This is... the kind of thing I could almost see myself writing... "A list of topics that went through my head last night while watching the Dandy Warhols."
Also, this about James Iha (of the Smashing Pumpkins, which I don't particularly care for, but I digress) which I happened to come across awhile back in the past... it's somewhat quite something else when you read someone else's random writing and think that you could see yourself writing a similar thing, style and/or topic-wise...
Obscure and at least mildly obsessive thoughts about various topics is my jam. (I haven't watched any Peter Sarsgaard movies lately, alas, and "An Education" isn't on Netflix anymore... alas indeed. Maybe I should rewatch Shattered Glass. What a great movie. Are you mad at me?)
To a somewhat lesser extent, the Jake Gyllenhaal newsletter (look it up!) also kinda seemed like something I might do, although her writing style/voice was a bit more different than mine, compared to the first two examples.
What I have been doing lately (rather than watching more Peter Sarsgaard movies) is rewatching copious amounts of Arrested Development and wondering why no one's ever interviewed Jason Bateman about his cycling habits!! Inquiring minds want to know! Or at least my inquiring mind does.
Speaking of the Smashing Pumpkins... back in 2014 (apparently; I had to look it up) they released an album titled "Monuments to an Elegy," which I remembered that I had attempted to listen to, to see what it was like. For some reason I did that. I don't remember liking it. I decided to try and listen to one of the songs now, to revisit it and see what I thought... nope, still don't like it, and wow, I don't like Billy Corgan's voice!! 1979 is an okay song and sometimes I even feel like listening to it, but whoa, his voice is not a particularly appealing one... I supposed you could say that the Smashing Pumpkins are overrated.
