“My favourite thing about the internet is that stuff like someone taking audio from a 2011 Charlie Kaufman lecture (and then setting it to beautifully shot imagery and a minimalist heartbeat backbeat) is something I'm able to just find and watch again & again, whenever I need a punch in the heart gut.”
EPISODE 078 kicks off with Frederick Squire's take on a song about a Book Of Love, and it closes out with a newer one from the king of Mosey. And a bunch of good stuff in between.
“Kassi Valazza's voice is a red-hot nickel ball slowly working its way through a cube of ballistic gelatin.

EPS 093 of MTR opens with Johnny Cash talking guns and before things close out with some Sonofdov wolf talk, you’ll hear: J Mascis, cardnl, Joan Shelley, and a bunch more musical niceness.
“Adam Curtis attempts to make inconclusive sense of our non-sensical modern world with a hypnotizing documentary filled with haunting old footage, amazing soundtrack selections, and a ‘David Attenborough who has seen too much’ narration style. Hits different than your usual docuseries, and will leave you wondering about what you're supposed to think long after.”
I dusted off my Substack to send out a ‘9/5 (in the USA) Day’ newsletter update, and you can READ IT IN FULL OVER HERE.
