Last Bandcamp Friday of the year. Support independent music and the people who make it.

You know, I think if I owned the rights to a century's worth of the most acclaimed films ever like The Wizard of Oz and 2001, plus all the most popular characters in cartoon history, plus Superman and Batman, plus tons of other stuff, I could probably make enough money I wouldn't need to sell it.

Anyone got a copy of the 1994 demo by NJ hard-core band SEED? Even if not, read this - it is excellent. Paging @ihavethatonvinyl.com !

Happy 60th birthday to Rubber Soul by the Beatles, released 3rd Dec 1965. Here is my intern deciding which of my copies of the LP I should listen to tonight.

Watch @drivebytruckers.bsky.social and Jason Isbell reunite to play "Hell No, I Ain't Happy" on @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

[ mutes "Spotify" and "wrapped" ]

Watch this, it's fantastic.

It's that time of year again

"For 15 years, he has been at the forefront of an obscure but vital industrywide effort to save old tapes — for which he employs an assortment of handmade tools and Rube Goldberg-worthy machines in a cramped workshop." The ‘Race Against Time’ to Save Music Legends’ Decaying Tapes (gift link):

It's been so long since you read about "A Long December"... I think you should. (Thanks, Niko - as moving as I recalled reading it the first time)

You ever think the guy with the Tiny Desk just wants to get back to work?

A friend sent this to me today… Had to re-share it. Beatle fans will appreciate this...  Happy Thanksgiving!

'Late Night' host Seth Meyers clearly is a big fan of Tom Hanks' Dungeons and Dragons-themed 1982 TV-movie 'Mazes and Monsters.'

You really could just put a tight camera on John Candy with nothing but him and the driver's seat of a car in frame and then watch him almost wordlessly do five of the funniest minutes in the history of movies.

Please ensure your holiday table is set complete and correctly. #TheLastWaltz #Thanksgiving #1976

In 2025 it's still really unclear why the streaming services simply cannot be bothered to gather holiday TV episodes into a simple, easy-to-find playlist. #enshittification

Great article on this week's #mbv show and its celebration of Mani: thequietus.com/quietus-revi...

Happy 84th Birthday Pete Best! November 24th, 2025 The Beatles invited Best to join the band on 12 August 1960, on the eve of the group's first Hamburg season of club dates. Ringo Starr eventually replaced Best on 16 August 1962 when the group's manager, Brian Epstein, fired Best #BeatlesHistory

Never before or since have two men been more “meant to be” than Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman. Which is why Celine Dion’s version of “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now” — indisputably to me a stone cold classic — such a triumph. Sometimes you outrun your own muse.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter!

The Last Waltz is for Thanksgiving as Jesus Christ Superstar is for Easter

Hell yes it's gonna be a LOUD weekend. #TheReplacements #TheBeatles

Today with my editor at Analog Planet (dot com) we preview-review the new restored, renovated, remixed & remarkably ratcheted-up 12LP #Beatles Anthology set. A major release on many levels. #musicsky #music www.analogplanet.com/content/beat...

Someone from Nebraska should make an album called New Jersey

Really underestimated how much of adult life is consumed by both charging devices and worrying about the charge in said devices.

Another day, another creepy song from the '80s reveals its true intentions. Today's entry, The Outfield's "Your Love". #80s #1980s #music #lyrics #behindthemusic

Finished #BlackRabbit on Netflix tonight. Highly recommend. Go in cold: don't read anything about it.

Happy 40th to #Psychocandy. #vinylsky

40 years ago today the world was introduced to a small boy and his best friend. Happy birthday Calvin & Hobbes.

Happy 40th birthday to this beautiful beast. The crescendo of singles leading up was almost unbearably perfect, the album itself totally thrilling. Started my first band the morning after seeing them live (12/8/85, 9:30 Club in DC), which led directly to SLR a few years later. Changed my life!

"Only music is forever And you're a Winchester Mansion of Sound..." -Neko Case (Finally got to listen to "Neon Grey Midnight Green" by #NekoCase today)

"All the Best Cowboys..." is Pete's personal "Who By Numbers": an album for grown adults wrestling with growing older and further away from their youth.

ME: So these guys couldn’t play before? BEATLES: Right. Sgt. Pepper taught them. ME: How long did that take? BEATLES: One day. ME: Who’s in this band? BEATLES: There’s Billy Shears, the singer. ME: Who plays him? BEATLES: Ringo ME: Who else? BEATLES: No idea.

#OneHitHistory The week ending November 17, 1962, producer Joe Meek’s in-house band, The Tornados, earned US #OneHitWonder honors when their space age instrumental “Telstar” entered the US #Billboard #Top40 at #39. It spent 13 weeks on the chart, 3 of ‘em at #1! #Telstar #OneHitWondered
