TIL that Target as "TAR-jay" goes back to the first store in Roseville, Minn. and they once sold a shoe line themselves called "Miss Targé"
while we're exploring the Francophone/gay guy pop girl universe: the video is by Melchior Leroux, who also directed a video for "Thrill Of The Night" by Sébastien Tellier (who represented France at Eurovision in 2008) with Slayyyter providing a truly tremendous vocal www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSWD...
Confessions II's "My Sins Are My Savior" has a feat. credit to Belgian rapper Stromae, but I haven't seen much talk about how he also has one on a new Tove Lo single, "des fleurs," which has a remarkable stop-motion cut-out collage, tarot card and vintage wash video www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SWS...
James Branch Cabell, pioneering author of what we have come to know as "fantasy," was of a Virginian patrician family, and in 1947 published "Let Me Lie," a scathing treatise on the manners and customs of that caste. Here he describes, in a fashion I consider definitive, what "tacky" actually means
found this when I was researching "do English people like. say 'jellyhead'" (they do not)
had the worst time of my life trying to identify a "song" where I remembered details of the music video and the tune of the chorus. turns out to be "Jellyhead" by "Crush" which was ?? recorded by a fictional pop duo?? on a BBC teen soap opera called "Byker's Grove" !? www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6Qz...
Tiffany Day's HALO is going to be one of my fav dance-pop/electronic albums of this year, it opens with a diptych of the pleading poetic "Everything I've Ever Wanted" and rips right into the banging, ecstatic "DOIT4ME" www.youtube.com/watch?v=afhy...

happy last day of pride month to Deborah Vance, an icon of bisexual understanding
the sign in the yard behind me here in South Minneapolis says it's 822 miles to "Fairyland," which means it's not on the way to my Speech Pathology appointment so I won't be visiting today, but I'll keep it in mind
compressed version of Mink Stole in John Waters' DESPERATE LIVING (1977) on the matter of the American judiciary
get one (1) traumatic brain injury and you start getting targeted ads like this. this is real this happened to me just now
went to the closet to retrieve my t-shirt that puts a 4-H twist on it to go even deeper down the regionalism vortex
my friends took me to a buffet/salad bar place next to a retirement community in a delicious 1988-ass building in Edina, Minn. (my first time outside the Minneapolis city limits since my crash!) for dinner, needless to say I loved the experience
Happy Pride to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn., I'm not well enough to come to the parties so I give you the gift of a reminder that if you're holding one, you can and should put Kylie Minogue - "Love At First Sight" on the playlist www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf42...
every time I go into Whole Foods I get another "you bitches can't do anything correctly"
a week ago I had to bail on my walk for a doughnut halfway there realizing I might have trouble getting back, and the doughnut deferred has been haunting me ever since, but today I'm a little stronger and me and this brown butter glazed beauty made it back to my porch with a little energy to spare 🍩
reading the patient stories section of the Hennepin County Medical Center TBI clinic's website and choking up at the physical therapist developing a way for a teenager to practice cattle showing
hearing a drag queen from St. Catharines, Ontario 🇨🇦 mimic the DROP DEAD GORGEOUS (1999) flavor of the Minnesota accent as part of a mini-challenge has sent me into lower-earth orbit
