Liz Phair, meanwhile, treats fully 2/3 of her catalog like PATH OF WELLNESS (a record one can assume not a lot of people heard/liked).20 Sep 2026 03:44 +0000at://did:plc:m7cfhxequo3m3fasucmfsphg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvwbul25cs23https://bsky.app/profile/rockmarooned.bsky.social/post/3mvslcqoevk2gI think we can all agree that I nailed this https://www.gq.com/story/ridley-scott-ranked18 Sep 2026 16:23 +0000at://did:plc:m7cfhxequo3m3fasucmfsphg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvslcqoevk2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/rockmarooned.bsky.social/post/3mvm6jfmsds2cZipped from a movie screening over to MUSIC FASHION FILM tour stop... which is to say, sorry about the FASHION bit (though I do truly love this shirt, which at least covers the other two)16 Sep 2026 03:18 +0000at://did:plc:m7cfhxequo3m3fasucmfsphg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvm6jfmsds2chttps://bsky.app/profile/rockmarooned.bsky.social/post/3mvjospziuc2hTwo shows I watch were the big series winners at the Emmys tonight which once again proves that I watch the perfect amount of television15 Sep 2026 03:31 +0000at://did:plc:m7cfhxequo3m3fasucmfsphg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvjospziuc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/rockmarooned.bsky.social/post/3mvgqds72f22vIt Is Accomplished13 Sep 2026 23:21 +0000at://did:plc:m7cfhxequo3m3fasucmfsphg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvgqds72f22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/rockmarooned.bsky.social/post/3mvao4gylks2vI definitely remember emailing some friends in August about how great 9/11 was going to be because TMBG, Ben Folds, and Bob Dylan all had records coming out on the same day.

ACME after release, but for now, if the basic question is "should I see this movie?" -- yes, you should!
