The "Akshully, Johnny Cash should be considered cool" discourse got me to thinking: does his friend Willie Nelson get *enough* credit for being a great musician? Willie and the Family live should be in the convo of all-time great live albums and is way better than either of the prison records.

Watching one of the old Motown docs. I need to know any of the then-kids who mobbed the Jackson 5 when they got off the plane at PHL. Philly was initial stop of their first concert tour.

Everything they claim they (or their parents) treasured about the old neighborhood (the neighbors, hanging out on the stoop, the Market, their old parish church), they abandoned for free parking and restrictive covenants and then they get mad about the Vietnamese and Mexicans who moved in after them

I think tons of Left NIMBYs think this, at the least. Especially those who don't think about it a lot (to identify their beliefs about housing) but tend in that direction.

Just saw that the premium version of Subsonic (a self-hosted music server) allegedly allows you to share your music to Google+. Now that truly is a premium feature I would pay for.

A partial list of records that I've bought on CD because streaming services don't have them: Van Morrison Tupelo Honey, Naked City Torture Garden, My Bloody Valentine Loveless, Sniff Demmamussabebonk and Ray Charles Genius + Soul = Jazz. Just disrespectful omissions.

The most perfect thing that's ever happened to me is that Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell was playing the first time I kissed a girl. That means I feel nostalgic for being a teenager every time I hear it, which is exactly the point of the whole thing. Absolute perfection.

I listened to this record today and it went so hard that I couldn't work. Drum, Sax, Electric Guitar and the leader on TUBA. Then I found out Theon was in Sons of Kemet and it all made sense.

Need more 4'33" of silence, but you only have one record? That's a problematic Cage gap.

In honor of the Decoration Day rerelease: Thinking about being Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley in late 2002 and your new 23 year old guitarist who got dropped off by his mama is on tour with you for four days and says he’s written a song and that song is Decoration Day. Lmao what do you say.

It's truly a wondrous Top 4 that finds room for BOTH Clint Eastwood beer-drinking orangutan movies. This may be the finest list ever, and I don't even know what one of the movies is.

I'm hoping for two things here: 1. Less casual cruelty and misogyny from Jimmy 2. Inspiration pulled from Kirby's run on the book. Lots of time in The Project and with the Newsboy Legion, please.

Soul track not produced by Gamble and Huff (I think it's the snap in the bass that does it for me). Curtis Harden is a real one; the whole album is bangers

I've talked before about the need to reboot LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE with millennial players and I'm reupping it. Cast average millennials excited to answer trivia and put together the silver monkey while simultaneously griping about their lack of cardio and how much activity it requires.

The city has got win this FOPS lawsuit. An unelected group of residents from a wealthy neighborhood shouldn't be able to use their spare time and cash to block road safety improvements that we know will save lives.

COUNT I Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall. COUNT II The same thing on a different wall, but then a train came out and ran us over???
