Through crime and crusade, our labor it's been stolen

Because Hanscom hasn't held an air show in years, I have no idea what the hell passed over my parents' yard behind the unrelieved overcast except that it sounded like a heavy bomber, but not a modern one: an air-shaking piston-engined roar like who ordered the Flying Fortress, which were not to my knowledge even tested at the base. It suggested lost psychogeography and worried me.

Japanese Breakfast's "Picture Window" (2025) came around again on WERS as I was driving this afternoon. The line about ghosts and home keeps resonating beyond the pedal steel guitar.

I see we will be celebrating the Fourth of July out of spite this year. So go other holidays. Af tselokhes, John.

I like "heart breaking like a punch card" in that song. Also: you heard it on the radio, but my first experience of it is as a music video, and the story in the music video is a much stronger flavor than the gentle, kind of wistful lyrics and musical presentation of the song on its own. Did you watch it? It's visually well done, I thought! Glad it had a happy ending.

It suggested lost psychogeography .... I'm ready for times and places to start getting confused any moment now. Just another thing to have to survive -_- (but I'm glad in this case there was a reason for what you heard).

Yes! I loved the night-saturated look of it, too. In general, I don't link music videos without watching them because occasionally it turns out that I like a song and cannot say the same of its video.

I have felt that we are living through a twentieth-century remix for almost a decade now, but in the stupidest of ways. I want some variety.
