The end of days is near, but life always goes on. A young Latin tutor—penniless and bullied by a violent father—falls in love with an extraordinary, eccentric young woman. Agnes is a wild creature who walks her family’s land with a falcon on her glove and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual gifts as a healer, understanding plants and potions better than she does people. Once she settles with her husband on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steadfast, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband, whose career on the London stage is taking off when their beloved young son succumbs to sudden fever. A luminous portrait of a marriage, a shattering evocation of a family ravaged by grief and loss, and a tender and unforgettable re-imagining of a boy whose life has been all but forgotten, whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays of all time, Hamnet is mesmerizing, seductive, impossible to put down—a magnificent leap forward from one of our most gifted novelists. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/the-drowned-cities monthly 0.5 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769640960154-M027SFLZ6UXF2V0TI263/books_drownedcities.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - The Drowned Cities - Make it stand out Description via The StoryGraph: Soldier boys emerged from the darkness. Guns gleamed dully. Bullet bandoliers and scars draped their bare chests. Ugly brands scored their faces. She knew why these soldier boys had come. She knew what they sought, and she knew, too, that if they found it, her best friend would surely die. In a dark future America where violence, terror, and grief touch everyone, young refugees Mahlia and Mouse have managed to leave behind the war-torn lands of the Drowned Cities by escaping into the jungle outskirts. But when they discover a wounded half-man--a bioengineered war beast named Tool--who is being hunted by a vengeful band of soldiers, their fragile existence quickly collapses. One is taken prisoner by merciless soldier boys, and the other is faced with an impossible decision: Risk everything to save a friend, or flee to a place where freedom might finally be possible. This thrilling companion to Paolo Bacigalupi's highly acclaimed Ship Breaker is a haunting and powerful story of loyalty, survival, and heart-pounding adventure. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/sula monthly 0.5 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769642266859-IZNXAEAT2KNGJPJEE8EP/80.jpeg Stuff & Things Blog - Sula - Make it stand out Description via The StoryGraph: Two girls who grow up to become women. Two friends who become something worse than enemies. In this brilliantly imagined novel, Toni Morrison tells the story of Nel Wright and Sula Peace, who meet as children in the small town of Medallion, Ohio. Their devotion is fierce enough to withstand bullies and the burden of a dreadful secret. It endures even after Nel has grown up to be a pillar of the black community and Sula has become a pariah. But their friendship ends in an unforgivable betrayal--or does it end? Terrifying, comic, ribald and tragic, Sula is a work that overflows with life. You can't go wrong by reading or re-reading the collected works of Toni Morrison. Beloved, Song of Solomon, The Bluest Eye, Sula, everything else -- they're transcendent, all of them. You'll be glad you read them. -Barack Obama https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/how-i-live-now monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769635400281-CMT3CH10OR8VARFI8726/120546-how-i-live-now-0-2000-0-3000-crop.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - How I Live Now - Make it stand out Synopsis via Letterboxd: LOVE WILL LEAD YOU HOME An American girl, sent to the English countryside to stay with relatives, finds love and purpose while fighting for her survival as war envelops the world around her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769635850932-7DQCUQ598COKXZUA2QRS/6.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - How I Live Now https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769635851093-A31NZLXH1NGH7U8VM2PW/4.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - How I Live Now https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769635853640-86003W5IV19CA2XG7CGK/3.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - How I Live Now https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/48226149-ed29-4a3c-ac10-07d47dbd3b96/letterboxd-logo-v-neg-rgb-1000px.png Stuff & Things Blog - How I Live Now - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/how-i-live-now-book monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769643445557-BQ4RHABY57S3YLB8TO11/91L-W4RPJ1L._SL1500_.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - How I Live Now - Make it stand out Description via The StoryGraph: "Every war has turning points and every person too." Fifteen-year-old Daisy is sent from Manhattan to England to visit her aunt and cousins she's never met: three boys near her age, and their little sister. Her aunt goes away on business soon after Daisy arrives. The next day bombs go off as London is attacked and occupied by an unnamed enemy. As power fails, and systems fail, the farm becomes more isolated. Despite the war, it's a kind of Eden, with no adults in charge and no rules, a place where Daisy's uncanny bond with her cousins grows into something rare and extraordinary. But the war is everywhere, and Daisy and her cousins must lead each other into a world that is unknown in the scariest, most elemental way. A riveting and astonishing story. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/i-am-the-messenger monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769642727099-ZUTXX79CP4FH68AVEC2G/81JelTKR91L.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - I Am the Messenger - Make it stand out Description via The StoryGraph: Ed Kennedy is an underage cabdriver without much of a future.

Chosen to care, he makes his way through town helping and hurting (when necessary) until only one question remains: Who's behind Ed's mission? https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/carry-on monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769634659227-SZ8WSDCOS5DQ7C3EP1G2/905876-carry-on-2024-0-2000-0-3000-crop.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Carry-On - Make it stand out Synopsis via Letterboxd: EVERY HOLIDAY SEASON, MILLIONS TRAVEL SAFELY BY AIR.

