Hopstretch

Not a new band, but fits a mood occasionally.

That's why the annual predictability of same form factor, slightly faster processor, slightly nicer display, slightly better camera is so comforting to us. Bless.

I was going to get a Duo, but now think I'll hold off and upgrade to an 18 Pro Max instead. Gruber's "it's a great tablet but a lousy phone" take seems about right to me. Daring FireballThe iPhone DuoIt’s been a lot of fun trying the Duo out for a week, but it feels like I’ve gotten to use an extraordinarily polished prototype — not a finished product that I’d want to buy and carry.

Alec is a huge APP fan. Regularly sends me tracks.

It's pleasingly golden.

Surprisingly funky outing from Echo & The Bunnymen in these latter days?

A bit obscure. Still enjoy.

100% buying an iPhone Duo on Day 1. I viscerally need that shit.

Got to be honest I don't even know what OS I am running anymore. WTF even is Golden Gate 27.0.1? If my MacBook doesn't crash and I can get my email I'm in old-fart heaven.

This one kind of stings. In 1994, I was totally in love with this fantastic girl called Nicky and she ditched me for another guy that she's still married to. He has all his hair, does triathlons and sh1t and they have three strapping sons, so honestly pretty great call from Nicky in retrospect. 🤷‍♂️

I have concluded it's not just a me thing and they actually kick ass. Do with this what you will.

If you typed "design a band to make Stretch squee" into Claude, this would probably come out. 🫠

Old fave and likely posted before but whatevs.

Unsurprisingly, I am so in for this.

13 years ago. I missed it. It's still great. That's the great thing about music?

Little bit out of my normal wheelhouse. Drove Alec back to Dallas today and he made me listen to country all the way.

Couldn't afford a video but it's still a vibe.

From the file of covers that are WAY better than the original.

This is in my top 10 favorite songs ever. With obviously some Cure stuff and Talking Heads and Rammstein etc.
