I love how you only sound Boston when you’re talking to the boys
2 reasons to listen to this episode: I do a full vocal fry/uptalk/Californians valley girl thing when I read from Cameron Crowe & I play a jazzy cover of Hot For Teacher that mentions the dialectical shamanism of David Lee Roth www.mixcloud.com/KOPN/late-wi...
Ohhhh fantastic! Dude, your pictures are always so purty!
Wild at Heart is soooooooooooo great. One of my top fave Lynch
Been playing the Herbie Hancock soundtrack from Blow Up a bunch lately. Do yourself a favor and give that one a spin
No head or face, no limbs - only the parts that are important to him, with his name carved into what is most important to him. Revolting on every possible level. I still contend that it’s not “piss tape” they wanna hide because no one would care about that. It’s a fucken snuff film (or two)
2 plays so far of my new episode; 11 plays of the previous one, & only 46 followers - it’s dropped so much and it’s breaking my heart. Please consider tuning in- it’s on demand, free, and ad-free. I curate and narrate the whole thing (no Ai for anything). Every listen, like, & subscription matters!
Yeah I’m pretty sure it’ll mean the same for me
Alice in Normieland
Future Mild Surprise
A Clockwork Clementine
To Harm A Mockingbird
Pssst - listen up, and please share 💋🎙️🎧
Extraordinary work here
I only like the non-actor ones, like the kid in the first Omen, or other kids who are just normal and not ACTING ACTING
Yep - I’m super interested in this, and I like that it’s immediately really different, good choice. Oh I hate this kid tho
Checking out the tv miniseries version of The Shining that King wrote- first time watch for me (thanks, Tubi!)
NEW LATE! I'll take you back to school with music from the Jackson 5, the MC5, Daft Punk, the bird & the bee, Prince, + more; I'll tell true stories, and read from Cameron Crowe, bell hooks, Michael Chabon, + more. Listen up, like/subscribe/please share 💗 www.mixcloud.com/KOPN/late-wi...
Haven’t doubted this since I was 14 or so. This is the real rebellion, this is hardcore AF
📌
This is the way.
This shows great maturity and self control, I absolutely applaud you for this
I am so sad and miss my Pop so much - and my god it’s a shame he passed just before this new Naked Gun movie came out, because we should’ve been able to go see it together and cry laughing over the too-big popcorn bucket
Children of the Gorn
Thanks Hon! 🦩
I am very pleased with myself 😂. The fries are those frozen Alexia ones (I like a lot of their stuff), and I’m always looking for a reason to whip up some gravy
Made myself a treat—Rosemary fries and a little gravy (brown butter roux, chicken stock, Dijon, salt/white pepper/with rosemary sprig infused on the heat, then plucked out)
Friday.
Totally! Dreamy lil sideburns!
Im guessing the OG Buffy movie
Oh we good, my friend. I share the sentiment
Hashtag Adventure Jack! Yesssss!
😂😂😂
I program and host a radio show that you can listen to on demand (and it’s free/ad-free)! I’d love to have more listeners - please like/subscribe and especially share - let people know why you listen, and why they should too! It’s Late
It’s insulting that all of this human misery and despair is cause some rich guys got bored
Smart
All those nubby tweeds! Overcoats for days! Just gorgeous
youtu.be/HS-L4UAmuFI?...
I’ll have to watch American Gigolo tonight. The way he dressed Richard Gere in that was revolutionary. And Richard Gere was so gorgeously effortless in those looks - the very definition of sprezzatura
RIP Giorgio Armani He dressed movies beautifully.
Obviously #4, because just imagine being viciously roasted and pummeled by a teeny middle aged lady in giant glasses - you can’t come back from that. Mine enemies would be mightily smitten through brutal humiliation + a mean right hook
HOWWWW? I thought we settled this ages ago and no longer felt some weird need to obfuscate it????
Ok I’m late to the party and just saw that there’s a new Wuthering Heights coming out (yay!). But they’re still making Heathcliff a white guy? (boo!). What the hell?
