Show Diary: Winter 2024
I’ve been going to shows again. The question is “why” and the answer, carved to its essentials, is “why not.” I like it. Don’t bother me. Anyway, here’s the shows I’ve seen since New Years. Kay Flay and the Urban Heat I rang in the New Year at the Empire Control Room with this one….
Joanna Columbine
Joanna Columbine had reached her limit. Her relationship with her family, after years of strain, had finally broken. They were through with her. The debt she had accrued by studying fashion design at New York University was now coming due and even through she qualified for a minimal repayment plan, every month that she offered…
The Border
I keep finding myself in machine conversations; endless and repetitive. Message boards and podcasts talking past each other through the wet mechanisms of human throats. Movies are bad, music is bad, the economy is bad, the government is evil, nobody reads books, nobody cares, nothing counts. I feel responsible. I spent years turning online cynicism…

In The Vampire Club
Central Texas is experiencing a small revival of goth and post-punk. This suits me fine, because I’m legally dead. The tip of the spear, as far as I understand it, is The Urban Heat, who have been getting good radio play with Have You Ever and whose 2022 album, Wellness, is in the process of…
The First Letterboxd Review of Frazzledrip
https://letterboxd.com/blob_dylan/film/frazzledrip/ “Dr. Jolly,” I hear you ask, “this movie does not exist. How, then, can you hope to review it?” My answer must begin by addressing the nature of existence as it applies to films. Film, as we know, is an illusion. It is series of still photographs replayed in sequence and with sufficient speed…

The Littlest Sicko
He has a famous name, though I will not provide it. I will say only that it does not appear in the recently unredacted Epstein trial documents. It’s impossible for him to avoid the news, running in his circles. The headlines are full of Clinton, Trump and Dershowitz, and perhaps they will be full of…
2024: Year of the Chud?
When I typed the title in “chud” autocorrected to “chad.” Which, in my opinion, justifies the question mark. Got sick this week. Fever, stomach problems. I think it was food poisoning. Bad ham, perhaps. I’ve been living off of Christmas leftovers since the 23rd of last month. It ended up being productive, though. I was…