Winner of the National Book Award as well as Newbery and Printz Honors. Matteo Alacr n was not born; he was harvested. His DNA came from El Patr n, lord of a country called Opium--a strip of poppy fields lying between the United States and what was once called Mexico. Matt's first cell split and divided inside a petri dish. Then he was placed in the womb of a cow, where he continued the miraculous journey from embryo to fetus to baby. He is a boy now, but most consider him a monster--except for El Patr n. El Patr n loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself. As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a sinister cast of characters, including El Patr n's power-hungry family, and he is surrounded by a dangerous army of bodyguards. Escape is the only chance Matt has to survive. But escape from the Alacr n Estate is no guarantee of freedom, because Matt is marked by his difference in ways he doesn't even suspect. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/the-commuter monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769633777723-3Y6N4RHLCU434NZH2Q8W/rDeGK6FIUfVcXmuBdEORPAGPMNg-0-2000-0-3000-crop.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - The Commuter - Make it stand out Synopsis via Letterboxd: LIVES ARE ON THE LINE A businessman, on his daily commute home, gets unwittingly caught up in a criminal conspiracy that threatens not only his life but the lives of those around him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769634370176-4SU03OZ1GJW95S8YYNBG/the-commuter-movie-image-5.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - The Commuter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769634293236-MC0802RWLH2E66RVH49V/commuter-background-01.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - The Commuter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769634502735-BNXVQ2FJH8UNIOFWMI28/9-PATRICK-WILSON-THE-COMMUTER-01-scaled.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - The Commuter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769634343245-JARILHM4WDHZWUHP9FCQ/commuter.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - The Commuter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769634242885-2K8H87OY1QFBT0MGU1SP/liam-neeson-in-the-commuter.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - The Commuter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769634517363-X8XR60H1IG51ZERNH1QD/MV5BMjA3MDM4NTc3Nl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNzIwNzk0NDM%2540._V1_.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - The Commuter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769634490887-NOT5SLH7Z78HF2FS44NI/the-commuter07.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - The Commuter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/48226149-ed29-4a3c-ac10-07d47dbd3b96/letterboxd-logo-v-neg-rgb-1000px.png Stuff & Things Blog - The Commuter - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/non-stop monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769632978274-OY88IWIYHW84X1E727V5/158942-non-stop-0-2000-0-3000-crop.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Non-Stop - Make it stand out Synopsis via Letterboxd: THE HIJACKING WAS JUST THE BEGINNING.

The end of days is near, but life always goes on. A young Latin tutor—penniless and bullied by a violent father—falls in love with an extraordinary, eccentric young woman. Agnes is a wild creature who walks her family’s land with a falcon on her glove and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual gifts as a healer, understanding plants and potions better than she does people. Once she settles with her husband on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steadfast, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband, whose career on the London stage is taking off when their beloved young son succumbs to sudden fever. A luminous portrait of a marriage, a shattering evocation of a family ravaged by grief and loss, and a tender and unforgettable re-imagining of a boy whose life has been all but forgotten, whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays of all time, Hamnet is mesmerizing, seductive, impossible to put down—a magnificent leap forward from one of our most gifted novelists. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/traumatika monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769631520561-BLJ3YG34JPVTZT5FZ4ZM/1200094-traumatika-0-2000-0-3000-crop.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Traumatika - Make it stand out Synopsis via Letterboxd: Mikey’s night terrors become reality when his mother begins showing signs of demonic possession.

First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the "Transition." Now, eating human meat--"special meat"--is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing. Then one day he's given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he's aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost--and what might still be saved. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/nothing-but-blackened-teeth monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769639076289-J2925I2WD4BXLDY7LP11/53195923.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw - Make it stand out Synopsis via The StoryGraph: Cassandra Khaw's Nothing But Blackened Teeth is a gorgeously creepy haunted house tale, steeped in Japanese folklore and full of devastating twists.

Meet Frank Cauldhame. Just sixteen, and unconventional to say the least: Two years after I killed Blyth I murdered my young brother Paul, for quite different and more fundamental reasons than I'd disposed of Blyth, and then a year after that I did for my young cousin Esmerelda, more or less on a whim. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/ship-breaker monthly 0.5 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769650058719-ONAKJL7CB5QS6N85HEBD/Ship-Breaker-Paolo-Bacigalupi.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Ship Breaker - Make it stand out Description via The StoryGraph: "A gritty, high-stakes adventure set in a futuristic world where oil is scarce, but loyalty is scarcer."

