any record will do - i‘ve been stuck on Snockgrass lately. he’s the wizard of whimsy, the king of quirk, a true hot dog. he can capture joy, melancholy, goof, and hopeless sadness in one verse, while almost exclusively employing simple language (aside from the occasional made up word)
if you’re up a little earlier than the rest of the city and need a soundtrack for your foggy morning commute, Doc Snock is your man. he lives in the PNW now but was a Village boy back in the day, probably bouncing around town with the likes of Van Ronk and other Greenwich legends
god bless Elwood Snock

an old roommate found this seemingly relatively obscure grimy gay Canadian poetry book on the sidewalk in Montreal maybe 15 years ago. i wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s particularly good but it has a certain charm to it and I’m glad I have it. I like to think that he lives with a partner and some cats in Victoria, BC now or something but like probably not..

I’m going through Mojo Nixon‘s discography right now and it’s fantastic - I had never heard of him before!
It’s poignant and more powerful because they’re gone and their indelible mark has been permanently established in the annals of history.
It’s also a powerful reminder we only get one kick at the can of life!

eat one as soon as you wake up, as often as possible. i’ve been obsessed with the blueberry and cheese danish at marcy & myrtle lately
i roll out of bed, walk to the coffee shop, get an iced red eye and a danish then try to get back to my apartment before i shit myself
