The Wall
Eight things I framed. A mood board for ambition before it pays out.
Taste
Ranked, framed, or stuck to a wall. These are mine, not for you.
A throughline runs under all of this: I'm drawn to the lone figure before the story got clean. The kid studying under a shadow he can't see yet. The wanderer above the fog. The band that almost didn't make the record. Honest about what it is, and caught mid-climb. Same question I ask people on the show.
Loose ends
Breaking Bad
Still the best argument for consequences. Nobody gets away clean.
Arctic Monkeys
A reminder that confidence works better when it is underplayed.
Windows 2000
Ugly in the right way. Clear buttons. Clear edges. No hand-holding.