In the pages of his book, remarkable manuscripts tumble through the centuries, connecting a French prince and a Greek peasant and a Black curator. This is a story about society and manuscripts, what manuscripts do for people, and why they mattered and still matter to us. As much as it is a story about transcendent human connection, it is also a story of greed, discovery and disaster. The Manuscripts Club celebrates the most treasured books ever made and their enduring hold on our imaginations. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/heads-of-state monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/7198d026-cfb8-48db-926d-6118e8585c3e/670962-heads-of-state-0-2000-0-3000-crop.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Heads of State - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/48226149-ed29-4a3c-ac10-07d47dbd3b96/letterboxd-logo-v-neg-rgb-1000px.png Stuff & Things Blog - Heads of State - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/eddington monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/c348289c-9205-4a9d-ac31-f649f6a90b13/eddington-poster.jpg-scaled.webp Stuff & Things Blog - Eddington - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769614677922-70AOFWTRFQ97WAMHU6IV/eddington-11.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Eddington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769614678973-8G8JVWJZ2YX0URCRLRXK/eddington-104.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Eddington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769614679763-3NICE8CNODU0KCQXM5IU/eddington-anatomy1-zktw-videoSixteenByNine3000-v2.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Eddington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769614681270-75H9JSZEOA5OD9WN9W4H/eddington.png Stuff & Things Blog - Eddington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/48226149-ed29-4a3c-ac10-07d47dbd3b96/letterboxd-logo-v-neg-rgb-1000px.png Stuff & Things Blog - Eddington - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/my-documents monthly 0.5 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/976dc4da-76b9-41da-9e8f-122d1557da39/91s%2B%2BFTXX4L._SL1500_.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Mỹ Documents - Make it stand out Description via The StoryGraph: The paths of four family members diverge drastically when the U.S. government begins detaining Vietnamese Americans, in this sharp and touching novel about growing up at the intersection of ambition and assimilation. Ursula, Alvin, Jen, and Duncan grew up as cousins in the sprawling Nguyen family, but the truth about their family is much more complicated. As young adults, they're on the precipice of new ventures—Ursula as a budding journalist in Manhattan, Alvin as an engineering intern for Google, Jen as a naive freshman at NYU, and Duncan as a promising newcomer on his high school football team. Their lives are upended when a series of violent, senseless attacks across America create a national panic, prompting a government policy forcing Vietnamese Americans into internment camps. Jen and Duncan are sent with their mother to Camp Tacoma while Ursula and Alvin receive exemptions. Cut off entirely from the outside world, Jen and Duncan try to withstand long dusty days in camp, forced to work jobs they hate and acclimate to life without the internet. That is until Jen discovers a way to get messages to the outside. Her first instinct is to reach out to Ursula, who sees this as an opportunity to tell the world about the horrors of detention—and bolster her own reporting career in the process. Informed by real-life events from Japanese incarceration, the Vietnam War, and modern-day immigrant detention, Kevin Nguyen gives us a version of reality only a few degrees away from our own—much too close for comfort. Moving and finely attuned to both the brutalities and mundanities of racism in America, Mỹ Documents is a strangely funny and touching portrait of American ambition, fear, and family. The story of the Nguyens is one of resilience and how we return to each other, and to ourselves, after tragedy. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/black-af-history monthly 0.5 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769652397895-KUG7KCET267Y45KPZQDI/81cAGCCob7L._SL1500_.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Black AF History - Make it stand out Description via The StoryGraph: From acclaimed columnist and political commentator Michael Harriot, a searingly smart and bitingly hilarious retelling of American history that corrects the record and showcases the perspectives and experiences of Black Americans. America’s backstory is a whitewashed mythology implanted in our collective memory. It is the story of the pilgrims on the Mayflower building a new nation. It is George Washington’s cherry tree and Abraham Lincoln’s log cabin. It is the fantastic tale of slaves that spontaneously teleported themselves here with nothing but strong backs and negro spirituals. It is a sugarcoated legend based on an almost true story. It should come as no surprise that the dominant narrative of American history is blighted with errors and oversights—after all, history books were written by white men with their perspectives at the forefront. It could even be said that the devaluation and erasure of the Black experience is as American as apple pie. In Black AF History, Michael Harriot presents a more accurate version of American history. Combining unapologetically provocative storytelling with meticulous research based on primary sources as well as the work of pioneering Black historians, scholars, and journalists, Harriot removes the white sugarcoating from the American story, placing Black people squarely at the center. With incisive wit, Harriot speaks hilarious truth to oppressive power, subverting conventional historical narratives with little-known stories about the experiences of Black Americans. From the African Americans who arrived before 1619 to the unenslavable bandit who inspired America’s first police force, this long overdue corrective provides a revealing look into our past that is as urgent as it is necessary. For too long, we have refused to acknowledge that American history is white history. Not this one. This history is Black AF. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/frewaka monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/838d8524-aae0-4013-8076-d3bc94905122/1075406-frewaka-0-2000-0-3000-crop.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Fréwaka - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769613560307-6TK5LH5PNHIIUPNWP6DW/Frewaka-2.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Fréwaka https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769613560984-EWDN7R607X83DPZ1VTKE/xAJvgYLYrcCvSLeMnXMQixyVYNQ.