RIP David Crosby, one of the best posters of all time and the subject of my favorite magazine cover. I understand he was also a musician.

I don't want to die without understanding why the LAPD is so cheap and hostile to Jim Rockford when he's always right about everything. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy negative depictions of the LAPD, but it happens like 200 times.

Here are the isolated vocals to the end of God Only Knows. Brian Wilson wrote and produced this at 23 years old

Hi all — I wrote about growing up in Altadena, and what was lost there, for New York Magazine and it’s a very meaningful story to me, so I am spreading the word far and wide. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

The story is about the real deep sense of loss, which relates to the inevitable loss that faces us in adult life.

Thanks for reading!

Spotted in the wild!!

Cheers to the person driving around Altadena blasting Crazy Train

I feel very sad about the tragedy of this but also this me smile (which, I am realizing, kind of sums up the experience of being around Kaleb in general)

A new documentary about Lilith Fair, the ’90s women’s music festival, serves as a corrective to the mocking mythology that has trailed it—and a reminder of how rare its collective ethos feels today, writes Sophie Gilbert: theatlantic.com/culture/2025/0…

Thanks for reading, and including the story in your round up. Means a lot.

Did not see it coming that Hussein Agha (one of the chief Palestinian negotiators under Mahmoud Abbas) would at the end of Ezra’s podcast recommend Hollywood Babylon, and also make sure to note that Kenneth Anger is underrated.

Several years ago, we got a strange, delightful, semi-maniacal submission of a series of vignettes about working amongst the strange, delightful, semi-maniacal Christmas tree sellers of New York City, which became a story in New York Magazine and is now a documentary coming soon on Amazon.

Speaking of documentaries, still getting kudos and warm feelings and meeting people at parties who really appreciated that we made this documentary, and that it came out when it did.

How bout this sweatshirt..
