The Arctic Monkeys are the 44th most streamed artist IN THE WORLD right now.

No matter what changes in my musical listening habits, all the 20-25 year old albums from the Mountain Goats still feel like a revelation to me, a weirdly affecting and energizing collection of short stories. The boombox Flannery O’Connor. open.spotify.com/track/4KE1Ct...

At the end of the day, every day for almost a month, the only thing I can listen to is Bedhead

Here is a picture of 108 that has come up on my Instagram feed a few times this week that really captures the whole thing pretty perfectly.

The most important hardcore band that is being lost to time is 108

Son, there's a difference between grindcore and powerviolence that people are gonna tell you isn't important, doesn't matter, but I want you to know that it's life and death. This is more important than whether or not you're a good person. This is everything.

Here's a little story that didnt make the book. In 2001, Mike Park played the biggest set of his life. It was his first time in Korea as a professional musician: the Busan International Rock Festival 🧵

100%. Korine has 2, maybe 3 full classics and him being dumb as fuck is essential to the success of all of them

Just closed 23 tabs and submitted my first book draft.

Keegan grabs some change for the turnpike. Sweats out the sins from last night.

I have been writing a book about the Hold Steady for so long that I have started to narrate my day to day life in Craig Finn Voice

The world needs to understand how good the Recess Theory was.

Rubber Soul is good as all fuck brother

i’ve shifted my opinion from “sean mcdermott firing was weird” to “sean mcdermott was done dirty” to “sean mcdermott might be the greatest coach ever for holding all these insane people together and winning through the complete nonsense we didnt see”

When the metal album so good you gotta switch from AirPods to wired headphones >>>

Crazy that pop-punk has completely supplanted emo as the default ‘youth music’ for tapped-in younger listeners

Re: Sean McDermott getting fired, I ask once again: why are all these GMs keeping their jobs when they bear more responsibility for team failure?

Fire McDermott and promote Beane … the kind of big brain genius shit only the fucking Bills could manage

Playing Persona 5, and I think the games that most directly connect with the neurons in my brain are the Xenoblade and Persona series (and a handful of Final Fantasies)

evergreen

I literally cannot believe what I’m seeing

Yelling my ass off

Bears Down. 😔

Honestly do not see why Denver should be scared of either of these teams even without Nix at QB, both of these QBs are not so much folding under the pressure as they’re turning into origami cranes under the pressure

one of these garbage teams is going to be in the superbowl huh?

This might be the worst football game of all time.

Without the Bills the AFC is a clown show, just chum for the Seahawks

I want to go on tour again, 1. Because I love playing music, but especially 2. Because I want to fuck around and drink beers and wander cities in the South and the Midwest

[James Murphy voice] I was there when Ceremony played Skatepark of Tampa on the Rohnert Park tour, before Skatepark of Tampa was Transitions Art Gallery or Epic Problem or 688, when the kids would graffiti the highway soundwall behind the venue before the shows. I was there.
