star-making pipeline in the 2000s. This is its soundtrack:

Blockbusters used to take swings with production design, costuming, and tone. Does it work even most of the time? Not at all, but i'll take this any day over a grim makeover of a hero.

Met a film buff at a wedding this weekend and wouldn't shut up about how they needed to read my dear, brilliant friends (and former colleagues) at The Reveal. Had I known that The Reveal was moving to a new, non-Substack platform, my spiel would have been 1) even longer; and 2) more fervent somehow!

My favorite works from Kandinsky are the ones that can be viewed either as an aesthetically pleasing assemblage of shapes and colors, or as an abstract representation of real life objects. Both of these from the early 1920s appear nautical to me.

In this week's (first-anniversary!) edition of the stübermania newsletter, I resurface a 2014 feature where I asked Feist, The Hold Steady, Japandroids, and other indie-rock luminaries to shine a light on the eternal awesomeness of the Constantines: stubermania.substack.com/p/an-all-sta...

I did the storyboards for Concept High, a short film by @amosposner.bsky.social that's now on YouTube. It's a super entertaining take on the inspirational classroom from a film/tv show. Give it a quick watch and then watch it again!

Smackyyackyaja is one of my favorite new Milwaukee rappers. Super youthful, vibrant, melodic spin on tried-and-true slap www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDvG...

I love Summerfest. LOVE Summerfest. It is somehow still underrated as a music festival and event that brings people together. Can't wait to go on multiple days. Having said that, the three-weekend format is a crime against Milwaukee.

This was always the worst outcome. Either keep the super cool quirky history-laden flag, or adopt the new one (which, love it or hate it, has already achieved widespread adoption and very real buy-in) but don't devote resources to a third flag nobody has asked for

Riley’s is an instant top 5 burger in Milwaukee — maybe top 3, even? Best smash burger I’ve ever had: Wagu beef, thin and crispy, brioche, grilled onions and jalapeños, served on a huge patio. $10. Incredible.

pleased to report the new Kicksie album is a blast, a perfect summertime indie-rock record, like a 100 Gecs-ified Blue Album for summer '25 kicksie.bandcamp.com/album/big-su...
