Rattled by the Rush

Song in my head:
"Rattled by the Rush" by Pavement

Finished reading Perfect Sound Forever yesterday morning. Good, quick read. Made me want to get out my Pavement mix CD and I listened to it this morning (so that's why "Rattled by the Rush"'s guitar squels and harmonica honks are on repeat in my head).

Watched the Revenge of the Sith trailer this morning. Not once. Not twice. Three times. I got chills every time.

Picked up some records last night and this morning: both full lengths by the Reputation, the Sheila Divine's long out-of-print Roadrunner release, Shift's Get In and Billy Joel's Piano Man and The Stranger. In other words, musical appreciation tomorrow.

The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
