Got three job rejections in one day so I'm going to ask again for your help finding a new full-stack web development job. My website/portfolio is available at https://casey.kolderup.org. I'm a great team member and I've worked at small startups and medium-sized companies with success working across teams and disciplines.

The other two are EPs. The Dan Bern EP is a full-band set that was recorded in Fall 2020 with all parties remote (obviously). An old favorite on there in “Butterflies,” a song from the 1990s which gets its first studio recording here. A timely song about George Floyd.

The Mangan thing is a sampler of songs from his great release, “Nice, Nice, Very Nice.”

The Ben Folds album was formative to me back in high school, and even at the time the title song felt like a novelty but there is a lot of stuff on there that is really good still.

Been a minute since I heard a Lorde album, and missed the last one entirely I think because it was never released on CD (or not at the time, at least). This one is very good - what I’d expect, maybe, from the continuation of Lorde but it’s okay to have a predictable sound if you’re good.

You can carry over the same thought to the Rufus CD as well.

The Divine Comedy disc is a little oddity, demos for a musical that itself never had a cast album.

Playing today:

Lorde, “Virgin”
Rufus Wainwright, “Unfollow the Rules”
The Divine Comedy, “Swallows and Amazons: The Original Piano Demos”
Dan Bern and the Remote Ramblers, “Shining”
Ben Folds, “Rockin’ the Suburbs”
Dan Mangan, “Robots vs. Indie Queens”

Album covers -

Lorde, Virgin - no text on cover. A pelvic x-ray with a belt buckle, zipper, and IUD visible.

Rufus Wainwright, Unfollow the Rules - a sepia tone image of the artist with a zip-up fringe shirt over a background of cartooon clouds and a woman’s shadow

The Divine Comedy - Swallows and Amazons. A brown cardboard sleeve with a book-style inlay map of Wild Cat Island.

Dan Bern - shining - a digitalized/pixelated photo of a person walking on a beach with the sun on the horizon, artificially shifted to heavy reds and yellows

Ben Folds - Rockin the Suburbs - black and white phot of the artist at piano, glass on top of piano in the foreground

If Bongo Comics decided to finally (re)release their comics lines in mainstream digital comics channels (or license for the same), I’d become very poor very fast. #TheSimpsons #futurama

Listening today:

David Bowie, “Rock ‘N’ Roll Star”

That’s all for today - 5 discs of “pretty much everything” associated with “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy…” It’s never everything, though - seems like there’s always something on a previous release that remains exclusive and you have to hold onto everything forever.

#music #davidbowie

Box set cover - no text. Black and white. A young David Bowie in a floral patterned shirt holding a guitar over a black smoky background

The Gracie Abrams album is something I picked up blind based on one song. It was fine, a few pretty good tracks and some tracks that are just okay. The eternal gamble of purchasing physical CDs - even in an era where supporting the streaming behemoth theoretically exists…

This is probably my least favorite of Elliott’s albums, but still has a lot of great stuff on it. No Name #1, Last Call, Condor Ave.

#music #elliottsmith #gracieabrams

The Bern album is a double CD thing that he released independently (in Canada?) shortly after his major label debut album. Some of his great early songs, including a few songs that went on to be re-recorded better with #AniDifranco on his next album Fifty Eggs.

The Divine Comedy album is definitely short, but among my favorites of Neil Hannon’s. No fat on it.

#DanBern #TheDivineComedy #music

Listening today:

Dan Bern, “Smartie Mine”
The Divine Comedy, “A Short Album About Love”
Gracie Abrams, “The Story of Us”
Elliott Smith, “Roman Candle”

#DanBern #TheDivineComedy #music #elliottsmith #gracieabrams

Album covers:

Dan Bern, Smartie Mine - the artist standing facing camera in a black leather jacket with a scarf against a bright white background. A woman in the background, washed out in the light, sitting on her knees and facing to her right.

The Divine Comedy, A Short Album About Love - close-up of singer Neil Hannon through a window with raindrops on it, looking to his right with his hand against the window

Gracie Abrams, The Story of Us - close-up of the artist’s head on a white background, eyes looking to her left

Elliott Smith, Roman Candle - a black and white picture of a woman and a man, neither the artist, with winter hats and coffee, walking through what appears to be a jewelry stand on the street with a vendor and a shopper

We were too late to see Wicked 2 in theaters around here, apparently. Figuring out tonight’s dinner now - a rare meal that won’t be pizza!

The other tenth birthday picks were 1) takeout pizza for Dog Man with ice cream cake, 2) Dave and Busters for lunch on Saturday, which was Very Loud, and 3) homemade pizza pinwheels with chocolate chip cookies for the Tall Girl movies.

Movies 2-4 of 2026. All my kid’s picks for her tenth birthday weekend.

Dog Man was a rewatch - saw it in theaters. It was cute enough, but I’m genuinely glad that we’re aging up more often than not out of cartoons and into romcoms and one of my favorite genres, teen melodrama.
The two Tall Girl movies were the latter category and they were just fine Netflixy examples.

#movies #dogman #tallgirl

Poster - Dog Man. Tagline: “Part Dog. part Man. All hero.” A cartoon dog in a police uniform, two orange cartoon cats, a woman reporter with red hair, a male police officer looking angry.

Tall Girl. Tagline - when you don’t fit in, stand talks. A very tall girl with a group of Fellow Teens around her, and world famous tiny person Sabrina Carpenter in front wearing a tiara and sash.

Tall Girl 2 poster - tagline Growing Up is a Tall Order. A collage of character portraits in rectangles on a white background. Largest box is the titular tall girl. There is also world famous Sabrina Carpenter, a bunch of teens, a couple of parents. You know the sorts.

I haven’t been in a #Spencers Gifts in like 25 years, but it appears that they still have The Goods

“Knock on the Door” by Phil Ochs

Look over the oceans, look over the lands
Look over the leaders with the blood on their hands
And open your eyes and see what they do
When they knock over there, friend, they're knocking for you
With their knock on the door, knock on the door
Here they come to take one more
With their knock on the door, knock on the door
Here they come to take one more
