My Mom taught Toby Dog to 'shake hands' in order to get his obligatory treat before bed lol (it's his favorite time of the day)

Batman trained with ninjas, has unlimited finances for tech and state of the art armor. Plus elevated by modern folklore and urban legend. What does he do? Let's super villains run amok and only beats on people who look like this:

Logging on

By trading the documentary format of the original for tech-noir, the reboot of #FACESofDEATH recontextualizes society's depraved obsession with death and voyeurism. Check out my full (spoiler free) review over at @beardedgmusic.bsky.social beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/04/09/f...

So yeah, #FacesOfDeath (2026) is basically what the last 3 #Scream movies wanted to be but failed at. Check out my spoiler free review at @beardedgmusic.bsky.social now! beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/04/09/f...

Someone called me a 'passive aggressive p*ick' today and if I'm being completely honest, I was kinda flattered.

Wait, so people are shocked that Sublime is MAGA? You know the band that made jokes about rape and homophobia along with a hit song about having sex with... *checks notes* A CHILD? Please, color me shocked. For the past 30 years I've told you all Sublime sucked. I'm glad you're finally catching on

When life is tough and civil unrest is the new pop culture, Hardcore is the inevitable. @almightydanish.bsky.social catches up with Russ Rankin of Good Riddance to discuss their latest record and beyond. beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/04/07/g...

The same people who cried their eyes out for days over a podcast host and would fight you tooth and nail defending his honor are currently staying *very* quiet on the eve of nuclear war. Worse yet are the ones cheering it on. Hi, people are cockroach larvae. Byeeeee

LOL the movie MILE END KICKS sure makes being an indie music critic look whimsical, romantic, empowering, and exhilarating. In reality, it's staring at your laptop at 2am in your boxers, racking your brain trying to think of a different way to say "this sounds like The Strokes but not really".

Its 2004. You're flat ironing your hair. You're listening to a Pop Punk song titled something like "A Penny Saved Is A Penny Earned (My Lawyer Said To Wear A Tie At The Hearing)" and your fav band sent you an email inviting you on their tour bus after their set at Warped Girl, you're in trouble.

Meanwhile at the White House...

Jai Guru Deva ommmmmm

The photos from Artemis II give me goosebumps. It really puts in perspective how existing is such a miracle. (Well, in the grand scheme of things anyway. Actually living on this planet is excruciating, but you get the idea)

Over at @beardedgmusic.bsky.social I check out the new self-titled record from Sunn O))) on @subpop.bsky.social. Give it a read! beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/04/02/s...

The latest record from Sunn O))) (on @subpop.bsky.social) proves how beauty still exists in the most unexpected, crushing places. A mystical experience that demands you stand still. @aarxn82.bsky.social reviews. beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/04/02/s...

Wow, the Old Boy looked strong and healthy last night during his address. I'm feeling good about the future of America...

The kids in this theater for Mario Galaxy are UNHINGED. During the Sonic The Hedgehog 4 teaser this 7 or 8 year old kid screams "SONIC!!! LET'S F---ING GOOOO" followed by a lady (assuming his mother) screaming "KYLER!!!" I'm not gonna make it out of here alive, am I?

Happy Daredevil Day for those who celebrate. For those who don't, leave alone between 8pm and 10pm Central time

Sundays are for sleeping

Checked out the new surprise album from NEUROSIS? Despite firing their problematic singer/guitarist, I never dreamed we'd ever hear from them again. But not only are they back, but they are BACK! check out my review at @beardedgmusic.bsky.social now! beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/03/25/n...

Toby Dog takes an epic nap.

#Neurosis may have built the cathedral where most post-metal bands now worship, but with AN UNDYING LOVE FOR A BURNING WORLD just proved they still hold the keys to the noise-rock kingdom. @aarxn82.bsky.social reviews beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/03/25/n...

I think I'll have a Mexican Coke with my record tonight. What a nice pairing.

I'm always stoked to see a new video from @shadowtodd.bsky.social but man, his latest one is about Macklemore. I realllllllly don't wanna subject myself to an hour of Macklemore. I'll watch it because I love you, Todd. Ugh Macklemore

March was STACKED with stellar music! In this edition of THE SHOWCASE, (at @beardedgmusic.bsky.social ), I'm talking about new releases from #Exodus, #PoisonTheWell, #CarpenterBrut, #Harrowed, #Necrosexual, #CootieCatcher and MORE! beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/03/23/t...

Saturdays are for guitar.

So #ChuckNorris died. You know, the racist MAGA bigot who was also against the civil rights movement? But do you remember when he was in an unhinged Halloween rip off? Oooh boy, I do. I wrote about it here. beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2025/10/29/w...

Most people know Imaad Wasif as a touring member of The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but with his latest solo record SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS, Wasif explores emotional divinity by facing heartache head-on. Check out my full review at @beardedgmusic.bsky.social beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/03/17/i...

For his latest solo album, SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS, Imaad Wasif encourages self-reflection through cosmic awareness with a gothic folk album born of destruction but elevated by hope. @aarxn82.bsky.social reviews beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2026/03/17/i...

Happy Birthday to my dude @rmac53b.bsky.social! Not only a fantastic writer at BGM, but a top tier friend!

The absolute stranglehold protein has on people. I just saw an ad flexing on how much protein these new Hot Pockets have. HOT. POCKETS.

This is Toby Dog's pre-zoomie attack mode. When he goes into this stance, its about to be on...

Happy Birthday Mike Muir of SuicidalTendencies!! This is a pic in the press area at Riot Fest a little while back. Were we talking about wild stories from the early days of hardcore? Government overreach? No. He was telling me how smart his son is and how should devote more time to his homework lol

Today is the only day of the year when the Chicago River is its natural color!

I can't believe Timothee Chalamet dissed Opera browser and Spandau Ballet like that..

I've been growing my hair out and when I slick it back, my imagination tells me it's like a Bradley Cooper bro-flow. In reality, its more like Viggo Mortensen as Lucifer in The Prophecy haha

Bryan Adams was born in November of 1959, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say his song "Summer of '69" is *probably* a mild exaggeration.

I feel like the William Orbit remix of Blur's "Own Your Own" (from The Beach OST) was the proper bridge from Blur to Gorillaz. youtu.be/wrnO6qdKJlg?...

The butter knife hanging out on the edge of the sink, waiting for me to decide whether I want another peanut butter and jelly sandwich or not

Technically, Paul Simon's "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" only lists five specific methods for leaving one's lover. Maybe the other 45 ways are nefarious or at the very least, not fit for proper table conversation?

Happy International Women's Day! I think women are really cool and nice.

🎵He was a guy, who dissed opera and ballet What else more can I say 🎵 -Avril Lavigne singing about Timothee Chalamet, probably

So.... how's everyone doing?
