- Halloween. My toddler had a cold but delightful time trundling around in his cardboard plane. He was a little confused why we couldn’t “go to neighbors’ houses!” anytime we want.
- Surely You’re Joking Mr. Feynman! (Richard Feynman). I’m not sure what I expected, picking up the memoir by a Nobel Prize-winning physicist—but it was not this. A profoundly weird, funny, and pretty inappropriate little book.
- Everything I Thought I Knew About Nasal Congestion Is Wrong. I know more about my nose!
- The Fight Between Musicians and Venues Over Merch Profits Is a Big Deal With a Simple Solution. This fascinating piece of music journalism answers a question I’ve long wondered but never been able to answer: Why is all the merch at shows so goddamn expensive?
- The Aristocats. The animated classic hasn’t aged too well—but it does have some killer tunes, including the absolute banger “Everybody Wants to Be A Cat.”
- Praise a Lord Who Chews but Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds) (Yves Tumor). This album is a blast.
- “Joan of Arc.” Been loving this Leonard Cohen song, especially the cover by Jennifer Warnes.
