By Magpies on September 19, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )

With its mix of musical styles, languages, accents, and voices, the album is a perfect tribute to the witty and self-deprecating, pretty and noisy, relatable and strange, hopefully despondent music of Jeffrey Lewis.

By Magpies on September 16, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )

By Magpies on September 12, 2022 • ( 1 Comment )

The film is full of misunderstandings and half-spoken thoughts and desires….And yet, the real joy of the film is the moments of understanding between people.

By Magpies on September 5, 2022 • ( 4 Comments )

It strikes me as funny that many of the laborers in our workforce don’t actually get to call labor day a holiday. It’s part of our complicated history of attitudes about work, about people who work, and about the jobs they do.
