Red Scare

Get a couple of used copies of Paul Goldberger’s The City Observed, an architectural tour of Manhattan from the Custom House to Spuyten Duyvil. It’s out of print but it’s by far the best book on New York since Fitzgerald’s Lost City and will amaze you.

Anna has never and never will

Irritating, callow jerks who think playing with neo-fascism is somehow cool. And how edge-lord cool are they? They describe people with Downs Syndrome as “retards”. Yep. Then they giggle. And of course, there’s the “I’m not racist BUT (code code code)”… horsesh!t. Etcetera etcetera etcetera. Unimpressive, sophomoric, and silly. When these hosts finally grow up, they will look back at this part of their lives with embarrassment.

I love Red Scare. This podcast is my favorite of all time. I love them both so much. My favorites are when they talk about Morrissey, Lana, and Catholicism. Whenever I feel lonely and down, I just listen to the pod and it’s like I’m with old friends.
