It fills my heart with joy when the light turns red and there’s no other cars around.

Me at 7:15 am: Maggie, could you come down here?

Maggie half asleep: Okay…

Me: Come down quick! There’s a chipmunk in the house and I can’t ward off the H-K’s.

Maggie: H-K’s?

Me: Hunter-Killers. Patrol machines built in automated factories.

Me: The Terminators are infiltration units: part cat, part machine. Underneath, they’re a hyperalloy combat-chassis, microprocessor-controlled. Fully armored, very tough. But outside, they’re living feline tissue: flesh, skin, hair, blood - grown for the cyborgs…

Me: Those Terminators are down here. They can’t be bargained with. They can’t be reasoned with. They don’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop… ever, until that chipmunk is dead!

Okay, that’s not really how the conversation went down but seriously…when there’s a chipmunk in the house, the cats go ballistic. Cyberdyne Systems Model 101.

For Your Eyes Only was the first Bond movie I ever watched. And I watched it over and over again.

Because that’s what you do when you’re 10.

Trump Told Russians That Firing “€˜Nut Job”€™ Comey Eased Pressure From Investigation

WASHINGTON — President Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office this month that firing the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, had relieved “great pressure” on him, according to a document summarizing the meeting.

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

Mr. Trump added, “I’m not under investigation.”

The conversation, during a May 10 meeting — the day after he fired Mr. Comey — reinforces the notion that the president dismissed him primarily because of the bureau’s investigation into possible collusion between Mr. Trump’s campaign and Russian operatives. Mr. Trump said as much in one televised interview, but the White House has offered changing justifications for the firing.

Peeps, here’s your Flume jam for Monday.

Flume is the best and this is best + 1 since it’s two of my most fave songs spliced together.

1. Tove Lo on Say It … “speak it like a real freak”
2. Kai on Never Be Like You … “tell me everything’s okay”

And it’s live. If I could sing like either Tove Lo or Kai I would. All the time. And you’d get sick of it.

And lastly, if you’d dont have Flume’s Skin disc you’re missing out.

I’ve been waiting for this since the Prometheus credits rolled.

Would it be rude to tell the neighbor to park his fleet somewhere else? 🤔

He’s got six cars in the cul-de-sac alone and three more by his garage in the alley.

With Maggie being gone today and the March 2017 magazine off to the printer, the only logical thing for me to do was not cut the grass but to work on the April 2017 issue.

But with me being me and the Internet being rabbit holes, I got sucked into watching Pixie videos. So without further ado, here’s your said-the-lady-to-the-man-she-adored Sunday jam.

I love everything about this song. That it’s live. That it’s haunting. That each instrument has its own unique voice and place. The jangling acoustic guitar. The wailing lead guitar riffs. The clean, round bass carrying the mix. The drum taps that come in about 1:36 and the bass still holding the melody. Ain’t no choice but to nod and sway to the groove.

And of course the lyrics.

If you go, I will surely die. We’re chained.

When I listen, the lyrics surely seem to be written by way of experience. Sang with that same emotion, too.

HEY!

Kim Deal’s backing “chained” — same thing. With her head titled slightly around 1:16, she looks innocently and sincerely desperate.

“Been trying to meet you” — okay, that was me up and down the street as a teenager. I’ll deny it though.

And I’ve always wondered who Mary was but I never wanted to find out.

PS- Whenever I recorded music I generally wanted the rhythm guitar to be acoustic. Pixies are the reason why.

Because Joan Jett.
