In 2024 I read 7 books. Pretty sad!
But I guess that's life as a parent. Anyway, my favorite was Counterweight, by Djuna.

Favorite songs from 2024!
It was a good year for music! Want proof? Well my list of favorite songs for this year has 10 songs instead of the normal 5. I think this music summarizes the "cool dad" vibe I am trying to put out there, but you can be the judge. As usual, most of the songs were from 2024, but a few were just ones I learned about in 2024 for the first time!
- Northern Attitude (Noah Kahan & Hozier): This song is great. It's about getting older, as is all good media. Don't believe whatever nonsense they have on Genius.com.
- Apple (Charli xcx): I have to be honest, brat didn't really do it for me, I think I have gotten a bit too old, but this song is a good one.
- Deeper Well (Kacey Musgraves): Kacey Musgraves has a pretty good Indie Country thing going.
- Close to You (Gracie Abrams): Did you know Gracie Abrams is JJ Abrams' daughter?!
- Illusion (Dua Lipa)
- Please Please Please (Sabrina Carpenter): This whole album is good and you should given it a listen. But the backstory to this one (her real-life now ex boyfriend is an Irish actor who causes a big scene every time they go out) is too funny.
Honorary entries that came out before 2024:
- Chaise Longue (Wet Leg): All day long
- The Place That Makes Me Happy (The Moss): I am going camping!
- See Her Out (Francis and the Lights): Heard this on FX's excellent The English Teacher! Watch and Listen.
- She Looks So Perfect (5 Seconds of Summer): The dumb fun I have come to expect from 5 Second of Summer.

5 Songs from 2023
Well Q1 was a doozy, so I have finally gotten around to compiling my 5 favorite songs from 2023! Here are my 5 favorites, only 3 months late:
- "Honey," by Samia - You should listen to the whole album, but this was the gateway song!
- "Sinner," by The Last Dinner Party - From what I understand the dinner party was pretty wild.
- "Modern Girl," by Bleachers - I have already completed burned myself out on this song, but it was my top 1 for several weeks. Real Bruce Springsteen vibes.
- "103," by The Kills - Yes, very awesome.
- "My Kink Is Karma," by Chappell Roan - Dang her album is great and I am sad that her show in Boulder is sold out. Don't be like me folks.
