#5 on the Pop Culture Countdown of Moments That Were/Are of No Significance To You- Charlie Sheen's Apocalyptic Meltdown

Oh, hey. Did you think I got bored of this? Well I did not. Life happens and I'm easily tired/bored/lazyyyyyy.

So, we're halfway there. Hold my hand. Halfway there.

#6 on the Pop Culture Countdown of Moments That Were/Are of No Significance To You- Charlie Sheen's Apocalyptic Meltdown

Oh hell yes.


Charlie. Charlie Sheen. What. How? How could I not?

I was obsessed with this when it all went down; true story. I guess that's a little embarrassing and maybe shameful in retrospect but how could you not love watching this man go insane? Still to this day, I'm not sure the cultural relevance of what went down. He had the world and he just snapped. Bret Easton Ellis called it a reaction to American culture- I could see that- but Bret also is writing the screenplay for  Fifty Shades of Gray so it is what it is.

It was just so great to witness all the prostitutes and drugs go to Charlie's head. And he stood up to his awful television show and guess what? Charlie Sheen emerged the winner, even if we got bored of him rather fast, as we consumers do. He's on car commercials with hot Italian models and his hair's kind of weird and he's got a show on cable. Which I'm still not sure about, but....

#WINNING

question:  any other public meltdowns come to mind?

Meanwhile, Denise Richards...

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

"Anchors" - AM Higgins

Here's a nice breezy, almost sensual song from AM Higgins (the solo project of musician Annie Toth) to start your Tuesday off right.  Her debut album "Hymning" will be out November 5th on Victorialand Records. The album was mixed by Casey Foubert, a frequent collaborator of Sufjan Stevens. The album "captures the first years of moving from an American city to rural France." Sounds like "Hymning" will be a welcome escape from the world we live in right now, especially considering that Annie Toth counts poets Mary Oliver and Thomas Merton as influences.

Summer Playlist - 2022 Edition!

 It's truly the little things in life that make a world of difference. And for me, that means my summer playlist! Behold, I have put together 2022's edition. It includes cuts from artists like: - Mitski - Uffie - Johnny Orlando - Kylie Minogue + Jessie Ware - Florence and the Machine (who put out a fantastic album this year after a long dry spell of kind of "meh" records. Her pairing with Jack Antonoff worked out quite well!)  - Bilal - Harry Styles (he has some catchy music!)  - KATE BUSH DUH - And of course, Lana. It's also available on Apple Music, but since I recognize a lot of folks use Spotify, here's that link. Enjoy!
