A quirky Michael Cera vehicle I really liked but not solely because of him.
Hannah Cross and Sophia Lillis are terrific and nuanced as his somewhat estranged sisters.
Trauma and loss shape all families. Who then grow up and have to create new relationships with each other beyond just early sibling bonds.
And Men At Workâs best song (by a country mile) fits perfectly into a lovely little reunion vignette. â¤ď¸

One of the more interesting and original movies Iâve seen this year. Itâs more than the premise suggests, and way more than your typical wannabe Kaufman and/or Kafka story. Provocative, daring, and really quite funny.
Also I canât get âI Wanna Get Next To Youâ out of my head.

this is such a strangely profound movie with so much heart that ive formed some odd bond with over the years
the vibe of the coastal rhode island town
the relatable weirdness of extended family
the ever-comforting steve carrell 'sad guy' archetype
a coming of age b-plot from the perspective of a parent that plays into the overall theme of the film
the feel of the family cabin
the very mid 2000's musical choices
cant recommend this stupid little romcom enough

Hey tyler hopefully this doesnât violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I canât wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! â¤ď¸

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s.
So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it:
âUnwound is the best band of the â90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesnât say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasnât stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the â90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.â
R.I.P. Vern Rumsey.
This is their finest song, from their finest album.
I really canât say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. đ¤
