David Johansen is one of the most important figures in my entire life. Met him when I was at my lowest, and he showed me basically how to be an actual adult, and still revel in the weirdness of existence. Please pitch in to help this utterly magical human being. www.sweetrelief.org/davidjohanse...

BONUS MUSIC! “Sidecarring,” on Patreon NOW: patreon.com/doughty

My takeaway from the Grammys is that the music business doesn’t think highly of itself. The Oscars say, “Look at our storied, glamorous world, embodying high and low, grand and intimate, populist and niche, a pinnacle of human expression.” The Grammys say HEY WOW LOOK AT THE MONEY

Three years ago, Andrew “Scrap” Livingston and I did our epic two-month all-improv music residency in LA with an incredible murderers’ row of improvising musicians: Vernon Reid, Money Mark, Mike Watt, Dan Wilson, Billy Martin, Madden “Lil Pepper” Klass, Matthew Milligan, David Levita, Danny Frankel

Fellow Memphis peeps: the Feagins thing? I am not finding any background info—even on Reddit. Why was she fired? Why do all the people who didn’t want her fired support her so fiercely?

This is Eustace, my new social media consultant

Rachel Benbow Murdy will understand me when I say “THE MIND KING *ding*” RIP Richard Foreman

I learned from a NYE DJ that the most recent #1 song recorded in Memphis was “Uptown Funk.” The second most recent #1 song recorded in Memphis came out in 1976. That song was “Disco Duck.”

Did not expect to google “Korean corn dogs near me,” but here, as they say, we are.

Yes, Kendrick won. He’s fantastic. But Drake’s hooks, phrasing, tone: uncanny. I hear Kendrick and think, “That guy’s great,” but I hear Drake songs and add them to playlists, listen repeatedly. Drake’s the only guy who could make the hook of this tune into a *hook*. Also: genius cover.

This is a song I’ve listened to continuously on repeat in 2024. To me the most phenomenal thing about Jensen McCrae is the way she sings vowels. Her vowels are just astonishing. Like burnished brass and cotton wool at the same time.

My favorite music this year was this freaky, aggressive, transgressive, utterly DIFFERENT Brazilian music. I can’t for some reason post the Spotify link, but this is the playlist if you can find it

What is the objection to fluoride now? It makes people dumb? Crazy? Is there absolutely any rational basis for this?

Graffiti in the Piazza Vittorio Emanuele: “VIVA LA FICA [long live pussy]!! BINARISM IS A CRAP!!”

Another reviewer of said trattoria indignantly accused it of being a ristorante pretending to be a trattoria. Again: I love the Romans. Again, again: get the alla gricia

A typically feverish review of the local trattoria (did I mention how much I love Romans?), which I will not reveal, but if you figure it out, get the alla gricia.

CORRECTION I set up *this* account a year and a half ago and totally forgot about it

I haven’t heard anybody bring up Asimov’s three laws of robotics and it puzzles me

Is the new Indiana Jones going to take place in 1977? (1935 + 42 years?)

Hello I am on this thing! Yes!
