A song so transgressively powerful it made way for a whole new kind of rock and roll, and a cover that makes something old new again in the best possible way. Heart of Glass, originally by Blondie, covered by Nick Shoulders.

Guitar shop going out of business. Have I played any of the many stringed instruments I already own in ages? Obvs no. So, anyway, here’s my new vintage parlor guitar w/mostly easily fixable surface damage. And I didn’t bring home a kitten from the rescue next door. Financially sound decisions FTW.

REM really led me to overestimate how fine I’d feel at the end of the world. I’m glad I saw what was left of Mendenhall Glacier when I had the chance.
Officials in Alaska are warning that ice melt from a glacier high above the capital of Juneau could pose a threat to homes and businesses in the inundation zone.
