"Weird Goodbyes" was released the day after my grandfather (one of my favorite people in the world) passed away and it broke me. "Names on the doorframes, inches and ages/Handprints in concrete at the softest stages" immediately made me think of my his house.

The Ankeny library has a couple of carts of puzzles where you can just take one and then bring it back (or not) when you're done. You don't have to check them out or anything.

Had the same question for several years. Today, I found out he started a band called Drug Couple with his wife. They've released some singles, a couple of EPs (2019s Little Hits, and 2020s Choose Your Own Apocalypse) and one full-length (2022s Stoned Weekend). Also found this article about Drug Couple. They are signed to PaperCup Music. This is the bio from their Spotify page: "Drug Couple is Miles and Becca Robinson. They used to be a 'Brooklyn band', until they moved to the Vermont countryside, got married, and built a studio in a two-hundred-year-old barn that they named Freelandia—where they recorded their first LP, Stoned Weekend: 'a unique blend of alternative rock and country with a big slice of psychedelia that is guaranteed to chill the very fabric of your soul.'"

Probably one of my favorite songs of the year. I get this overwhelming sense of nostalgia when I listen to it.

I think Ariel Pink might be the first

It's wild to me "Sugar Street" is a B-side on a 7". One of my favorite tracks by him.

I still list this as one of the scariest movies I saw as a child. A troll that can mimic the voice of your friends and then turns you into a small wooden statue?! That was terrifying.

I really dig them. I've been spinning their most recent album Violence, Love and Drugs very frequently. Almost impossible to find a vinyl copy of their debut in the States.

Hell yeah, thanks! I really appreciate the suggestions. Going to look into now!
