Tabenings - Mainstream Edition

Howdy-ho! It's Tuesday again, and... uh...

Thursday?

Shit.

Anyway, checking in. Spring break is around the corner so the potential for some writing is there, we'll see if I can deliver or simply fail yet again. Let's discover together!

In other news, I've been enjoying the hell out of the music video for DJ Shadow and Run the Jewels 'Nobody Speak'. If you aren't afraid of some startlingly foul language, you really should check it out:

I enjoy the song, but really it's the acting that raises this from 'like' to 'love'. Those guys are fantastic.

Only encountered Run the Jewels recently; they have the main song on the Black Panther soundtrack ('Legend Has It'), which is also excellent. Was investigating their catalog when I bumped into 'Nobody Speak'.

And speaking of foul language, I also recently finished reading 'The Barrow' by Mark Smylie. I've been a fan of Smylie for a long time, due to his comic book 'Artesia'; the book is stand-alone but set in the same fantastically detailed universe. From the theology to the history to the criminal underworld, it's a thousand-faceted jewel. Also holy shit is it pornographic. If you don't object to more dick sucking than a Castro whorehouse on free MDMA night, you should definitely check it out.

If you do object, I'm kinda curious how you wound up here. 😀
