Hi friends,

Oh heyyy! I just released my 11th song of the year, Good Man, and it might be my fave yet. Take a listen.

Other than that, I've been engrossed in a book about Jimmy Carter (see below) and enjoying some spring running.

Enjoy your Sunday, pals!

Ten Things

1. 💿 Scary Pockets – Life

These guys do funk covers of hit songs and their latest record's got some solid gold, including wild versions of MJ's Man in the Mirror and Mariah Carey's Fantasy. So good!

2. 📺 Trying

Cracking sitcom about a couple's attempt to adopt a child.

3. 📺 Feel Good

I loved this comedy/drama about stand-up comic, Mae Martin's relationship with her formerly-straight girlfriend.

4. 📻 Masks on, tops off: inside a Texas strip club

A sensitive, nuanced look at how a strip club, plus its staff and customers, are coping with the pandemic.

5. 📝 Only your boss can cure your burnout

No pressure.

6. 📝 Addicted to phone

Edith's short comic about phone addiction made me titter.

7. 📝 A Kansas bookshop's fight with Amazon is about more than the price of books

As ever, death to Amazon.

8. 📝 'My body is unserviceable and well past its sell-by date': the last days of Avril Henry

Heartbreaking piece about an elderly woman's desire to die.

9. 📝 'Success addicts' choose being special over being happy

This article from Arthur C. Brooks' 'How to build a life' column is real good.

10. 📚 Jonathan Alter – His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, a Life

I'm not really a history guy but I've always wanted to know more about former US president, Jimmy Carter. This doorstop of a book (with a delicious cover) is doing the trick.
