What's New - Music and Movies
There’s nothing quite like waking up Monday after a devastating Bills loss. Yes, I’m, unfortunately, one of the poor saps that allow sports to dictate their life. I envy those who don’t care or think of anything sports-related as a bore. Oh, how I wish I didn’t care. I suppose I could someday.
Regardless, with the year ending, here are a few music projects I’ve worked on this year and a few of my favorite movies of the year so far. Also hope your holiday was great, and you can expect my review of The Holdovers tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.
