Happy heavenly birthday, Mr. Brown. You set the truest example for all of us.

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.

I Think Her Party Should Be Making Statements In Her Defense And The Greater Somali Community

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

Someone woke up this morning and chose violence.

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.

Jacques Tati's "Freddy Got Fingered"

If you’re lonely and are like why don’t girls talk to me, it might be because you haven’t watched Shin Godzilla

Do NFL rules actually require you to have an offense? Asking for the Birds.

it must be sick as hell to be the girl from ipanema. even something as simple as an afternoon stroll sounds like it goes so hard

In the playlist it goes immediately. Mehldau is one player I can always count on.

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.

I hear Benedict thought Mother of Tears was "OK, except for some dodgy CG" which is why he didn't last long in the job

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.

🐐📡 Sun Ra and his Astro Infinity Arkestra - Holiday for Soul Dance (recorded early 60s / released 1970) #nowspinning #jazzsky #vinyl

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. #jazzsky #thisshitrocks #listennow tidal.com/browse/track...

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

I can't express just how hard this film goes.

This is absolutely correct. I, for one will do anything for my wife if she's wearing thigh-high socks. Including buying thigh-high socks.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

These are incredible. Guess I know what I'm getting my brother for Christmas.

What fictional creature/villain traumatized you as a kid?

Reach out and text faith.

I rely on my Nazareth-endorsed Hair-Of-The-Dog-ometer to let me know exactly when I'm messing with a son of a bitch.

Joke's on you: Philadelphia doesn't do either one! ROFL!

oh shit forgot i had this flic from backstage at msg this summer. pretty much the only politician i wouldn’t be embarrassed to know. “we’ll see if he can run the city tho” yeah yeah same with any mayor that’s the gig. having a genuinely good dude try is a big step up from these previous fucks.

Noam Chomsky in the emails lord have mercy lmao

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.

DKM never go wrong. Even now that they're bigger, they still go hard.

Holy shit finally an Op-Ed that Gets It

This is what I told my kids the day they were born. It's the best introduction I could think of.

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.

Simple solution to this James Bond problem Opening scene: Bond's dismembered limbs, sent flying off the island at the end of the last movie, float into a sea of irradiated kelp The kelp takes the form of a human "B͎O͎N͎D͎," it says. "....J͎A͎M͎E͎S͎..... B͎O͎N͎D͎....." Title card: "SWAMPTOPUSSY"

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.

This is the most #Philly 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 tidal.com/browse/track...

"gentrifiers are anyone who moved in after me" remains the only definition of "gentrifiers" i've ever seen

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.

I think I'm gonna cry about the Gremlins 3 announcement.

Undocumented presence in the United States is NOT a crime. It’s a civil offense. Correct this whenever you hear it.

Mine would be "Hey, it's Christopher Lee from Star Wars!"

An eternal conflict between me and my wife: I care what you do rather than what you say. She cares *only* about what you say. Very difficult to resolve.

Hear hear. People don't think enough about how much their lifestyle is predicated on the fact that other people can't have what they have.

I'm begging someone to tell me: since we can't organize our "collections" in any way, what's the reason for us to even be able to add stuff to our libraries on streaming services?

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???
