Wednesday - Twin PlaguesIn a long and emotionally exhausting year of being inside (alone, in my case,) I have found myself thinking about mirrors. How to avoid spending too much time in them, most days. Taking inventory of the real, physical self is difficult work, work that I'm not entirely opposed to but work that became immediately more treacherous for me when I had to witness the very real toll that time, modern anxieties, isolation, and boredom were taking on me.

In a long and emotionally exhausting year of being inside (alone, in my case,) I have found myself thinking about mirrors. How to avoid spending too much time in them, most days. Taking inventory of the real, physical self is difficult work, work that I'm not entirely opposed to but work that became immediately more treacherous for me when I had to witness the very real toll that time, modern anxieties, isolation, and boredom were taking on me. It was easier, it seemed, to spiral into a not-so-distant glorious past, to use memory as a tool of both excitement and healing. But, speaking of excitement, I like to stumble towards a band with no agenda, no purpose, uncovering sound almost on accident. This is how I first heard Wednesday. The band came to me and I don't remember how, or why. They simply arrived, as if we'd been traveling toward each other our whole lives. I Was Trying To Describe You To Someone soaked into my summer of 2020, and in sound, in spirit, in central concerns and the execution of them, it took me back to an era before the current era, which I'd needed at the time. The past can feel less hellish than the present if we are, sometimes, not fully honest with ourselves. There is the trick of nostalgia that I spend a lot of time playing with in my own writing, and somewhat tormented by in my own living. The very real idea that nostalgia is both a useful tool and also a weapon if it isn't paired with something that approaches a type of rigorous honesty. But if I may go back to all of these ideas of nostalgia and our old, tricky, past selves that are, indeed, a part of the house of bricks that make up our present self, what I also hope you, listener, might adore about this album is the exact moment at the start of "The Burned Down Dairy Queen" when Karly sings I was hiding in a room in my mind / and I made me take a look at myself. Because if you, like me, have been avoiding mirrors - both metaphorical and real - this is where the album becomes a lighthouse, echoing bright across the darkness of my otherwise dark and empty chambers. So much of these songs meditate on the past in far less romantic ways than I have found myself meditating on the past, and I was desperate for the recalibration that this album provided. So, yes, the songs are good. You will maybe roll down your windows on a comfortable day on the right stretch of road in a warm season and turn the volume up when "Birthday Song" gets good and loud and singalong-able. You might sit atop a rooftop at night, closer to the moon than you were on the ground, and let "Ghost Of A Dog" churn and rattle you to some nighttime realization that you couldn't have had in silence. But, even on top of all of this, on top of all the pleasures and the mercies that the sounds on this album might afford. I hope and think, too, that it will remind anyone who listens that we are a collection of many reflections. All of them deserving patience. -Hanif Abdurraqib

Good Bananas
I recently had the pleasure of trying some really good bananas, and they quickly became a household favorite. These bananas were top-notch in terms of taste, nutritional value, and versatility. While they may not come fully ripe, the wait is well worth it, as they are perfect to eat and enjoyed by both kids and adults alike. One of the standout features of these bananas is their nutritional value. Bananas are known for being an excellent source of potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber. They provide a natural energy boost and are a great choice for a healthy snack or as part of a balanced meal. These really good bananas lived up to their reputation, offering a nutritious and delicious option for everyone in the family. The fact that these bananas don't come fully ripe adds to their appeal. While some may prefer to eat bananas when they are perfectly yellow, the slightly green hue of these bananas means you can enjoy them at different stages of ripeness. This allows for greater flexibility in incorporating them into various recipes and dishes. One of the best ways to enjoy these bananas is by adding them to pancakes. The natural sweetness and creamy texture of the bananas complement the fluffy pancakes perfectly. Whether mashed and mixed into the batter or sliced and placed on top, these bananas add a burst of flavor and a delightful touch to every bite. The kids absolutely loved them, and it turned breakfast into a fun and enjoyable experience. In addition to pancakes, these bananas are also perfect for making smoothies. Their creamy texture blends well with other fruits and ingredients, creating a refreshing and nutritious drink. Whether you prefer a classic banana smoothie or like to experiment with different flavor combinations, these bananas are a must-have ingredient. Another great thing about these really good bananas is how versatile they are. They can be enjoyed on their own as a quick and healthy snack, sliced and added to cereal or yogurt, or even used in baking recipes. Their natural sweetness elevates any dish they are added to, making them a go-to ingredient for a wide range of culinary creations. In conclusion, I highly recommend these really good bananas for their taste, nutritional value, and versatility. While they may require a few days of ripening, the wait is worthwhile as they become the perfect fruit to eat. Whether you're enjoying them in pancakes, smoothies, or any other way you prefer, these bananas will bring a smile to your face and provide you with a dose of essential nutrients. Don't miss out on the opportunity to enjoy these wonderful bananas and create memorable moments with your family.

Good bananas!
Taste great, good sized, and while just barely ripe enough to eat when they arrive, they get better and sweeter every day.

Always high quality.
Never bruised, never green, good sized and tasty. Ripen evenly and generally last a while instead of spotting out in a day or never ripening at all. Always a good bunch of (6-7) regardless of product description (4-5). Stems are wrapped.

YUM
These are really fresh bananas and the color and size were perfect. They taste sweet and I will deliberately allow two to go over ripe for banana bread. Love the same size in the bunch. I'll order them again......the value alone makes me want to reorder them here.
