I was genetically predisposed to buy this album. Metallica was too much of an important part of my musical development growing up that I can't not check out anything new from them, despite diminishing returns since the 90s.

Refactory Obdurate gets constant rotation from me. I love Wovenhand.

That George Wallace thing amazing.

I liked the Marilyn Mason/Sneaker Pimps song. Long Hard Road Out of Hell, I think? For Whom the Bell Tolls was absolute trash.

And Dumb and Dumber.

At the RNC on Monday, Trump showed us when America was last great.

That was more entertaining than it should have been. I remember asking it to take the mask off. The chicken walked up to the camera and shook its feather-finger in a "Nu-uh, Charlie" manner.

Further down the rabbit hole. The lead-off comment is from someone who claims to have had an incestuous relationship with her father and got mad at her mom for calling her dad a "monster". Then she takes Gethard to task for doing the same with this woman's ex-husband.

Welp, I just listened to that Beautiful Anonymous episode. Wow. And then I read the Earwolf comments on the episode.

I assume it's the same area, otherwise, wow Florida, but there was an interesting article in GQ last year about this that's worth a read.

Campbell's set seemed like a prepared stand-up routine, so they probably decided not to include it because it'd be the same 20 minutes at the start of each one. Maybe?

Especially the rhyme for the toonie.

I was at the 7pm Boston show. Pure joy. It's one thing to hear PFT break, it's another thing entirely to watch it unfold.

Does she get to keep the Indiegogo money she raised for the documentary even if she never finishes it?

Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan still get lots of listens from me. I'm unapologetically looking forward to Gore's release next week.

This is my opportunity to finally eat 4 pounds of Lauren Lapkus's hair.

I went to see Oh Hello at the Wilbur this past Friday night. It's a good venue for this type of thing, I think.

Is Seeso the Tidal of television?

Do they kill baby Hitler?
