@bttfbway.bsky.social, you should be next. In the words of Goldie Wilson: "Stand tall, boy. Have some respect for yourself. Don't you know, if you let people walk over you now, they'll be walking over you for the rest of your life." George found the courage. You can, too. #bttfbway

Happy New Year's Eve-Eve! New pod is up... join @blindskeleton.bsky.social and I over on blindskeleton.one for one final spiral into #vintage madness for 2025. We promise new, even more spirally-spirals in #newyear2026! #78rpm #victrola #newyear

Who agrees? ✋

Given Kennedy Center president Richard Grenell's recent post, now seems a good time to point out that the true purpose of art is to comfort the disturbed and to disturb the comfortable. It has never been about "being for everyone" and needing to correct that demonstrates how unqualified he is.

The phrasing of how he stuck his name up there makes it seem like it's a memorial for the both of them. Now it's been put out to the Universe... 🤞😬

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

@djrobertdrake.bsky.social HOW am I only just hearing about the musical “Striking 12”?? It’s great! Thank you so much for playing it #thenightbefore. Can always count on @wxpnfm.bsky.social to show me something new every time I listen!

@yuliasilvae.bsky.social and I are hosting a live - yes, live! - special Three Tune Tuesday Christmas Super Extravaganza this afternoon at 4:00pm EST! We will be spinning actual shellac records, and taking callers! Live! Glorious chaos. All at blindskeleton.one/radio #christmas #music #chaos

Spent some time today migrating the Blind Skeleton and Skeleton Brew mail lists to my own host. This was hurried up by being informed that my initial mail list provider was flagged for malware. So, if you're looking for a free #coffee sample, head over to blindskeleton.one/free-coffee and sign up!

Introduce more chaos by taking callers? YES PLEASE. Plus, we’ll be spinning physical, pre-1925 shellac live on the air, too… the potential for meltdown is great! 🤣 Join us, won’t you? Blindskeleton.one #vintage #78rpm #shellac

So, when @blindskeleton.bsky.social and I recorded the blindskeleton.one podcast this evening, I lamented that no Yule songs survive today (that I know of). But this fuckin LEGEND went and dropped this modern-day sex-groove. Jazz Emu, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

@yuliasilvae.bsky.social and I will be doing a LIVE #Christmas Eve show! 4:00pm EST, Christmas Eve. blindskeleton.one/radio. This will be a real "Old Time Christmas" as we play #78rpm songs from the dawn of recorded music. No rap. No Wham. No Mariah. No crap. Just great old #music.

give them all gigantic raises

The gummies have hit, and @blindskeleton.bsky.social are cackling. What would YOU add?

This moment of feed cleansing has been brought to you by our sponsor: cats.

Logan. In his natural habitat. His most effective defense: cuteness.

Omar. Maximum Omar.

Faith. Do not be fooled by the innocent expression.

Julie. Look at her. LOOK. AT HER.

And our coffee is better, as well. We'll put our money on it! We'll send a free (yes, free!) sample of our coffee just for joining our mailing list: blindskeleton.one/free-coffee/ #coffee #starbucks sucks #free

CLASSY!

Well, that didn't take long... I bet they had those brass letters made weeks ago. The vanity is off the charts.

The internet sucks now because everything needs to result in the maximal outcome so instead of seeing the Coldplay couple and going “lol pretty funny” we end up with this, everything is Qanon, everything is the Inquisition, when the fun of it should be “well, never have to think about this again!”

To me, Robert Mitchum always looks like he’s has had ti many martoonis.

All I’m saying is that we don’t want to buy a yacht. We just want to sell you the best damn #coffee and defray our podcast hosting fees. A pox on billionaires! Support small business. Skeletonbrew.coffee Blindskeleton.one @blindskeleton.bsky.social p.s. #Starbucks sucks, I said what I said

With bonus kitten assistance from Faith!

Interesting from an administration that bills itself as #prolife. I beg to differ.

Day 17 - Movie Themed Holiday Cocktail #Advent Calendar I have no idea what a "Jefferson Special" is but they serve it at Christmas in #TheManWhoCameToDinner. It looks like a flip and Madeira is perfect for the holidays so here ya go: www.wineenthusiast.com/recipe/madei... #TCMParty

Really connected with the Acadiana music featured on @worldcafe.bsky.social today. I am not aware of any personal historical or family connection to the Acadians, but it felt like an old friend in my ears and my soul today.

In this day of falsehoods, disinformation, and outright lies, public media and broadcasting is more vital than ever. We can all do what we can. $1 from every bag of Skeleton Brew coffee sold is donated to public broadcasting. It matters. skeletonbrew.coffee #coffee #nokings #publicbroadcasting

Show me how your 2025 went:

Aww, I’ve missed the vintage radio shows! This makes me happy. #oldtimeradio #radioplays #vintage

Big shouts out to @yuliasilvae.bsky.social & @blindskeleton.bsky.social for the incredible coffee drop!! Started the morning of with a cup of the Liberte and I can tell right now, today’s gonna be a good day. Cheers, my friends!!

What do we have to do to declare him unfit to serve??

Caring is an act of resistance in a system that thrives on indifference.

Is anyone in my follows watching "Pluribus?" Because OMG is it a mindfuck for me, in all the best ways. The plot is riveting, but more intriguing to me are the ethical questions the premise raises. It's breaking my brain. I'm afraid to search hashtags, would love to keep discussion small. :)

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

Has King Ossian done something untoward with the #elfontheshelf today? These three aren't saying. They're too busy enjoying a good Skeleton Brew coffee. vist.ly/4iab3

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Enjoying the #xpncountdown afterglow party this morning. I loved the countdown by itself, but taking the ride with the XPN Fam just made it that much better. We laughed, we groaned, we learned--brought together by our collective love of music. You guys are all great, seriously!

My favorite cover of “Suzanne” is a live recording done by Dianne Reeves - it was on my list, I think? I know I debated it (is it truly great, or just a sentimental fave of mine?). If I voted for it - I’m sure I was the only one! #xpncountdown

Really digging this funky cover of “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” - it’s sincere. #xpncountdown
