The Gerard Cosloy Radio Hour (That Feels Like Two Hours)

I try not to get too personal in this space but I will admit this has been an especially difficult week for me. With so much else in the world falling apart, I was tasked with watching the debut of Blake Griffin’s new pseudo “Weekend Update” vehicle, “The Stepback With Blake Griffin”, and after losing however many precious brain cells I had left, I can say the program really should be called “The (Career) Setback With Blake Griffin (And Whatever Handlers Thought They Could Make Him As U...

it’s either a sad commentary on my particular obsessions or how ferociously predictable I am that nearly a half dozen of you took the time to forward Wattie’s recent Instagram cattle call for a new guitarist for The Exploited.

The unfortunate, inexcusable events just a stone's throw from the EVR studios --- in which a longtime proprietor of a cookbook store was arrested after tangling with the security team supervising the endless queue for the Amex Harry Styles pop-up --- have completely overshadowed a recent harrowing experience of my own.
