Happy Birthday
Another 'stack around the sun!
It’s officially been one full year of catchdini dot substack dot com!
Thanks for reading and sharing. Extra thanks if you hit the tip jar.
Paid or not, I truly enjoy putting in the reps and getting some bars off. Plus, it’s legitimately fun to share new favs with old friends (love your txts) and complete strangers once a week.
Artists support artists!
My homie suggested training an LLM on the last twelve months of posts to make an AI version of me...
Can’t say I’m particularly interested in that scenario (if I’m being severed from my consciousness and immortalized, would prefer to be a Real Doll) but it is true that you’re getting fishscale NickBrain all up in yr inbox, week after week. Silly, sincere, unfiltered.
No stepped on musings!
If you love music, here’s semi-lucid ruminations on NoahSoCold, Ginger Root, the wistful banger, The Presidents Of The United States Of America, GnR, Jack Harlow, Soca sleeves, Schnipper’s Deep Voices, Mk.gee, The Scorpions (in Chrome Hearts), Fabolous (in middle age), Brat Summer, Body Glove Rock, UK music mags, WSOU, smoking with Snoop, hanging with TV On The Radio, Christmas songs, Yacht Rock, Swizz Beatz sampling Space, and my own music (duh) plus all sorts of random records and weekly playlists.
If you love movies, watchThe Brutalist, Beau Is Afraid, Aggro Dr1ft, a Ferris Bueller / Sorcerer double feature, selections from the Friday The 13th and Alien franchises, the ‘90s Super Mario Bros and the ‘80s Blob, Hudson Hawk, Donnie Darko, Johnny Mnemonic and *both* Bennifer marriage movies with the kid. (Related: finally joined Letterboxd!)
If you love DJing, heck tips on how to get started, some demo etiquette, a couple Lot Radio / EVR sets, and (most importantly) Hanx on the 1s and 2s.
If you love TV, add Mr & Mrs Smith, X-Men ‘97, house shows, dance shows, and slept-on Netflixer Obliterated to ur queue.
If you love random shit, here’s links, links, links, links and more links. Plus recipes, Tupac’s tennis shoes, cigar catalog existentialism and (alleged) CEO assassins.
If you love ALL THIS STUFF…
Then you are my people.
