Regardless if you think #StrangerThings was a masterpiece or a nostalgic cash-grab, there's no denying how all 5 seasons introduced #Prince, #Bowie, #KateBush, and #IronMaiden to a younger audience. Over at @beardedgmusic.bsky.social I take a closer look! beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/01/08/s...

Happy Birthday David Bowie! One of my all time favorite artists in and out of the world. Here's a drawing I did

I made a comment about AC/DC to a friend of mine and it made me want to listen to AC/DC. Is that how this works? This music is just so dumb, but extremely fun. This is another band kinda ruined by their radio hits being overplayed.

Will Renee Nicole Good's partner have to tell their babies their mother is out buying blueberries with Jesus, start prepping an Eras Grief Tour complete with pyrotechnics, confetti and neon lasers while dressed in a leopard print leather catsuit, groping their favorite politician? Probably not.

Bro showed up with a 4 year old song and dethroned Taylor like she was Vecna of the music industry...

@deathangel.bsky.social hey its good to see you on BlueSky! I didn't know you were here!

January 1st, and I'm still being subject to hearing an over-singing cover of "Feliz Navidad" and Miley Cyrus yelling "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" at my local gas station while I freeze to death getting fuel. It's like society refuses to take a shower and brush its rotten teeth.

know its weird but a couple years ago I wrote a piece on how INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY syncs up with The Beatles' MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR album and you should probably check it out. beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2023/07/07/i...

BEHOLD: the shortest review I've ever written.

I think I ate a little bit of the paper the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup sits in, but you know, that's okay. What are ya gonna do?

Have yourself a MURRAY little Christmas....

All I want for Christmas is to win that Powerball.

Ever since I was a kid, my Mom always gets me Chucks for Christmas. This year she got me this killer leather boot variant! A little sophistication with your rock n' roll, if you will lol

Remember the time when I wrote an article about Mariah Carey and music theory that pissed off a journalism professor so much, he sent me an email asking me to never to mention him in any social media posts about said article ever again? Yeah, that happened. beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2019/11/26/u...

2025 was awful, but at least the soundtrack slapped. Over at Bearded Gentlemen Music, I wrote about the TOP 25 ALBUMS OF 2025! Which one made it to the top? De La Soul? Museum Of Light? FACS? Ministry? Deftones? Give it a read! beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2025/12/18/c...

In the meadow we can build a snowman and pretend that he is Clancy Brown ...

Its wild that so many people are seeking out that former Nickelodeon star to film him and take photos because he's unhoused. Society is just a disgusting ouroboros of exploitation, isn't it?

Check out this mini vinyl record my niece got me for Christmas! It has all the original artwork, linear notes, and inner sleeve like the original only a fraction of the size! (and yes, it plays and sounds great at 33 rpm)

I'm a Qobuz user for music streaming. But I'm certain if I did most of my listening in Spotify that'd I'd be in the top 1% of listeners of Dio's Rainbow in the Dark. It just makes me feel good, and I'm pretty sure it wards off evil.

If you thought 2025 was a boring year for entertainment, lemme take a closer look at how bad popular music was. Oh boy, it's all here. Taylor, Will, Trent, Adam, and Axl. I'm sorry but if I had to listen, you have to read it. THE WORST SONGS OF 2025... beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2025/12/08/w...

Sad to hear about the passing of Carl Carlton. Every time I hear his cover of "Everlasting Love", I think about being a little kid and my Dad waxing his truck playing Oldies 104.3. Even as a kid, I knew it was an incredibly performed song before I knew what a good song was. youtu.be/SqT1y5Qi6l0?...

Toby Dog prints in the winter snow...

"2000 Miles" never fails to wreck me.

Rock is dead, the charts moved on from Hip-Hop, and Pop has given up. So what are we supposed to listen to? From #TaylorSwift, #TateMcRae, to #NIN and #GnR, @aarxn82.bsky.social has listened to the bad so you don't have to. This is THE WORST SONGS OF 2025. beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2025/12/08/w...

I know that everyone loves that I'm a big hater. So tomorrow I'm giving you all your favorite article of the year: THE WORST SONGS OF 2025! And boy oh boy, it's a big one! I can't wait for you all to read it!

Toby Dog enjoys a holiday themed nap.

🧵 Unpopular Opinion: I believe that The Last Jedi is - by far- the best of the recent Star Wars movies I also believe that, but for Canto Bight and Leia Poppins, it is quite a good movie @rianjohnson.bsky.social did a great job I wrote about it at the time: ypsifactj.medium.com/star-wars-th...

'Tis the season to enjoy Christmas music, so I decided to chat with @ronniemartin.bsky.social about his love of the holiday and what inspires him to craft such excellent tunes. My interview at @beardedgmusic.bsky.social - beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2025/12/04/r...

With #FRANKENSTEIN, Guillermo Del Toro finally brings his passion project to life. But what is he really trying to say with this reimagining? Gabbo Parra reviews beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2025/12/05/f...

I get Spotify free with my phone service but I rarely don't listen to any streaming services. My Wrapped is probably the same as it was last year. I have a 2 terabyte thumb drive in my truck and when I'm at home I'm listening to vinyl or Bandcamp.

I wonder what that MRI said, exactly....

The first half of Stranger Things 5 is one character saying "If my theory is correct, there's another way..." and another one answering with "..but that doesn't make any sense." Followed by a cut to someone unrolling a map or chart on a table with the entire cast surrounding it looking puzzled.

Why was Clark thirsting for the girl at the mall when he had Helen (The Smoke Show) at home, anyway?

For the late night crowd, check out my latest article on @beardedgmusic.bsky.social and let me know the best tape, CD, or album you received as a gift? beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2025/12/02/t...

Gifting music can be risky, especially if you're not sure what kind of music the individual regularly listens to. However, @rmac53b.bsky.social shares his experience gambling with the latest record from @thebeths.bsky.social beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2025/12/02/t...

Its wild how Republicans/faux-Chrsitians/Conservatives hate on sex workers and 'PoRnOGrAphY" but go absolutely ga-ga over Melania Trump's nudes.

Doesn't it feel like everyone is chasing nostalgia these days? You're probably assuming things were better 'back in the day', yeah? In this article, I take a deeper dive into the real reasoning behind that feeling. Check it out! beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2025/09/08/l...

Toby Dog is upset because I won't let him spend the entire day in the snow.

If you're not eating the last slice of chocolate pie straight out the tin, is Thanksgiving really over?

I have a lot to be thankful for this year. My family, friends, loved ones, but most importantly, my Mom's health. Now, on to plate number 3...

No large family get-together this year. Just Mom and my brother (and Toby Dog). So I plan on eating 10 times and play Zelda all day. I'm finally living the dream of 10 year old me.

boiled hog leaf is unquestionably the worst thanksgiving staple. can't believe there are hundreds of millions of people in america in 2025 eating boiled hog leaf at their thanks giving table. when i see boiled hog leaf i say "no thank you!" right away. keep that boiled hog leaf away from me!
