Henry Rollins talked on Rick Rubin’s podcast about retiring from music:
The smart thing I did as a younger man was one day I woke up in my bed and I went, ‘I’m done with music. I don’t hate it. I just have no more lyrics. There’s no more toothpaste in the tube. Luckily, I had enough movies, voiceover, documentary work, writing, talking, where that just filled in, and now I’m busier than ever. But I walked away before I had to start saying, ‘Hey, kids, remember this one?’ So I didn’t have to put it on and go up there and put on the dog and yelp for my dinner.

I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and happy holidays. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. We will be on a more relaxed posting schedule over the next few days, as the music industry is basically in hibernation. All of us are working on finalizing our best of the year lists and we’ll have those to share with you in early January.1

Happy Christmas Eve!
With tomorrow being a holiday, I figured I’d try and write up my newsletter a little earlier to make sure something got written up. It was a slower music week, but there are some thoughts on new stuff (Half Past Two, Hot Mulligan) as well as some revisited classics (The Ataris), and a run-through of my quest for decent masks, automating changing macOS icons, and commentary on other entertainment I consumed over the past week.
This week’s supporter Q&A post can be found here.

Various Blink-182 Stems
It’s a ridiculously slow news week … but I did recently see someone posted up a bunch of Blink-182 music stems, after Mark Hoppus joined The Session to talk about “What’s My Age Again?” and popped in to talk about “Feeling This” as well.
Read More “Various Blink-182 Stems”Review: Sarah and the Safe Word – “Solstice”
You have to love a band that maps out their content just perfectly. On the first day of the winter solstice, Sarah and the Safe Word have returned once again with an expansive and heavy single called “Solstice.” From the opening lines of, “A little crow, he came to me / And asked what to do with the snow / We tried and tried to sweep it clean, but the cold / It continued to blow,” the band immediately transports the listener to the world created by them, and it matches the cover art nicely. It also ends up being one of the longer songs in Sarah and the Safe Word’s discography, and yet it makes for a thrilling listen for every single beat.
