Make a resolution to continue supporting human culture in 2026

One of my favorite jazz albums of 2025. Okonski’s got some Bill Evans energy. okonski.bandcamp.com/album/entran...

Dry January also applies to reverb.

Going into 2026 like…

The world's 500 richest people added a record $2.2 trillion to their collective fortunes in 2025, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which found just eight billionaires accounted for about a quarter of those gains.

How 2026 was depicted in the sci-fi classic 'Metropolis' (1927)

The Q Lazzarus documentary, Goodbye Horses, is available on the @criterionchannl.bsky.social app. Just added that to the watch list. 📽️ #musicsky

The Nardwuar and Alchemist interview is fantastic. Mobb Deep stories, Canadian rap arcana, DJ Muggs lore, and more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhkW...

seeing Moby talk this up & play it when he was a guest VJ on a free trial of MTV2 low key changed my life. so much music i love stems from that dumb luck of channel-surfing in high school. #musicsky

"Hey Dre, bring the Tanqueray"

The correct answer is This Is America or Wynona's Big Brown Beaver or Come To Daddy or Sabotage... but I adore this one every bit as much. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5Fy...

Beavis and Butthead probably introduced a ton of people to bands like Ween, Morbid Angel and Crowbar

The news of MTV’s demise is sort of like the passing of Brigitte Bardot: I was more surprised to find that it hadn’t already happened.

I really enjoyed this gem of a synth album released on Balmat in January, but I only saw it on a couple of (extremely good) year-end lists. #ambient #musicsky balmat.bandcamp.com/album/psychi...

MTV officially dead after 44 years, end of an era unless you grew up in the 80’s/90’s, it’s hard to grasp the cultural significance of MTV at the time, but its longest lasting legacy will be “The Real World” ushering in decades of cheap reality TV to this day RIP collider.com/mtv-official...

Rocafort has compiled a half-dozen rare soul tunes released by Stone Records out of Macon, GA in the 1960s. This is one of my favorites from the set of singles. #soulsky #musicsky rocafortrecords.bandcamp.com/track/alice-...

Put this on your NYE playlist fr

Like listening to technotronic pitched down from some heavy weed and carried on the smoke to become part of the atmosphere, but also dance music. 1-800girls.bandcamp.com/track/there-...

Hat tip to @synthstatic.bsky.social’s top 10 list for putting me onto this adventurous record of stylistic intersections from Colombia (a solo project from a member of Frente Cumbiero). A bit of dub, jazz, cumbia and more. #musicsky #newmusic ayarecords.bandcamp.com/album/viaje-...

Ruin two bands by combining them: Dr John Bon Jovi

I am fascinated by people who "don't have time" to listen to music how can that be possible

No one assumes I’m a goth babe. Is that bias?

They were a Jars of Clay cover band

I really enjoyed Marty Supreme (the trailer doesn’t do justice to the film), and I’m glad to know which Safdie Bro was turning the knobs to 11 on Uncut Gems. The anachronistic music choices were a little jarring at first but then they cumulatively add a lot to the tone of the movie by the end. 📽️

Found this one via the end of year list from @reclinernotes.bsky.social and have been digging the spacey pedal steel jam prowess of Barry Walker Unit (who is also part of Rose City Band). The opening tune feels like an early 70s Grateful Dead jam. barrywalker.bandcamp.com/album/barry-...

Found Laurie Anderson's quote just now "Try doing your very worst work. Do the worst song you can possibly think of... At the most, you're going to get something that's better than anything you've ever done because it has a lot of pure energy".

Without fail, as soon as the EOY list drops, there’s a December album that deserves to be on the list. Raw Brooklyn rap from a lady whose lyricism stands out against fire beat selections. Feels like a classic. #hiphop #musicsky salimatasalimata.bandcamp.com/album/the-ha...

Ruin two band names by combining them: Kate Bush Bush

Alice In Pain

Internet beefing over politics is a tar pit. Taking power is the only real game out there.

Impeccable low-key, spacey jazz guitar grooves for retro-futuristic-noir detective cases. youtu.be/IgCL-kuXS-c?...

I was invited to be an extra at the wedding reception after-party of one of the producers of Jackass. The whole gang was there taking shots and playing Guitar Hero in a bar I frequented.

Extremely chill soul-chop beats for rainy days. youtu.be/b3-xyEgwvgo?...

Music wins again. “After examining the data, they found that both soft and joyful music had the best effects, with soft music reducing instances of motion sickness by 56.7 percent and joyful music by 57.3 percent. These were followed by passionate and sad music”

I've just released the usual FREE festive EP as a small token of my gratitude for all the support for my music again this year over on my Bandcamp page. I hope you enjoy it and thanks once again. ❤️🙏 veryan.bandcamp.com/album/broken...

Via an old YouTube acct I forgot about, I rediscovered a video I uploaded has >20k views now lol. It's a man setting himself on fire and running the bases at Grayson Stadium during a Savannah Sand Gnats game (who later became the Bananas). Circa 2009. youtu.be/hh83QrLlrMU?...
