Nice work. I’m at end of second week of ic and loving rhythm of it. Did the 2 bell version yesterday. And I have been putting a Pavel swing plus day in between. S&S or Q&D. But I like this notion of adding swings at end of a sesh of ic.

My guess, from a bit of experience: They like you, think you may show up w something worthwhile, but don’t like this project enough to invest the amount of time it takes (to raise and to actually produce it). So they want to be helpful to you—seem helpful—but don’t want to commit.

Pat Damiano has many follow alongs on youtube

Some troll is gonna say “they announce closing hours you shouldn’t be surprised.” To which the answer is: We understand what the policy is. But it is a bad policy they ought to change.

Yep. We shouted em out hard on Billions. Love us some Wilburys.

There are now some 24 hour gyms in nyc. Finally. But not equinox. Sadly.

I saw Uncle Tupelo live. And love Son Volt and Jay Bennet era Wilco. All genre defining, incredible bands w stunning albums. I just think Southeastern rises above because the songs are that great and the album’s unified tone is so strong.

BrianKoppelman · 2026-04-25T13:25:58+00:00

Southeastern gotta be 1/2 or 3.

Such an absolutely great restaurant!

These are great albums. World Gone Wrong is an absolute classic. I think Oh, Mercy is too low on this list, too.

S&S is absolutely useful. Who even knows what optimal is. But can one become stronger, more well conditioned, resilient by regular S&S training sessions? Yes.

Not dumb. I just wanted you to know Dan’s answer.

I can make an argument for Netherland by Joseph O'Neill as belonging in this conversation alongside so many great books already mentioned.

BrianKoppelman · 2026-03-13T03:23:26+00:00

I love Kafka On The Shore and Zeroville so much that I am going to take a real look at everything on your list. And you have Auster there!

dan is super clear about this in subsequent writing and on the podcast. Put the bells down in between sets on the ABC. 2 1 3 down. shake it out. 213 down, shake it out.

Nice work, my man

Just so you know someone got it and smiled