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Fréwaka https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769613562230-D7SDJE1MM0ZQY769OU8Y/MV5BZWZkYmNkNzItMjUxMC00ZmFiLTg1NDUtNDYwZmMwMWU0ZDc5XkEyXkFqcGc%40._V1_.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Fréwaka https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769613559324-NPA8SWVOC1LCBOKGEYZS/Frewaka_10.jpeg Stuff & Things Blog - Fréwaka https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/48226149-ed29-4a3c-ac10-07d47dbd3b96/letterboxd-logo-v-neg-rgb-1000px.png Stuff & Things Blog - Fréwaka - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/the-name-of-the-rose monthly 0.5 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769652756697-N89Y7Z59ZVT7NK3JHO5O/the-name-of-the-rose-book-cover.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - The Name of the Rose - Make it stand out Description via The StoryGraph: The year is 1327. Benedictines in a wealthy Italian abbey are suspected of heresy, and Brother William of Baskerville arrives to investigate. When his delicate mission is suddenly overshadowed by seven bizarre deaths, Brother William turns detective. His tools are the logic of Aristotle, the theology of Aquinas, the empirical insights of Roger Bacon—all sharpened to a glistening edge by wry humor and a ferocious curiosity. He collects evidence, deciphers secret symbols and coded manuscripts, and digs into the eerie labyrinth of the abbey, where "the most interesting things happen at night." https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/top-25-albums-of-2024 monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/cc3a981c-8dc7-4a56-80da-59440f5d20a8/Album+of+the+year+contenders.jpg Stuff & Things Blog -

The Fire Next Time - Make it stand out Description via The StoryGraph: 'We, the black and the white, deeply need each other here if we are really to become a nation' James Baldwin's impassioned plea to 'end the racial nightmare' in America was a bestseller when it appeared in 1963, galvanising a nation and giving voice to the emerging civil rights movement. Told in the form of two intensely personal 'letters', The Fire Next Time is at once a powerful evocation of Baldwin's early life in Harlem and an excoriating condemnation of the terrible legacy of racial injustice. 'Sermon, ultimatum, confession, deposition, testament, and chronicle ... all presented in searing, brilliant prose' The New York Times Book Review 'Baldwin writes with great passion ... it reeks of truth, as the ghettoes of New York and London, Chicago and Manchester reek of our hypocrisy' Sunday Times https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/mechanical-violator-hakaider monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/c46b0677-c170-4f15-a87a-4aa520cfb13a/2667-mechanical-violator-hakaider-0-2000-0-3000-crop.jpg Stuff & Things Blog -

The Hobbit - Make it stand out Description via The StoryGraph: Venture “there and back again” with this special enhanced edition of the enchanting prelude to The Lord of the Rings, illustrated throughout with over 50 sketches, drawings, paintings and maps by J.R.R. Tolkien himself, and the complete text printed in two colors. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an unexpected journey ‘there and back again.’ They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon . . . Written for J.R.R. Tolkien’s own children, The Hobbit was published on 21 September 1937. With a beautiful cover design, a handful of black & white drawings and two maps by the author himself, the book became an instant success and was reprinted shortly afterwards with five color plates. Tolkien’s own selection of finished paintings and drawings have become inseparable from his text, adorning editions of The Hobbit for more than 85 years. But the published art has afforded only a glimpse of Tolkien’s creative process, and many additional sketches, colored drawings and maps – although exhibited and published elsewhere – have never appeared within the pages of The Hobbit. In this unique enhanced edition of Tolkien’s enchanting classic tale, the full panoply of his art is reproduced for the first time, presenting more than 50 illustrations to accompany Bilbo Baggins on his adventure ‘there and back again.’ https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/robots-and-empire monthly 0.5 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769654374866-SKM6FRU67XNPZ0AGYG8M/robots-and-empire-1.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Robots and Empire - Make it stand out Description via The StoryGraph: Long after his humiliating defeat at the hands of Earthman Elijah Baley, Keldon Amadiro embarked on a plan to destroy planet Earth.

Intersectionality: Origins, Contestations, Horizons - Make it stand out Description via The StoryGraph: A 2017 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Intersectionality intervenes in the field of intersectionality studies: the integrative examination of the effects of racial, gendered, and class power on people's lives. While "intersectionality" tends to circulate merely as a buzzword, Anna Carastathis joins other critical voices in urging a more careful reading. Challenging the narratives of arrival that surround it, Carastathis argues that intersectionality is a horizon, illuminating ways of thinking that have yet to be realized; consequently, calls to "go beyond" intersectionality are premature. A provisional interpretation of intersectionality can disorient habits of essentialism, categorical purity, and prototypicality and overcome dynamics of segregation and subordination in political movements. Through a close reading of critical race theorist Kimberl Williams Crenshaw's germinal texts, published more than twenty-five years ago, Carastathis urges analytic clarity, contextual rigor, and a politicized, historicized understanding of this pervasive concept. Intersectionality's roots in social justice movements and critical intellectual projects--specifically black feminism--must be retraced and synthesized with a decolonial analysis so that its potential to actualize coalitions can be enacted. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/we-the-animals monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769639596407-MIWAWS96P9RP4N8XE5Q6/1200x0.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - We the Animals by Justin Torres - Make it stand out Description via The StoryGraph: An exquisite, blistering debut novel. Three brothers tear their way through childhood — smashing tomatoes all over each other, building kites from trash, hiding out when their parents do battle, tiptoeing around the house as their mother sleeps off her graveyard shift. Paps and Ma are from Brooklyn — he’s Puerto Rican, she’s white — and their love is a serious, dangerous thing that makes and unmakes a family many times. Life in this family is fierce and absorbing, full of chaos and heartbreak and the euphoria of belonging completely to one another. From the intense familial unity felt by a child to the profound alienation he endures as he begins to see the world, this beautiful novel reinvents the coming-of-age story in a way that is sly and punch-in-the-stomach powerful. Written in magical language with unforgettable images, this is a stunning exploration of the viscerally charged landscape of growing up, how deeply we are formed by our earliest bonds, and how we are ultimately propelled at escape velocity toward our futures. