Kurt Vile - "Chance to Bleed" (Verve Records, 2026)

Song of the Summer? Breezy melody, chantable chorus, and a great vocal hook:

"Old time, lo-fi, DIY, Rock & Roll…Nights!"

Oh. What. Fun. (Amazon, 2025)

Holiday party eggnog left out to curdle. 1970s gender stereotypes, check-collecting stars, and meanness as 'satire' blended together.

Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper (Hallmark, 2025)

The season's first banger. Atypical male lead, Anchorman-style comedy, and Christmas Ale buzz romance.

Supporting cast matters: fruitcake of an ensemble.

Oathbreakers: The War of Brothers That Shattered an Empire and Made Medieval Europe by David M. Perry, Matthew Gabriele.

What does the Carolingian Empire warn us about in 2025?

Brinkmanship. Family infighting. Egos, power-mad schemers, and an endless supply of nepobabies turn out to be centuries-old tropes.

Kurt Vile's Classic Love EP: quintessential Vile. Warm. Weird. Funny.

A collaboration with Luke Roberts centers the EP. Two versions of the title tune both work.

"Hit of the High Life" sounds like a lost song off Neil Young's On The Beach: confessional, raw, angsty about the world, macro and micro.

The Eternaut (Netflix, 2025)

Covertly, a celebration of middle-aged wisdom and long friendships. There's grace in knowing what you're good at, and who was there with you when you figured it out.

The resistance needs experienced hands.
