the city of Katy, TX proper has only 25,000 people, but the population of "Greater Katy" - effectively the jurisdiction of the Katy Independent School District - houses roughly 450,000 people, which would make it the 7th largest city in Texas. Greater Katy is about 181 square miles

Following in the footsteps of fellow 90s Vancouver band Econoline Crush, Odds is headlining the local music festival this summer. I'm pretty stoked, though the pedant in me is slightly annoyed that the poster calls them "The Odds" www.sookemusicfestival.ca/schedule

The stereotypical 40-something following a divorce treats themselves to a red sports car; I'm getting a season ticket to the symphony (and likely taking the bus).

I'm on a ferry and not wearing my headphones - and I'm pretty sure that this is the first time I've ever listened to "Feels So Good" by Chuck Mangione in its entirety

My first piece of music writing in who knows how long. If you are so inclined, please vote for Lucinda.

If you are more than just a Friend of P, are you still friends with the Rentals - Amusingly, Rivers Cuomo and Paulina actually had a closer friendship - this relationship tracks: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/f...

This sounds like the Dismemberment Plan fronted by Ben Gibbard - perhaps they were reminiscent of their amusingly named "Death and Dismemberment" tour. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1KT...

@jakevig.bsky.social As a marketer (very minutely) responsible for Kid Rock's rise to fame, I'd disagree here, but we can talk this out in DMs if you're genuinely curious.

I didn't know that Canada Post had offices in the US :)

JR Ritchie is making his Major League debut today for the Atlanta Braves. Apparently, the JR doesn't stand for anything - his full name is Ian Ritchie Jr. (no middle name, I guess?) and his father is a fantasy football guru of sorts

Someone needs to do a themed cruise featuring Samuel T. Herring, Grouper, Squid, Leftover Salmon, Shad, Feargal Sharkey, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Hot Tuna, Eels, Hootie and the Blowfish, and headlined by Phish, who could perform Captain Beefheart's "Trout Mask Replica" in its entirety.

The karaoke lyrics for "Bette Davis Eyes" spell it out as "Betty Davis Eyes" - I am amused by this and think this is the right choice.

This kind of thing never would have happened in the 90s. Then again, a song like "Choosin' Texas" never could have hit #1 on the pop charts. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

I think you are officially super old when a musical artist is influenced by a band that you once thought you were too old for (in this case underscores is influenced by 100 gecs).

This provides a great perspective on why Israel can do what it is doing - impenetrable defense makes war a mere inconvenience. www.972mag.com/iron-dome-in...

I had oddly never noticed the similarities between the beats and production of "Sensitivity" by Ralph Tresvant and "Human" by the Human League before today. Both songs were written and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, so it's not like anybody can sue anybody here.

Angine de Poitrine has tons of hype at the moment - with a killer KEXP performance and a bunch of sold out shows. And they're coming to Victoria, tickets just went on sale, here's hoping they don't cancel (like Sombr did last year) - www.phillipsbackyard.com

Mark Carney’s stance on Iran has been called weak and inconsistent. But in a war that could escalate by the day, ambiguity may be Canada’s smartest move. https://macleans.ca/politics/carneys-hesitation-on-iran-is-smart-strategy/

This is the #2 result when you Google Julia Steiner of @ratboysband.bsky.social -https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-steiner-9a2a40262/ - impressive GPA

I have a massive multi-genre, multi-era playlist of my favourite songs - I turned on Spotify's new mix capability and it is admittedly odd to hear "California Love" transition into "Basement Apt" by Sarah Harmer, but it also kind of worked. The songs have a similar BPM.

@jonpennington.bsky.social Have you heard of the Twisted Teens - it seems like it could be your kind of stuff: music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I never know where to post anymore, or what, but I'm really grateful that the final Megadeth tour with Anthrax and Exodus came through Victoria, BC. Every metalhead on the island was there and it was great to see the community out. Lots of great photos on social media too. We don't get enough shows

For another cool video - this trivia tournament also led me down another rabbit hole - apparently, Andy Warhol directed this music video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8j2...

I have made the final game of a Brit-centric and British-run Music Trivia Tournament. As I "Study," I'm getting sent down all sorts of rabbit holes. Such as discovering that Captain Sensible recorded a version of "Happy Talk" from South Pacific.

Despite winning the NL MVP in 1993, Barry Bonds had only the 2nd highest batting average in the NL that season among Junipero Serra High School alumni.

Jeopardy! whizzes Ray and Ron Lalonde talk twin telepathy, identity swaps and growing up in a trivia-obsessed home

the music at @aandwcanada.bsky.social this morning has been unexpectedly good: elliott smith, charli xcx, be good tanyas covering prince, sombr - i don't expect to hear anything other than 80s soft hits when out in the world

@bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social - thanks to the best album of 1989 tournament, Spotify indicates that my listening age is 56 - which I'm admittedly fine with. In 1989, I wanted to be older so I could go see Depeche Mode, Nirvana, GNR and other bands my parents didn't care for live.

@jonpennington.bsky.social In a random Wikipedia rabbit hole - I discovered this and thought it would be up your alley - Whitney Houston covering The Soft Machine (courtesy of Material/Bill Laswell/Michael Beinhorn) - www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV3K...

@profanity.accountant Have I ever cursed on here?

My grandfather, who had one of the names in question, was actually born without a first name and his parents spoke little English at the time. He was bestowed his own English and official name in school due to its similarity to the Yiddish name his parents called him. forward.com/culture/7836...