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/there-there monthly 0.5 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769655376860-L4X49A9043J809NXE6K9/36692478.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - There There - Make it stand out Description via The StoryGraph: ONE OF THE 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR--THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW WINNER OF THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE One of the Best Books of the Year: The Washington Post, NPR, Time, O, The Oprah Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, Entertainment Weekly, The Boston Globe, GQ, The Dallas Morning News, Buzzfeed, BookPage, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLER Tommy Orange's "groundbreaking, extraordinary" (The New York Times) There There is the "brilliant, propulsive" (People Magazine) story of twelve unforgettable characters, Urban Indians living in Oakland, California, who converge and collide on one fateful day. It's "the year's most galvanizing debut novel" (Entertainment Weekly). As we learn the reasons that each person is attending the Big Oakland Powwow--some generous, some fearful, some joyful, some violent--momentum builds toward a shocking yet inevitable conclusion that changes everything. Jacquie Red Feather is newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind in shame. Dene Oxendene is pulling his life back together after his uncle's death and has come to work at the powwow to honor his uncle's memory. Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield has come to watch her nephew Orvil, who has taught himself traditional Indian dance through YouTube videos and will to perform in public for the very first time. There will be glorious communion, and a spectacle of sacred tradition and pageantry. And there will be sacrifice, and heroism, and loss. There There is a wondrous and shattering portrait of an America few of us have ever seen. It's "masterful . . . white-hot . . . devastating" (The Washington Post) at the same time as it is fierce, funny, suspenseful, thoroughly modern, and impossible to put down. Here is a voice we have never heard--a voice full of poetry and rage, exploding onto the page with urgency and force. Tommy Orange has written a stunning novel that grapples with a complex and painful history, with an inheritance of beauty and profound spirituality, and with a plague of addiction, abuse, and suicide. This is the book that everyone is talking about right now, and it's destined to be a classic. https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/gone-girl monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1769637912953-M448Z2YFA4N27QI2M8PL/9780297859383.OR.0.x.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn - Make it stand out Synopsis via The StoryGraph: On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media--as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents--the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter--but is he really a killer? https://alexxtholden.com/alexxs-stuff-things-blog/top-25-albums-of-2023 monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/9bc0ee8d-9ffe-40fb-ab25-454baa96e068/Album+of+the+year+contenders.png Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/1704521773579-A4MKX3CTRHP9BBC7QH3Q/1000x1000bb.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out André 3000 New Blue Sun I was just as floored as a lot of folks that this was even a thing.

Somehow it’s one of the bands my daughter has picked up on and always ends up with on her own playlists. After all, punks don’t die. They just happen to grow up and have kids who also turn into punks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/8a5d1129-b223-4180-81f1-0b9274efb6bc/1000x1000bb-3.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Baroness Stone Any year in which Baroness releases an album is a great year but Stone is significant in a couple ways that make it particularly special. This is their 6th album but it is the first one after their color period ended and the 2nd with Gina in the band. Baroness has literally followed me through adulthood - from their growth as musicians to John’s increasingly complex and detailed artwork - and this year my oldest son left for college having grown up with them and becoming a fan as well. In October I was able to get him home long enough to take him to his first real show in Austin. They put on a killer show on this tour and it was the second best live performance Ive ever seen second only to all the times I’ve seen Local H. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/bb1e4b11-2f83-4632-b114-a8f5721899c3/1000x1000bb-10.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Ben Howard Is It? While there are those that will argue he has been moving further and further away from his folk roots, to those people I would ask, “Who gives a shit?” The truth here is that Howard has spent his career doing what makes him happy and this should, in turn, make everyone that enjoys consuming art happy as well. I keep most of my favorite Ben Howard tracks on rotation in multiple playlists and I actually have one that’s literally just him, Warpaint, and Sandy Denny. Check him out if you ever want to just sit and chill; on the back deck at sunset works. Maybe take a beer with you. Or wine, or a pipe and some coffee, or maybe some tea. Whatever makes you happy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/7454fda8-4d90-495a-bed0-f82d0eff75c0/1000x1000bb-4.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Cannibal Corpse Chaos Horrific This one is pretty self explanatory for metal fans. A staple in the death metal genre that, despite decades of misunderstanding, has never taken itself too seriously. Except for the grind. They take the grind very, very seriously. Just having some CC on, even in the background, has been known to make one’s body begin to scoop itself rhythmically in strange devilish ways. I would recommend giving George a follow on instagram to see how the majority of the metal community is just normal people doing normal things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/8a4818c3-9554-429a-bb58-ad8b7dc4d305/1000x1000bb-5.