90% recovered from pneumonia, 8pl8s RETURNS (I'm back) for a display of love for the GRAND album Mezzanine (1998) by Bristol band MASSIVE ATTACK.

With a cinematic twist, namely the use of the band's music in House M.D. (2004 - 2012), the Wachowskis' The Matrix (1999), Guy Ritchie's Snatch (2000), Wong Kar-Wai's Fallen Angels (1995), and how Mezzanine's album art reminds me of the opening credits of David Fincher's adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011).

(halfway) BACK from the dead to dig through the ABOMINATION called California Son (2019) with the REAL California son ⁠Glen Rockney⁠ of ⁠Rare Candy⁠

I love Morrissey. You love your uncle. We're the same person.

SECOND episode of a limited 8pl8s series on Steven Patrick Morrissey (/ˈmɒrɪsi/ MORR-iss-ee; born 22 May 1959), known mononymously as Morrissey. While he's most well-known for his contribution to The Smiths, his solo work is some of the most personal, touching music I've ever had the privilege of hearing. A privilege I indulge in on a daily basis.

"I love Morrissey. You love your uncle. We're the same person."

Hitting it solo on this first episode of a limited 8pl8s series on Steven Patrick Morrissey (/ˈmɒrɪsi/ MORR-iss-ee; born 22 May 1959), known mononymously as Morrissey. While he's most well-known for his contribution to The Smiths, his solo work is some of the most personal, touching music I've ever had the privilege of hearing.

I was confined to a Couche-Tard gas station for this ep so the audio sucks but this episode is a GARGANTUAN WIN. Everyone agrees. Also, check out my new appearance on //MOVIES with the boys

Screenwriter & filmmaker RYAN JACKSON, of Mutual Aberration Society (podcast) and Wildflower with Tyrese Gibson (film), joins me on 8pl8s to discuss Sean Baker's latest and Palme d'Or Winner Anora (2024), starring Mikey Madison, Mark Eidelstein, and this show's sweetheart Karren Karagulian. Lots of other stuff too probably but my bus to NYC is leaving in 23 minutes and I can't type it all out. I've, of course, famously said that listening to the entire episode is the best summary.

Personal trainer & personal friend (!) THOM, of Unironiczyzzposting, joins me on 8pl8s to discuss Pearl Jam's hit debut album from 1991: Ten.
