I’m also now enjoying The Information and to a lesser extent Modern Guilt.

I finished I Am The Cosmos recently…it’s very good, though Bell’s singing is frequently terrible. He was the cofounder of Big Star and both he and Alex Chilton sang. Bell left the band after their first album though and went on to end up working in his dad’s restaraunt and died in a crash in 1978.

I’m rewatching The Wire right now and I’d like to do a retrospective post on it but I bet no one will read it at all.

Hidden Fortress is the one that was most influential on Star Wars.
