My 85-degree October Saturday: ✅ 3 hours at Lincoln Park ✅ Beat Street Harvest Festival ✅ Listen to Brewers demolish Cubs while putting up Halloween decorations ✅ Sink my feet into Lake Michigan one last time at South Shore Park Perfect day.

8-1 BREWERS

I ranked my top 50 rap albums, and wrote a bit about that Pitchfork list and all the rap I used to dutifully consume but am happy to probably never listen to again floweragain.substack.com/p/my-50-favo...

AND there's a Jay Som album coming soon? Hell yeah.

Wrote about the best collabo since OutKast

Metric could headline a music festival where all the other artists comprise a Wordle-like list of attempts to spell Metric.

A Downton Abbey Halloween movie that’s just Hill House but with Downton Abbey

I listened to this album for the first time in 20 years this summer and instantly fell back in love with it, then spent months biking around, listening to it, singing along, looking like an idiot, having a blast. One of the greatest albums ever tbh t.co/01ZXFEViYY

Midwesterners will really see this forecast and complain that it isn’t cold enough yet

Just saw this album is 20 years old today. A big one for me from the Swedish scene that maybe isn't that well known (although she and Jens Lekman went on to do an album together several years ago). pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Very here for Zonk Rolan's pivot to rock www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJjM...

It was frankly rude of Mike Mills to announce this just two days before Bill Berry starts his tour with Uncle Kracker and G. Love and Special Sauce bassist Jim Prescott

Do you want to screen Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile in your town or city, unlike a cowardly major movie chain? Email us at [email protected]. We'll allow you to screen it for free. Yes, again, this is real.

the phone recording at the 18 second mark sent me

sorry but this looks like a DC movie with Jared Leto in it to me

Those Criterion Closet videos, but it's just A-list celebrities rummaging through my cardboard box of like 27 DVDs, many of them bought at rummage sales and Black Friday sales, that I never watch anymore

Hey, I wrote about Geese and my favorite album of the year. uproxx.com/indie/geese-...

Since 2017 the #Brewers have played a total of 4 games (2 each in 17 and 22) after being eliminated from contention. In that same span they will have played 55 (56 if you use the @jrradcliffe.bsky.social accounting) after clinching a playoff spot. 18: 5 19: 4 20: 0 21: 14 23: 8 24: 10 25: 13*

What’s happening: Napoleon is master of Europe. Go deeper: Only the British Fleet stands before him.

So HBO is debuting an It TV series the day after most people celebrate Halloween, and then Netflix is releasing a del Toro Frankenstein movie on Nov. 7. How did streaming services get Halloween so wrong this year?

I wrote about / reported on Cactus Club changing city policy for the better. Again.

Brewers attendance rallied hard in the second half of the season. Average attendance in 12th across MLB with a week to go. (peers down at No. 19)

Some news~ as the kids say~ I got the RTO ultimatum and I'm leaving Pitchfork. Read more on Instagram. There are two full-time women remaining at the publication! That FEELS BAD! www.instagram.com/p/DO6L-fIDYve/

i try to stay up on things but i’ve had it, i’m throwing in the towel…..WHO IS JVKE????

I have no idea if this song has had any saturation outside of Milwaukee at all but it’s been pretty summer-defining here www.instagram.com/stories/bayv...

Would you believe I wrote about Nine Inch Nails? Well, I did. I really did. pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Happy 10 year anniversary to the hotdog with corned beef hash and an over-easy egg I got one year at the Bay View Bash. It was so good.

Still trying to wrap my head around how a brewery with such a cheap logo can afford to open in such a high-end location (the old City Lights spot)

What a great inning. Shame Josh Maurer called it.

You’re right so here’s that deadline.com/2025/09/fcc-...

Please enjoy my annual deranged rant about this year's Coachella poster.

FM 102.1 is playing nothing but early '90s new jack swing, dance and rap hits today to honor its roots as "Milwaukee's Party Station Hot 102.1" The playlist delivers www.fm1021milwaukee.com/player/?play...

Regionalism in rock! Something that feels very missing lately, but is soooooo powerful when done right.

FM 102.1 is having some fun with its programming in its final weeks

She's almost a spitting image of my cat. I highly recommend somebody adopt this cat.

that wsj story now feels like a culmination of anti-trans panic that should prompt a reckoning in the mainstream media. was totally bunk, false, peddled. it’s the kind of thing that has led to reconciliation before, and it should now. news editors should be looking at themselves in the mirror

Ted Allen: Three rounds. Mandatory basket ingredients. If your dish doesn’t cut it, you will be chopped. Me, mouthing along with contestant: Not today

I cannot think of a fanbase less equipped to do this in the event of an emergency
