In case you didn't know. This album is one of the greatest of all time. Life Without Buildings only made one studio album (and there's a bootleg live album) but they knocked it out of the park - then quit performing. Though Sue Tompkins guests on the latest Sleaford Mods album.

The bar is "don't leave me alone with a home intruder" fellas.

this is not news unless you didn't already know but skinny puppy is so great you guys what an incredible band not really like any other band. listen to too dark park

Posh Spice was my favorite. My first gf was actually a huge Posh Spice fan growing up, she bought me the first two Spice Girls albums while we were dating (and then the complete Girls Aloud studio discography). I let her spoil me, I'm not too proud to admit it.

Oh man I had to keep quiet about my love of The Spice Girls growing up. That would have been the end of me.

This was a frustrating guy to watch pitch I'll tell you that much.

She had like... a Drew Barrymore type career ahead of her if she had lived. I'm convinced of this.

I am reading Susan Sontag in the bathtub drinking iced coffee, as if I am trying to win a prize for the most lesbian thing I could be doing rn.

This is a tour through jazz. Here he's doing a Duke song with The Modern Jazz Quartet. A few tracks ago it was a duet with John Coltrane. Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Max Roach, Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Stitt and Horace Silver all lie ahead. We even get a "Night In Tunisia" (my fave jazz standard)

Grapenuts. Absolutely Grapenuts.

You cannot comprehend how many of us were Kitty Pryde fans before our eggs cracked.

Its June post something Pride Coded 🌈

Alright. Ending my extended weekened with a Sonny Rollins Best Of released a few days ago. Not sure if it was pre-planned or hastily thrown together, but sounds like a fun time: music.apple.com/us/album/bes...

I watched the first two episodes of "Euphoria" and was like "this show gives me the creeps, but I really like this one character." So then I looked into the future of the show and read about how she was basically written out of Season 2. I was like, "yeah, I think I'm out."

When my mom realized that I had my first crush in 6th grade she said "I thought you were gay." I was like, "no, I absolutely love girls. I love them a lot in fact. Like I'm the biggest fan of the idea of girls."

This is, gotta be honest, how a lot of gay camp gets made.

Okay, sometimes Pitchfork Selects comes up with some good finds. I love it when you hear the latest new band that borrows those good old Velvets chords and thinks it's done something new. We should get one of these every half-decade or so. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdx0...

This is an extremely important piece of queer cinema

Zach Snyder's Escape From New York has united my TL like nothing before it. That was like the one thing you could announce that BlueSky would be like "nope, no, we are not "doing this." This or like a "Master and Commander" remake healmed by, like, Dean Cain.

I can't wait to figure out in what very specific ways he will get the source material completely and utterly wrong.

This automated post reads like the beginning of a terrifying short story

This was the weirdest episode of MST3K, conceptually

Honestly this sounds a bit like the closing number for "Shock Treatment?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF2l...

I was imagining this as sorta a passing the torch moment. I stand corrected. Randy Newman is still turning the crank in his film song machine (I assume this is how it works with him)

Against Me!'s commercial breakthrough album being called "New Wave" was initially seen as a snarky commentary on the punk bank being on a major label ("new wave" was often considered "commercialized" punk). It was also, sneakily, an embrace of a more feminine-coded genre.

I was not expecting her to take Randy Newman's job.

GREAT band.

commercial flights can be a good deal if you actually want to go to whatever the plane’s destination is, but if all you’re looking for is a place to sit it’s a total ripoff. most places offer benches for free

This is the secret behind the success of The Grateful Dead.

Okay it wasn't just me.

Seeing James Iha and D'arcy for the first time was very gender for me, I won't lie.

Seriously though. James Iha's "Believe." As good as nearly anything on "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness." www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-FI...

The thing about the "FIx Your Hearts Or Die" scene is that it's a meta moment where David Lynch is essentially talking about his own reputation! It's a scene that makes more sense now post-#MeToo.

I find it moving that Lynch's legacy in the queer community is now forever tied to the phrase "fix your hearts or die". It has become a rallying cry. It is bigger than him. It is bigger than Twin Peaks. It is beautiful.

Obviously Jandek.

I love this Hold Steady song

Early into Pride and we're already getting into stereotypes. No, not all trans women are cool. No, despite the fact that an extremely high percentage of trans women are cool, there are indeed some uncool trans people and we absolutely will call them out!

Eight months on estrogen and my chest is like

Get measured in yoctometers, obviously.

I mean to be fair to Spielberg, at least when you buy "Rosebud" you get a sled in the deal. Who knows where that money is going to go with an Orson Welles project.

My recent discovery that people have continued to make shortish Lucas art style point and click games the can be paused, don't take hours of your life and have hints that can be looked up has been brilliant for exactly this reason. If interested look into @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social

i've always supported trans rights, don't get me wrong but it was realising that the 'reasonable concerns' were mostly in bad faith, that they won't ever stop, & connecting it to the fascist resurgence generally, that got to me "ok, i need to be loud about this"

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves

The future was so bright...

James Iha's "Believe." An amazing song.

I bought the Smashing Pumpkins "1979" CD single with my own money because I had to have it and couldn't afford the full album.

Someone important probably mentioned this as a joke during a meeting and by the time things cleared up the production had already begun and they decided, "eh, let's give it a shot."
