One thing about John Mulaney, he’s gonna put a horse in his Netflix Special.

“There’s a horse loose in the hospital!”

“There’s this thing called Equine Therapy.”

good morning solely to the guy who is losing his shit in comeback kid. you're my favorite

Look I am OBSESSED w them and I LOVE both of these scenes, however I have an issue w both of these scenes existing w out any resolution!

The first one is from the last ep of s5, they never mention it in s6 and they dont even get back together, so it was useless. The second is the last ep of s6, where April leaves after this ep, they don't see each other til the first ep of s8 and again NOTHING CAME FROM IT!! Even if there was a scene where April tells Ethan she got into the NP program and she's leaving and they decide to hold off until she's done and he's better, OR they date in the background off screen while he's recovering and she's in her program!

Litterally ANYTHING would've been better than just leaving these scenes as they are w no explanation or resolution.

Marnie Stern — The Comeback Kid (Joyful Noise)

A decade ago, when we last had a Marnie Stern album to consider, she was a beacon of instrumental prowess in a world of “Women who rock” features that largely confined themselves to singers. She was a shredder then and a shredder now, and dare we hope, the world has shifted so that this is no longer so remarkable? In any case, her latest album, The Comeback Kid, is full of shimmering, ultra fanciful castles of guitar-based sound, but it’s also kind of an experimental pop gem, like Deerhoof after a month of Guitar Hero or like OOIOO any time, really.

Stern has spent the last 10 years in ways both unsurprising (she had two kids now) and mildly unusual (she plays guitar on in Late Night’s 8G band). As a result, she sounds both refreshed from the hiatus and in sharp form from the practice. This is, of course, a contradiction, but makes sense when you think about it. Playing other people’s music five nights a week is very different from making your own songs and touring them.

In any case, she is audibly raring to go, in “Believing is Seeing.” She builds a song right in front of us, asking “What if I add this? And then?” and then adding it, big crashing power chords, antic dances of off kilter picking, handclaps, sugar-rush, girl-group shouts and refrains. “Don’t bow down,” she confides before launching the wholly, gloriously excessive “Working Memory” and then DOESN’T BOW DOWN. Instead she launches a Cecil B. DeMille production of an art punk song, with trebly choirs and neck warping firestorms of electric guitar wizardry. It’s the grand finale of all grand finales, but hold on, the album’s not even half over yet.

You’ve still got the stop-start giddy assault of “Earth Eater,” for instance, showcasing rapid-fire bursts of percussion and, again, guitar, as well as fizzy, popping, girl sung choruses that have something very Japanese about them. It’s here that I’m going to pull the Wendy Eisenberg card just because I can think of no other female artist with comparable chops and experimental pop tendencies, but Stern is pure pleasure where Eisenberg can sometimes seem a puzzle maker. You can turn it all off and enjoy The Comeback Kid—or listen in and enjoy the details. (Like that Van Halen solo right at the end of “Earth Eater.”)

Celebrate the comeback, sure, but it sounds like a big bang beginning.

Just a nomad saying good night to their baby.

the wording of ‘The Taylor Versions’ on the cover of Time Magazine… it’s giving ‘and also with you’
