This split 7inch (with SF band Sweat Lodge on one side and my poems on the other) came out greater than I hoped! Launch show at @stinkweeds records on Feb. 25th or pre-order from Related Records here (will ship a few weeks earlier) 👀 #vinylrecords

@aliner Back when I used to have to order bootleg CDs from suspicious ads in the back of music magazines, the soundboard quality and her performance on this recording BLEW ME AWAY

@Aaron__Burch ...and it also makes me wonder how many journals/issues do they regularly buy (because the money has to come around from somewhere, right?)

My David Lynch moment was on the 100 year tribute to the Lumiere Bros first film. 40 top directors from around the world made a film using the same camera and conditions, like one continuous take no longer than 52 seconds. Somehow Lynch made an epic.

Love when you get an unexpected message inviting you to do a reading series in another state and you reply that you would love to! But the host writes back to say Oops I booked someone else sorry.

@aliner @Teaweave I first read Blow Up as one of the bonus features on the Laserdisc for the Antonioni film that it inspired. I immediately went out to buy that book and the We Love Glenda So Much collection too.

@SandmanSimonds I wasn't much of a country fan but I did like a few Dwight songs. Then I saw him in Sling Blade and I thought he was pretty cool.

Better to be thought a fool than to be elected to a second term and make cabinet picks that remove all doubt.

@havehadhavehad Yeah, like did anyone ever notice or read the poems I've had in places like Threepenny? I'll never know. But the amount of feedback I've heard from HAD readers has been very cool.

@abigailkemske My first try was Trevor Noah's Born A Crime and that was stellar. I also loved the Patti Smith autobio Just Kids. My brain does better listening to memoir-type stuff than literary fiction, which I process better on page. And you can't go wrong with any Hanif Abdurraquib.
