Never tell Amanda Seyfried, but I watched "The Testament of Ann Lee" (2025) solely because of her appearance on a really dumb food podcast called "Off Menu."
But, now, for example, I know that Amanda Seyfried is a delightful, interesting, assertive, honest, and immediately admirable human.
So, yeah. Podcasts.
Definitely check 'em out.
The best albums by Journey, Queen, and The Cars were all produced by the same eccentric English guy.
Once you internalize this, the 1970s seem a little more coherent.
Thing is, Rockpile was also an extraordinary live band.
In 1979, Nick Lowe's "Cruel To Be Kind" reshaped my entire sensibility about pop music.
But, I only recently learned that Nick Lowe had to be aggressively cajoled into re-recording "Cruel to be Kind."
He reportedly felt that the original (ca. 1974) Brinsley Schwarz version was "embarrassingly pre-new wave."
Oh, Nick. You magnificent bastard.
In 1978, Nick Lowe owned a suit like The Riddler, and I think that's pretty cool.
Personally, I think I might go more places if I could wear a suit like The Riddler.
Based on the Wolf Alice link, it sounds like some of you share my enthusiasm for a singing drummer.
Thus, meet some local heroes of mine: The Fucking Champs.
Given an infinite timescale, I will eventually get my friend Marco into this band.
Jason Faulkner's power pop cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" might as well be my favorite cover.
This guy gets it.
