 Good morning, John. Wow, that's what my voice sounds like. In a world where a guy has to make a video blog, even though he was up quite late and that his baby was up quite early. He makes a video blog. Earlier this week, Lauren Lapkus tweeted the following. Older siblings are the original influencers. When I was little, my brother said sausage pizza was gross and I didn't eat it again for 20 years. This was apparently hashtag relatable for a lot of people, including me. I quote tweeted this and I said, my older brother thought that it was a good idea to make video blogs and like I want to emphasize that that's not an exaggeration. There's this thing about older siblings and I don't know if this is always the case, but it seems Lauren's tweet and my experience combined, like there's something about this relationship that creates this absolute clarity and confidence in the correctness of like the taste making ability of this child and it's a kind of a remarkable responsibility for a child to have. I don't expect children to live up to this responsibility. Of course, sometimes your older sibling is into super weird or dumb stuff like smoking cigarettes and reading Ulysses for fun, but John for the most part and especially when it comes to music, which I find this weird because you're not particularly musical. That's okay to say I think you have extremely good taste in music like all of the bands you have gotten me into over the years have been way better than like what would be sort of a random selection. I can literally remember the first time that you and Matt Brown brought Flood, that there may be a Giants album, into the house and put it in dad's like Giganto CD player. But like if that had been a Chumba Womba CD, I probably would have learned every word to every song on the album and I would have like plumbed the depths of Chumba Womba's backlog of stuff. I don't know if that exists. I don't know anything. Maybe Chumba Womba's great. I apologize to Chumba Womba fans and also to Chumba Womba. But my sense is that I probably wouldn't have been able to cultivate like a decades-long love affair with Chumba Womba if that's what you brought into my life. I'm in Portland, Oregon right now where I have traveled with my wife and child to go see probably the 12th They Might Be Giants show of my life. For those who don't know, They Might Be Giants is a weird, artsy, nerdy rock band with generally opaque but like still meaningful lyrics and a musical style that is somehow extremely cohesive without hardly ever sounding like itself. So part of me thinks that I'm super into They Might Be Giants because it's what nerdy guys my age are supposed to be into. Like it's just sort of the thing that happens to people like me. But I'm honestly more interested in listening to my gut here and my gut tells me that there's something good about this band. And the more and deeper I listen to any song or album I just keep finding layers of interestingness there. It gives me the sense that they make the music with the goal of like creating something simple to enjoy that has a lot of complexity within it. And they're still releasing new very good albums. They're in their late 50s and I'm sure financially stable but they're still learning new instruments and creating new ways of doing the thing that they do. Still touring, still making people happy. There's something in it that lacks pretension that leans into enthusiasm and effort that's kind of maybe infected my entire life. And that infection started with something that you brought into our house. I think the self-awareness and honesty of this music and the persona of this band is what gives it such longevity. It was never trying to be anything but what it was. But it was always trying to be interesting and good which has allowed it to be a lifelong gift for me to enjoy and also to be inspired by. I know that you didn't know that you were giving me that but thank you anyway. I wish everyone was so lucky to have such good and nerdy taste makers in their lives when they were growing up. John, I'll see you on Tuesday.