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Cattle Decapitation Terrasite I promise this whole list really isn’t metal but it’s been a good year and if you like your metal deep, dark, loud and layered with a healthy amount of animal and environmental activism, you absolutely cannot do any better than these guys*. They’ve grown a lot over the years and this album is super distinct and stands both apart and above from much of what the genre offers. *Unless there’s a new BTBAM album out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/c07939af-677e-41e6-8681-c098c92756d5/1000x1000bb-6.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Clouds Taste Satanic Tales of Demonic Possession As a writer who likes good music that won’t distract me from staring at blank pages for hours acting like I’ve got something to say, I’m a huge fan of instrumental rock and metal because sometimes binaural, ambient and classical won’t cut it. Self described as “Instru-Metal Post Demonic Doom”, Clouds Taste Satanic stay in regular rotation on my writing playlist with bands like 65daysofstatic, Explosions in the Sky, Night Verses (which incidentally you’ll find further down on this list) among others. Good old fashioned musicianship and a dark aesthetic make them a great gateway to folks trying to get into metal, especially doom, who aren’t yet ready for the vocals. From here you could theoretically jump straight into Graves at Sea’s The Curse That Is or Cough’s Still They Pray. Just kidding, y’all. Don’t do that. Baby steps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/58633d67-8d5e-4b99-954b-bf78bca67d7a/1000x1000bb-7.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out ††† Goodnight, God Bless, I love U, Delete. ††† (Crosses) is the side project of some guy that apparently has another band some people really like. Chino. It’s Chino Moreno. That other band is Deftones. The guy stays super busy these days with multiple projects and this is one of my favorites. Their 2014 eponymous release is still in regular rotation on several of my playlists. It's weird and chill and fancy. You’ve always wanted to be weird, chill, and fancy right? It’s a vibe and ††† is providing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/95f0dbc3-4572-4b87-ae47-54d96077da9f/1000x1000bb-13.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Doja Cat Scarlet I’m sure there is an argument to be made for its exclusion from this, or any other list, but honestly I haven’t heard it. Nor will I. I will point to the fact that Doja doesn’t give a shit and neither do I and neither should you. This entire album is fun as hell, her bars are hilarious and the further and further out there she gets into her own head, the better. Like I said in the introduction, I love music of all kinds and sticking with one type of thing would deprive me of enjoying things I would otherwise not be able to. And the world is a better place because this collection of bangers exist. As my daughter would say, “She ate.” Or something. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/65e71513-084c-49db-bb4d-21d4f79f6655/1000x1000bb-8.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Entheos Time Will Take Us All Look. Metal has a ton of genres and subgenres and sub-subgenres. It’s complicated and can be simultaneously helpful and detrimental but if you know any metalheads, we dislike that fact enough to bitch about it but not enough to fix it. All that being said, Entheos is a tech-metal band. A genre that focus’s on the technical aspects of both instrumentation and vocalization. This album is absolutely all over the place in some of the best ways and they are continuing to show themselves as formidable. Also, Chaney Crabb is one of the best and most competent vocalists in metal and anyone that doubts that can eat shit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/00382259-77fa-4804-b069-c7a5cfea896b/1000x1000bb-9.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Fever Ray Radical Romanitcs A lot of people will tell you they have no idea who Fever Ray is despite a good many of those same people having watched the opening credits of Vikings. This is another one of those releases that is almost on this list by default. I really love their music and while I guess most people would consider them an acquired taste, I happen to think those people should just go ahead and fucking acquire some then.* *I’m kidding. Seriously though. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/e9aba05a-e75e-4967-9a06-bff629896794/1000x1000bb-11.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Horrendous Ontological Mysterium Per our previous discussion of metal subgenres, Horrendous is considered Black Metal or Death Metal depending on who you ask. Like I said, it’s a mess. This is one of those scenarios in which I discovered a band literally because I saw the album cover for their 2018 album Idol and was like, “What the fuck is that?” and preordered the vinyl without any prior knowledge of them. I was not disappointed and I’ve since ended up enjoying their entire catalogue. This album is no exception. It’s a loud, controlled chaos of cosmic horror that is, as with Idol, it is not without its moments of shockingly beautiful and complimentary progressive metal sorcery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/87a02dd8-8d04-4b5d-bcbd-6d79e69fe56d/1000x1000bb-17.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Humanity’s Last Breath Ashen This is a Swedish band that I’d never heard of before this year. This album took me completely by surprise and I probably listened to it for several weeks straight. You can never go wrong with dark figures worshiping a giant phallic eclipse on your album cover. The animated one wobbles back and forth too! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/12273169-b94d-4f22-9a67-6a1e2df6a366/1000x1000bb-14.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Killer Mike Michael Music is the great communicator. To preface, Pharoahe Monch and Black Thought are two of my favorite rappers and there have been times when I’ve felt compelled to defend listening to rap and hip-hop to people who think I shouldn’t be. Usually it’s other people with similar experiences as myself but tend to mischaracterize rap and hip-hop with colorful and subtle racist language. Look, if we all spent more time appreciating art created by artists whose experiences are different from our own, the world would probably be a much better place. This doesn’t just go for music, but writing, and other forms of art as well. Hearing other perspectives and other experiences doesn’t only create empathy, it validates the experiences of others that may otherwise be dismissed and ignored. And sometimes, as in this case, the entire thing is absolutely fire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/60efd796-7a9f-46af-bf92-5e1aa679cb3d/1000x1000bb-15.