A couple of days ago, Heaven Is An Incubator posted a track from the band The Saxophones' new album, No Time For Poetry.
Blew me away.
An hour later, I was starting on my second go-round with the record. This one is incredible. Not like anything else I've heard in some time. Think Loveage meets Combustible Edison meets... I don't know. Those are just pointers in the general direction, as this group is very much its own thing. Can't thank you enough, Tommy!
Watch:
Wednesday night, I watched a movie where an unkillable old man kills the F*CK out of a company of nazis in 1944 Finland. Such a satisfying watch! If you know Jalmari Helander's bizarre Christmas film Rare Exports and you haven't seen 2023's Sisu, do yourself a favor - watch it as soon as you can.
What's the hurry? Well, I say watch it ASAP because I think you'll love it. I mean, who doesn't love dead nazis? Also, if you watch it soon, you can do like I did last night and hit a local theatre for the brand spankin' new sequel, Sisu: Road to Revenge:
The sequel might just be more insane than the first!
The 'suspension of disbelief' factor is super high with these films, but that's fine. Jalmari Helander knows how to make bloody AF action films FUN! I can't recommend seeing this on the big screen enough. Not only is Jorma Tommila back to kick all the evil arseholes to hell, but Stephan Lang and Richard Brake come along for the ride!

Deep emotional fulfillment follows your accomplishments; however, we don't always recognize our accomplishments or our fulfillments. It's one of modern humanity's fated flaws that we never appreciate what we have, never stop to appreciate what we have instead of looking forward for 'more.' Remember that and try not to lose sight of what you have to be grateful for.
Good advice that hits home.
