my favorite of his, always puzzled why it got a backseat to the more gimmicky stuff. back in 04/05 I had Dress Looks Nice on You on a burned CD, think the MP3 was free on Pitchfork back when they posted those. absolutely insane that it has been 20 years 20 years ago we were starting senior, assembling the best damn lunch table the world had ever seen. i miss you guys. one of the best feelings in the world was walking into an after-dinner twilight, hopping in the car, cranking the music, and driving somewhere to go see my friends. 10/10 no notes

The Templars: The Secret History Revealed by Barbara FraleMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
wonder if she feels compelled to a Vatican-absolving narrative or is predisposed to an anti-French bias. nevertheless, a breezy read with nice historical context, though I would have liked to know what befell the banking network following the dissolution of Templars. Frale also doesn't go into the detail on their innovative cryptographic methods, curious how much state seizure occurred.
