Reflecting on an unsuccessful recording session for “Murmur” that the band had with the glossy New Wave producer Stephen Hague, the record executive Jay Boberg tells Carlin that “their artistic impulses about what they should and shouldn’t do were dead-on.”

OK fair enough but where do I get my ears on that unsuccess? Even though he's a Mainer (a thing I just learned), S.Hague made tons of glittery UK pop that still rings my bell.

maybe this'll be my new look. wristbands on biceps, matching scarf, pants.

Taking joy from the little things, when possible. Nik Kershaw on Publix Radio. Surprise: it’s the slower original, not the glossier Pretty in Pink version.

Dear Pam,

Thank you for your continued service to our library system.

As you know, the heat index will hover in the high 80s all of this week and next.

As libraries are (for now) places where accuracy and truth still matter, please leave your winter clothes and campfires in the Fiction aisle… or perhaps somewhere in Dewey 904. “History — Collected Accounts of Events”

Swelteringly yours,

I've mentioned in the past that often we have one morning in late summer (typically in late August) where the weather is unseasonably autumn-like, so I can open all the windows and play old REM albums. That day, improbably, is today. Oct. 8.

Gives me a chance to air out the house before the evacuees arrive from points South.
