Our second daughter plowed through Mad Men this year, and our youngest went through The Wire, so we've been having arguments about Mad Men vs. The Wire vs. Breaking Bad vs. The Sopranos all Christmas break. It's been fun!
Damon, check out "The Holdovers". I really enjoyed it. It reminds me of everything that was great about the indie film era (late 90s early 00s). Plus Paul Giamatti is fabulous. As a total silly lark also check out "Quiz Lady".
A member of our community here as been nice enough to create a Spotify playlist of my Top 10 songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6Zqlqn6mX3TYMtTDFJB1EB?si=fxlLQMwuQ96yQNdUxlwbbg&pi=u-2jX96B84TbCG
Oh my, what a year! Thanks for the look back Damon.

McKay Coppins is a fab prose writer.
Do you have all those songs on a Spotify playlist? Or do I have to go make it? :). Thanks for a great year-- I appreciate your voice so much
Here you go! I called it “Damon Linker 2023” https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6Zqlqn6mX3TYMtTDFJB1EB?si=fxlLQMwuQ96yQNdUxlwbbg&pi=u-2jX96B84TbCG
Given your affinity for Jason Isbell, you should check out the band Houndmouth. More like the Band, but great songwriting, singing and harmonies
Thanks Damon, this is one of my “disagree” Substacks, but I really love your writing and your thoughtfulness
