Witching & Bitching, ’90s Hollywood & Concrete Blonde’s “Tomorrow, Wendy,”

Taking a slight detour today. I'm smack dab in the middle of writing up my last "80's Weekend" post, which has been up against the usual challenges of time, energy, and motivation.

Soft Kill’s “Trying Not to Die”

After a few restless/sleepless nights, some perceived anxiety about the now-dominant and highly contagious Delta variant, the subsequent postponement of a Foo Fighters July 17th Forum show due to Covid, and a Loki finale that fractured the Sacred Timeline into a universe that too closely mirrors our own, I've decided to slow the roll and …
