    I’ve been meaning to put something up about this. While I was researching American Utopia because of how intriguing DB’s personality is, I found out he’s slightly autistic/Asperger’s. I thought that explained a lot.

    I've seen American Utopia in theaters twice - it's not a static piece, the second time was quite different from the first. So even if you've seen the movie, go see it live if you get a chance.

    Currently reading Love Goes to Buildings on Fire, history of music in the 70s in NYC. Hasn't even gotten to the mid 70s yet and it's already fantastic. Takes forever to read though - you have to keep stopping to listen to songs on spotify.
    y'all
    read this book

    I remember distinctly sitting on my balcony in Manhattan 7+ years ago, reading this, listening to the album ( which wasnt my fav, I was a Remain in Light or SOngs about Buildings guy) slowly smoking a spliff and just being transfixed.

    Great news. I have the Bluray and some of the footage is grainy . particularly the darker scenes. I'm sure with modern tech they can use algorithms to spruce it up