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Mouthbreather Self-Tape I’m not really sure what to say about this one, other than that Mouthbreather is a band that always kind of does what they want. There isn’t really a set formula for what to expect from them other than knowing that they are going to keep doing whatever they want. It works for them and they’re really good at it. Self-Tape is no exception to this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/d14f5cc6-1c5d-462c-b9cb-499d7558707e/1000x1000bb-18.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Nicki Minaj Pink Friday 2 In 2010, when the world was an entirely different place, Nicki had a feature on Kanye’s Monster, It’s remained to this day one of my favorite verses in all of hip-hope history. From the first time she opened her mouth there was something different about what she was doing and has, ever since, consistently, unabashedly, and seemingly effortlessly maintained her crown as the queen. With sample credits from Cindy Lauper, Blondie, Billie Eilish, Rick James, Bone Thugs, Biggy, and Lumidee, the Queen has returned. Full stop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/38c169f3-e74a-49e2-9310-4f169aa5c9da/1000x1000bb-19.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Night Verses Every Sound Has A Color In The Valley Of Night: Part I Another of my favorite instrumental bands and this is probably one of my most listened to albums of 2023. These guys are very tight in their execution. Surgical without feeling over produced and technical without being dizzying. There’s a ton of ear candy here as tracks are sprinkled with thematic spoken word samples that neither reveal themselves as a full narrative nor do they feel like they need to. The time changes are earned and there are plenty of beautiful moments of serenity within the structured pacing. tldr; Night Verses albums are like listening to a novel in which the narrative is told strictly through music. Where’s part II? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/54c6e1ce-1033-42c2-a3d4-af6285ff2a43/1000x1000bb-20.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Peter Garbiel I/O In a room full of Genesis fan’s I’ve always been the one in the corner waiting for someone to talk to about Peter, but no one wants to. They keep me in their peripheral, unsure of how to approach because, let’s face it, we’re weirder, artsier, and are generally far less approachable. Being his first full album of original music in over twenty years, I was super stoked for this. It’s 12 tracks but each with two mixes, a dark side and a light side. This man never sleeps, in the intervening years, he’s stayed busy with music and technological endeavors. He empowers artists and ideas. I really don’t want to take away from this album because it is fucking fantastic but… It’s super disappointing that he launched a contest to have his new videos created by AI. He’s always been at the forefront of technology, so I kind of get it… I guess. I’m pretty vocally on the side of artists in this debate and I love Peter too much to attach it here, despite my disappointment. I kind of just feel like it would distract from this great album, which I’m assuming was made by a hard working human with incredible talent. ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/47580cce-f289-4138-a896-58b3537d4193/1000x1000bb-21.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Rancid Tomorrow Never Comes I’m sorry was there something else that needed to be said here?

I discovered them in 2020 when they released their 3rd album When I Die, Will I Get Better? That album making that year’s top 25 list. Svalbard is a British post-hardcore metal band (those pesky genres again) with a heavy focus on mental health and social issues. Their music can be simultaneously scathing and somber, in both musicality and vocals. I’ll suggest and instagram follow here as well. These kids are great. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/7915a688-beae-4257-9f3b-eebc5317b156/1000x1000bb-23.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out The Lion’s Daughter Bath House This is another band that makes my list every year in which they release an album. Their sound is distinct, disturbing, and mysterious. There’s just a lot to appreciate with these guys. Imagine if David Lynch’s Eraserhead was a coma dream and when Henry Spencer woke up he formed a metal band with some nice, not overly done, synth work. I sleep to this album. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/67a554a5-5987-4fe1-b2d3-e84aad545d66/1000x1000bb-24.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Thomas Bangalter Mythologies Formerly half of Daft Punk Thomas Bangalter, has turned his attention from house/electronic dance to the classical form with this massive composition of 23 movements. There is no trace of his former robot here and it is an incredibly rich listen. Weather your a fan of Daft Punk or Classical or both, its a great listen on a rainy day. I read 17 books in 2023 and wrote almost two whole drafts of my 100,000 word novel, much of that while listening to this masterpiece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/b867fe4b-c28a-4183-ac6e-96ef839b05b5/1000x1000bb-25.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Twin Temple God Is Dead Satan doesn’t listen to metal, he listens to doo-wop. I’m an atheist and Twin Temple is the only band that’s ever made me question that. It’ll make you burn candles and bibles and babies. Bring back the Satanic Panic of the eighties and let the pearl clutching commence. God is dead. Satan lives! I shouldn’t need to point out the sarcasm here so don’t be stupid. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/c02f2d52-f12c-4c70-9ffd-d8d90ab4cbd7/1000x1000bb-26.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Veil of Maya [m]other Two important things here: First, for those of use who’ve been listening to this band since the early days, they have grown a lot. Like, a lot. It’s not easy to not only survive what basically amounts to a subgenre change, but to thrive because of it. Second, they have been able to do so primary because of their inability to write songs that aren’t total bangers. They never fail. Start to finish these guys have always been on point. Clean vocals or not - death core, tech, grind, or whatever - everything they touch is on fire and glorious. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/b39c79ee-e0fd-44d4-a064-c72ae333ae23/1000x1000bb-27.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Young Fathers Heavy Heavy Finally, we come to the end of the 25. Like many people, I discovered Young Fathers in 2023 for the first time and holy shit, I’m glad I did. A masterclass in patient writing and eclecticism in practice. Absolutely astounded by this album and everything these guys have been doing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/03e66fd1-4b14-4319-a712-820e3abca5b2/1000x1000bb-30.