TCM is playing GASLIGHT (1944) at the same time other networks are broadcasting the State Of The Union Address LOL

Toby Dog is wondering why I'm eating dinner and not playing with him.

I guess my claim to fame will be @rollingstone.com stealing my joke.

While you were all hot and bothered for Green Day on the Super Bowl only to be disappointed when they refused to say anything, THIS kid was literally out there punching a Nazi out.

I bought these treats for Toby Dog because they look like little hot dogs. Lemme tell you: homeboy loves him some glizzys because he has gone WILD for them!

If you forgot to get a Valentine card for your main squeeze (or side piece, who am I to judge?) I got you covered?

With EVERYWHERE ISN'T TEXAS, August Ponthier proves they're one of the most interesting voices in Americana. @rmac53b.bsky.social takes a closer listen beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/02/12/a...

It's the perfect day to share my @beardedgmusic.bsky.social article series, CRYSTAL LAKE CONFESSIONAL, where I take a deep dive into the making of each film in the #FridayThe13th series featuring interviews with writers, actors, composer, and directors! beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2020/06/19/c...

This is a great piece by @rmac53b.bsky.social and this is a WONDERFUL album. Please give this a read and check out the album when it drops tomorrow!

Donald Trump is upset because he just now realized Kid Rock isn't an actual kid.

I told you all for months...no, YEARS, what Green Day was. But you were all basking in the performative masturbation, hook line and sinker, and said I was wrong. Your boys are capitalist suckers. Always were.

It's Toby Dog's birthday! He turns a year old today! He is currently enjoying his birthday haul and all of the attention lol

I need water bro, please bro please. I can't live like this bro. Please

Taylor Swift makes music for the people who think "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies is Hip-Hop.

Brand New World Order

U2 put the unredacted Epstein files on everyone's iTunes

With URGH (on Sacred Bones Records), @mandyindiana.bsky.social has staked its claim as one of the boldest and most inventive voices in rock music today. @dryvetyme.bsky.social reviews beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/02/05/m...

Toby Dog didn't wanna play this morning. He wanted breakfast.

I had the opportunity to talk with Kula Shaker frontman, Crispian Mills the other day. We discussed the making of their new record, the creative process behind music videos, and how the band continues to run smoothly. Please check it out! beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/02/03/k...

As #KulaShaker celebrates the release of their colossal album, WORMSLAYER, @aarxn82.bsky.social catches up with frontman, Crispian Mills to talk about the writing process, his creative family, and how psyche is more important than ever. beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/02/03/k...

Madonna's "Ray Of Light" is a strong contender for the most perfect pop song. If you listen to the instrumental, you can tell William Orbit composed the song to work without vocals yet retain all the energy and forward motion. What a track! Forever banger! youtu.be/3uS5lyXrbWQ?...

Pharrell on the Grammy stage telling me to never stop working meanwhile, I'm 43 years old, work physical labor 50 hours a week out of necessity and will probably die young like my Dad before me and Grandfather before him....

Billie Eilish at the Grammys: "No one is illegal on stolen land..." Me at home:

I hope Chappelle Roan takes her time sitting down at the #GRAMMYs or her dress could earn her a first class ticket to the emergency room...

You could be complaining about the music on the #GRAMMYs but over at @beardedgmusic.bsky.social, I've already compiled the defacto list of the WORST music 2025 had to offer! Go check it out! Sorry. beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2025/12/08/w...

It's a bummer that my publication, Bearded Gentlemen Music doesn't have the followers or community here on Bluesky as it did on Twitter. If you're interested in music reviews, interviews, podcast, easays, and film discussion, please consider following (and sharing) @beardedgmusic.bsky.social

Sundays are for vinyl

Every morning Toby Dog is thinking about breakfast and only breakfast.

Beyond stoked to get the killer new record from Kula Shaker on vinyl! Gonna drop the needle on the wax and celebrate the cosmic purpose! Thank you Reybee, Inc.!

If the guitarist in the doom metal band looks like this, you're gonna die in the pit

. @lapecheband.bsky.social "AUTOTELIC is a perfect record for music fans who love big sounds and an even bigger heart. @dryvetyme.bsky.social reviews beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/01/30/l...

Somewhere between sugary power pop and psychedelic raga, Kula Shaker returns with WORMSLAYER. A mystical listen that solidifies the band's longevity in the Brit Pop lexicon. @aarxn82.bsky.social reviews beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/01/23/k...

It's hard to focus on music these days, but not making time for the things that bring us joy and make us human, is the path to losing your humanity. With that said @almightydanish.bsky.social is back with the latest SKA, PUNK & OTHER JUNK! beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/01/27/s...

I bought this cassette 30 years ago today. FILTH PIG by Ministry. I was 13 and I *think* it was the first time I had ever bought an album on the day of its release. Still my favorite Ministry record and still relevant today. Maybe even more so than ever, tbh.

I'm no longer a teenager but I somehow survived seeing 4 hardcore noise bands last night starting at 9pm. My ears are still ringing and my body has reminded me I have a bad knee since 11pm. Was it worth it? Yes.

Earlier today, I had the opportunity to interview someone from a band I grew up listening to and it was pretty cool!

My Wednesday as follows: Listen to new KREATOR album. Watch WONDERMAN. Conduct interview with a legacy band. Eat. See BIRD LAW at the Empty Bottle. Sleep.

She did it. Sydney Sweeney is the only person on the entire planet that has made me, a warm blooded straight, white, American man, tired of hearing about tits....

The hook in "Free Your Mind" by En Vouge sounds like the hook in Alice Cooper's "Feed My Frankenstein". Make of that what you will.

The funniest thing about the south being annihilated by 4 inches of snow is remembering every time I complained about 108 degrees being hot, a random cowboy shows up, grabs his crotch, spits on my shoe and says "YALL, DON'T KNOW BOUT HEAT. THAT AINT NOTHIN. ITS A HUNNRD FI'TEEN B'FORE NOON, HERE!"

Chat, look at Toby Dog. Just...look at him

Sometimes you're shot in the face in your driveway, sometimes you're a six year old detained in cuffs. Sometimes you're held down, surrendered, and shot in the back of the head 5 times. Sometimes you're the privileged red neck on the couch cheering for it. Is America great yet?
