"Call it generational disaffection, call it male posturing, call it playing it cool, but that aloof quality in Pavement is, ironically, what helped me connect so strongly to their music in the first place, not just because I found it comparatively unembarrassing to wearing your heart on your sleeve but because talking around or past your feelings—wanting to say something and not being quite sure how to say it, or feeling that to rupture the silence around a feeling was to corrupt it—seemed emotionally accurate in a way full disclosure never was. The elliptical language, the cloaks of feedback and noise, the almosts and not-quites: This was the truth told, slant." - Mike Powell

The world record for the longest human long jump is greater than the world record for the longest horse long jump. Mike Powell set the human record in 1991 by jumping 8.95m, while a horse named Something under Andre Ferreira jumped 8.25m in 1975. – WTF Fun Facts

the bedrock upon which the rest of experience ebbs and flows

“Ordinary isn’t the enemy but instead something nourishing and unavoidable, the bedrock upon which the rest of experience ebbs and flows. Embrace this — the warm water, the pruned hands, the prismatic gleam of the bubbles and the steady passage from dish to dish to dish — and feel, however briefly, the breath of actual time, a reality that lies dormant and plausible under all the clutter we pile on top of it. A bird makes its indecipherable call to another bird, a song from a passing car warps in the Doppler effect and I’m reminded, if only for a moment, that I need a lot less than I think I do and that I don’t have to leave my kitchen to get it.”

– Mike Powell, An Ode to Washing the Dishes (NY Times Magazine, June 4, 2019)

No other gospel musician has come as close to convincing me that Jesus’ love might not stress me out.
