Just a note that Ann Selzer herself has pushed back on the “gold standard” label. From a 2016 piece from @daveweigel after Selzer missed on the Iowa GOP caucuses
As a former student (2010-15 era), this was a deeply cathartic read

I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes…
At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh..
It was comfy, it was quiet
In hindsight, too good to last…
can't believe they don't mention International Rock Sensation @TheHives

this was a ridiculous amount of fun
After leaving our sweaty London show in the wake of our destruction, we’ve decided it would be wise to 35X Hives stock. There are rumours of a new tour. You know the drill with these kind of things. Sign up to the mailer & pre-order the album.

Amazing Grace in the 56th over for Grace and Barnaby, two cricket lovers lost way too soon in Nottingham this week ❤️
56 was Barnaby’s playing number and ‘Amazing Grace’ for Grace.
Our thoughts again with all involved including Ian Coates.

Listening to my Spotify Discover Weekly - 30 songs, most of which I'd not heard before - every week this year has been the only resolution I have ever kept. So, to celebrate, I'm going to share some of the good stuff that came up

And finally, this one came up this week! I've known of Ty Segall for a while but never found a route into the music, so this was a great opportunity to get into him. It's the magic of the playlist and why I'm going to carry on this resolution