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Clutch Sunrise on Slaughter Beach I’m going to admit a bit of confusion on my part here, as Clutch is actually one of my favorite bands of all time. For decades I’ve been annoying family and friends with their eclectic blend of strange storytelling and metal tinged blues rock. On my list of top five favorite guitar players Tim Sult is number 3 behind David Gilmore and John Frusciante. The dude is super underrated. As I said in the introduction, this is the first year in which a Clutch ablum was released that it didn’t make the top 25. As this album is everything a fan would expect it to be, for all intents and purposes, it’s perfect. That’s what makes it great. There was so much going on this year in music that it just kind of ended up here. Clutch is great. You either like them or don’t but give it a shot and find out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/136f87aa-a338-42b7-8079-a20b9e75b25a/1000x1000bb-28.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Haken Fauna I really love everything about this album. I’ve listened to it a bunch and it still bums me out that I couldn’t fit in on the list. I actually considered doing a top 30 this year just so I could fit it and Clutch, but then what? That snow balls into another 5 being mentioned honorably and then I’d have to… I just… I can’t. It basically came down to how honest I wanted to be with myself and while this gets a lot of play for me, a bunch of the top 25 just really hit for me this year and Haken is and will always be Haken. Awesome but not entirely unexpected. If you’re in the market for great prog-metal that isn’t too heavy, full of screaming, and isn’t super complex, this will do well. Despite what some metalheads will tell you, none of those are actually bad things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/b0a4640f-49c2-4e22-a25f-d6a217a27478/1000x1000bb-12.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out John Frusciante :II. Depending on what decade your stuck in, the following opinion may be unpopular but I’ve always kind of felt like the Chili Peppers were just an okay band, except during the on-again, off-again eras in which John played with them. As previously mentioned, behind only David Gilmore, Frusciante is my second favorite guitar player. For me, his improvisation with Chili Peppers is that one thing that pushed them into greatness. He brings a very clear voice to whatever he works on, whether its playing with The Mars Volta or just Omar, or his other bands, his output is absolutely immense. His 2009 solo album The Empyrean is a classic. This 13th solo album is an ambient electronic fare not far removed from the path he’s been going on his prior records. Despite not having a direct voice on this album his ability as a guitar player very much informs how this ambience functions. It’s been one of my favorites for background noise this year. If that’s not your thing, cool but if so, check it out, maybe go back through his catalogue and check out his axe chops as well, especially if your a fan of his eras with the Peppers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/618b630c-8437-4eff-81b0-44206bebc28e/1000x1000bb-32.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Polaris Fatalism Polaris is an excellent example of the new generation of metal core. They are one of those rare shining variables in a subgenre that can grow quite stagnant at times. Their albums get progressively better with each release and I find this one to be the one in which they have most clearly discovered who they are as a band and where they plan on going. Sadly just a few months prior to its release their lead guitarist, Ryan Siew, passed away. Keep an eye on these guys if you like some fast, tight chonky-boi crushers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/2c7ccc3b-6d1a-44e5-84ed-470ed795b782/1000x1000bb-31.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Pupil Slicer Blossom I really dig this album. A lot of people don’t and I’m not really sure why.* Their first album Mirrors in 2021 was good but didn’t connect with me on a deep level like this one did. They definitely seem to be finding their footing and their voice. I’m keeping this in the rotation and super stoked for whatever they do next. *This is mostly sarcasm. There’s still a lot of sexism, misogyny, and bigotry in the metal community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/cbd6a605-029d-4d95-91af-7870aa285d18/1000x1000bb-33.jpg Stuff & Things Blog - Top 25 Albums of 2023 - Make it stand out Blue October Spinning the Truth Around, Pt. II This’ll be a bit longer than the rest but context is important here. Bear with me there’s more after this. In early October I, and countless others, lost a good friend. She was not only a huge influence on who am, but also pretty much saved my life by just being around. There’s a whole post about it on my Facebook here. I’ve never really shied around my past, and many of you have probably heard, read, or seen me talk about my past with addiction and my lifelong struggles with severe anxiety and depression disorders. I met Jamie at one of the worst and most confusing times in my life. I’m talking early days, like, summer 2002 early days. We’d already known each other but she hired me for a job at the recommendation of a mutual friend. She was only a few years older than me. She never expected anything of me but to be as close to on-time as possible, to show up smiling, and to be kind. We became close friends quick and remained so ever since. She had this car back in the day, a black hatchback VW covered in stickers and dents. One day I was running errands for her this was not long after I started working for her - and when I got in the car there was a CD in the deck. I’d been going through a ton of stuff at the time including a breakup, lack of housing, inability to meet obligations - all things that were mostly my fault (opiate addicts are like that y’all), and the song that came on was Breakfast After 10 by Blue October from their album Consent to Treatment. A band from up the road from where I’m at here in Texas that, at the time I’d only heard mentioned - the world was different then y’all. It was over from there and I was a fan. As life moved around us, and we moved apart, we stayed friends online and again when I returned back to Texas. I’ve been listening to them ever since, Except this one. It came out exactly a week after she passed and, right now, as I’m working through writing about it I’m listening to it for the first time. I’m not crying, you are. Fuck off. I dont’ have much in the way of a review. I just wanted to use the time to listen to it and remember my friend with an album I’ve been to raw to put on until now. Thanks for taking the extra time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64112caef748cb0eb208c5b0/5b9d0d3c-71ac-46dd-8861-19f5d7d14007/Screen+Shot+2024-01-06+at+22.03.23+PM.png Stuff & Things Blog -