I never tell them, that’s none of their business
BRAND NEW LATE! This one’s all about books! I tell my Anthony Bourdain story and read from Kurt Vonnegut, Eugene V Debs, Katherine Dunn, + more; music from Iggy Pop, Deadmau5, Kate Bush, Serge Gainsbourg, Florence + the Machine, the Bangles, & more! Please share! www.mixcloud.com/KOPN/late-wi...
all they removed was the "don't"
yeah that's the move, there
remember: let your hair cool WHILE it's set - only take them out after they are cool
wait WHUT
Yeah, I am short! Also old and cubby because I never say no to dessert. Still fabulous tho, and I do have sheets like that!
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!
It’s a great look! Love that movie
Indeed (scowling at my left knee)
It really is.
Sending big love
This is why we are friends ♥️
A picture of who I’ll turn into? I think we can all see this one coming
This look is perfection, no notes
you guys shouldn't encourage me, because I just did it and it's the dumbest thing ever. I'm leaving it in. 😂
I'm recording next week's episode (School) today, and reading a bit from Cameron Crowe's 1981 book that Fast Times at Ridgemont High was based on. I am SO VERY tempted to do a total valley girl/the Californians read...Maybe you should talk me out of it...
With proper Feng Shui you can probably arrange the space for all your needs!
I open this episode with some wise words about Labor Day from Eugene V. Debs that are worth reflecting on. But then I get straight to the loud music and the fun story about Anthony Bourdain and the poems and whatnot. Please listen & share! Free/Ad-free www.mixcloud.com/KOPN/late-wi...
Pssst- you up?
Being kind is punk rock. 🤘
Bless us every one
You really should have it
So grateful to @oldfilmsflicker.bsky.social for continuing this important annual tradition that makes my day better. A lot better.
Feels right. My time has come.
yeah, you know, head scarves and a red lip; a vaguely unhinged daffy old dame bit. Decide I'm a sunflower or maybe engage in dark arts WHO KNOWS.
Clyde seemed like a pleasant co-pilot, so sure, why not!
Imma have a Ruth Gordon Autumn. I’ll just be tiny and eccentric, date a younger man with a cool car, maybe join a cult.
Bahahaaaaa!!!! My government name is “peace” in another language, and also the poetic name for the place of my ancestors
definitely!!!

🔥
oh perfect! what shoe/stocking situation are you pairing with it?
😂😂😂
Still, the leftover emotion and worry from the dream is rough. Just know I’m sending peaceful vibes your way. Maybe yes will help!
So your NYE look is settled! Love it! You look gorgeous as always
Hey, sending love to you, my friend
♥️♥️♥️
Happy birthday you handsome devil 💋💋💋
UGH - working on the playlist for an end of summer/autumn show, and WHY IS EVERY SONG ABOUT THIS TIME OF YEAR A SLOOOOOOW BUMMER? Some of us love this time of year and feel energized by it!
Totally!
Isn’t it grand? My mom gave it to me!😂
It is a gloriously beautiful day, perfect blue skies and exactly the right temperature and my dog and I have been drinking it in all morning
Literally, I am right now writing an episode of my radio show about exactly this!
Omg you are such a nerd 😂♥️
New Late, tomorrow at Midnight. Gonna talk about Anthony Bourdain, rad librarians, late 70s trends in book covers, and more. Music from Iggy Pop, the Dum Dum Girls, Kate Bush, Florence + the Machine, Deadmau5, and more. Tune in tomorrow, Boppers, I’m back!
omg
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
“Getting your seasons done” style color theory for the ladies is rooted in racism, MLMs, and is totally a thing that happens when culture swings conservative. Fuck off with your swatches and fake consultations, Susan, no one wants to hear you blather about undertones
This scans like a Sondheim lyric
I’m looking Minnesota, feeling California….
I am unreasonably excited about the new Florence + the Machine record. One more reason to look forward to Halloween 🖤
Well thank goodness for the on demand option, eh? ♥️
thanks Buddy! the station was really great about giving me some leave after my Pop died - and now I'm back in a rad time slot! (Although I'm guessing you listen straight from the Mixcloud?)
