@lumperslump.bsky.social I could be wrong but i think your house would vote with me. Vote! It's so close!! #ShamelessElectioneering

I've read 12 out of 100 on the list. How many have you read? (So far) www.theguardian.com/p/x4f9v5

FENNESZ : This was more interesting, even the one that sounded like skipping and bugged the cats.

FOUR TET : To be fair I was listening to it while running errands but I was engaging and thought "What if I was high in a dark room?" but the answer was still "i guess......"

If Ray J & Kim Kardashian never met there are about 400 globally consequential events that wouldn’t have happened and several people who should be alive would be. Anyway Spencer Pratt might become the mayor of Los Angeles.

New list dropped! (I've read 5/20 so far)

HOPE SANDOVAL : Could (and sorta is) do this in her sleep. I like it, very nice, but an also ran today.

AALIYAH - i mean what more is there to say - this is a stone cold classic.

I will never not read a Gawker story because I think its the seminal story of my generation.

Cc @carlbirkmeyer.bsky.social

PRINCESS SUPERSTAR : the only song of hers I know is this one, and I was disappointed it wasn't here and she lost my vote. youtu.be/cXTgrHruvoo?...

SILVER JEWS : I didn't listen to them at the time, and both love them and have to gird for it now. Not TERRIBLY sad until the last track, where the tear appeared. And my fave lyric "Writing sad songs and getting paid by the tear." Will wait for the afternoon whiplash!

How I discovered new music, from 1964 (Venn diagram) 1970 - present : Radio 1979 - 2018 : Magazines (Creem, Matter, The Face, Spin, RIP, Ent. Wkly more) 1983 - 1986 :College radio dj 1983 - 1992 : Clubs 1988 - 1997 : Staches, Columbus, OH 2000 - present : streaming radio 2021 - present : ppls pop*

I'm sorry again Philadelphia but JILL SCOTT COOL also killed me. You'll never let me move there if I don't shape up.

Im sorry Philadelphia, but "they aren't going to Cancun they're going to the Schuykill" made me laugh.

Wow this is next week? I don't feel like there's been any energy around it.

So was trying to listen to KEEP IT talk about the Met Gala but Radio 6 bumped me.....with this. So I guess the universe wants me to lean in.

No. He's a professor in Tasmania and he bangs on about American and Ohio politics incessantly. He was a blowhard then and looks like he still is. (He is pretty cute though, but he wears dumb hats.)

DE LA SOUL - Wow I have never heard this record in my life, and in fact it kind of sounded like.....the Roots maybe? The porn interlude was a ride. Still voting it!

May 16 is my Moms birthday. May 18 my 30th wedding anniversary. May 22 the 2nd adoptiversary of the beautiful kitty in my profile picture. My Mom died in July. My husband died in October. And now Kitty Umar has a kidney disease of unknown origin that is not responding to treatment.

DISMEMBERMENT PLAN I'm going to lose my MidAtlantic citizenship, but there are few, if any, DC bands that appeal to me. This one is Just. So. Serious. Time Bomb is a bit of a banger.

SHAKIRA : What in the adult contemporary? Vote PETE!

PETE YORN :Read @rachelalison.bsky.social 's DC, and I too love Madewell jeans and also Nj but was meh on Pete. But DANG if I didn't enjoy this! I'd forgotten the hits and the rest of it was, as others have said, much better than other guitar boys. Shakira has her work cut out for her this p.m.

Now my 1988 @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social spirit is engaged. Posted by jfotoman today - where I was 38 years ago today - seeing this adorable Rob Zombie open for Die Kreuzen

RYAN ADAMS : perfectly pleasant Sunday afternoon at the brewery music (derogatory) that I would never willingly select as anything other than background music while drinking a sour and not really listening.

THE STROKES - This record/band could have collapsed under the weight of expectations, or the backlash of expectations, but instead we have The Strokes doing a Kneecap at Coachella. Who woulda thunk it? That run from Someday to Hard to Explain is an all timer.

2 99s, a 100 and 2 botches. I have Ukraine amnesia (i want it to be on the top and.....it isn't. www.maptap.gg May 6 99🎯 99🎯 48😟 100🎯 64🙃 Final score: 786

JOE STRUMMER This record is joyous, and I saw them on this tour and the whole show was joyous.

This one is really hitting the spot right now.

BETA BAND : I've always found them simultaneously interesting and boring. Does that make sense? This fed both of those streams equally.

We stan our late and gorgeous queen.

Omg shut UP Katy Perry!

@missclare.bsky.social did someone say Tom of Finland?

K. She has a lovely voice, but all in all glad to vote for the favorite today after a tough week last week.

LE TIGRE was always my favorite of the feministy bands because the music behind it was good and they had a sense of humor. ITS OK TO HATE YOUR JOB still hit me today! (Count me in as one of those who have no idea what I'm going to hear this afternoon!)

I'm in a huge downward spiral which had me feeling like there was a lesson that life was trying to teach me that I wasn't getting. Today I'm convinced that the lesson is "Don't move to the suburbs. They suck."

@billiecassin.bsky.social they need your votes!!!

SUPERCHUNK has never done anything for me musically and this is just very MOR indie rock. Lucinda all day

LUCINDA : The definition of "what I needed today' and the best listening experience of the week. I was surprised when I saw how well reviewed/awarded this was, I guess it suffers from coming after Car Wheels so I don't think of it.

LUDACRIS If you get a little high and take a walk those last 2 long songs really fill the bill.

Egypt is my main. When @zacharylipez.bsky.social posted this when I was researching, I was delighted to find a SALEH to nominate. #YNWA

FUGAZI : Even if I wasn't an Ian Mackaye hater, which I am, what even is this? The first song sounds like RHCP and the rest of it is full of wanking. (I am having a terrible day so my filter is off but I am very ready for party rap)

@ineeddirection.bsky.social look at these adorable pics of young Mark Eitzel! reneekvelkoff.net/rock-and-rol...

I spent a lot of time last night watching KMKY clips to answer this question and I laughed my ass off while also asking "Why is this so funny?"

WEEZER - Voted for it with 70% sincerity and 30% spite. I had a blast singing along to it on my gloomy rainy commute home tonight.

Röyksopp : its a vibe, that I enjoy enough in the wild, but would rarely actively choose. Also a good half of it has become tv ads so Ah There's that Geico caveman song.

Me to the therapist : I've been feeling really low mentally (lists litany of reasons why) or maybe its because Jamie Ding lost on Jeopardy.

GARBAGE - Pop music nothing but pop music from Lollapalooza OGs. If you had given this to me in a plain wrapper I'm not sure I would have known it was Garbage. UNDECIDED - leaning towards Garbage.

ANDREW W.K. - I like to party, but a little of this went quite a long way. I might just have to hand it to him though.

SAMI : Fully Kitted out. ALMA : Strong hair. Edge : SAMI
