Somehow had no idea—until I started reading THE BLUE HOUR—that Jean Rhys, one of my favorite writers, translated a French crime novel in the late ‘20s and that Black Lizard reissued it in the ‘80s. Tracked down a copy & so damn excited to read it.

Born on this day: the great Karen Dalton.

Still haunted by the fact that I didn’t buy this book for a quarter at the library a few months back.

Listening to Dion so much as a kid—thanks to my stepdad, Mike—was huge for me. I remember getting lost in the lyrics and sound of “The Wanderer,” “Teenager in Love,” “Runaround Sue,” “Lonely Teenager,” “Lovers Who Wander,” “Where or When,” and “I Wonder Why.” In more recent years, BORN TO BE WITH YOU and YO FRANKIE are albums I’ve spent a ton of time with. Happy 80th birthday to one of the all-time greats, the King of the NY Streets.

Surprised I haven’t heard more about this. Grabbed it blind at the library. It’s right up my alley. So damn great. Halfway through but already one of the best things I’ve read this year.

Happy birthday, HST.

Currently streaming on Prime. Hadn’t seen it in about 25 years. Even better than I remembered. Cassel is just the greatest. Buscemi is terrific, of course. Lots of great supporting performances too: Jennifer Beals, Will Patton, Debi Mazar, Stanley Tucci, Sam Rockwell, Rockets Redglare, Jim Jarmusch, Carol Kane...

New (signed!) David Berman from @endofallmusic.

Allison Anders’s classic (and somehow underrated, nearly forgotten) MI VIDA LOCA was released 25 years ago today. ‘94 was a great movie year, and this was one of the best.

Happy birthday, Farrell! Love you to the max.
