This is the current “what’s the deal with airplane food?” of music discourse.

Lost Tom Petty eight years ago today. Still the heaviest rock star death in recent memory for me.

Amoeba Records' "What's In My Bag?" is the Criterion Closet for music and I've discovered some cool records from watching the videos.

Hey, I wrote a big thing about The Cars, a great American band, in conjunction with a new biography. www.theringer.com/2025/10/01/m...

Apple Music not exactly bringing their A game here, hitting Jonny with the "a little quirky."

Thanks to Steven for covering the book!

Fascinated by this band photo. Who is even in Bush at this point? If you are a middle-aged man in a hat, you could also be in Bush.

The first person who had the idea to back up into a parking space.

CBS constantly promoting a show called SHERIFF COUNTRY feels like self-parody.

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2025)

I'm afraid I have to be the latest person to come on here and say that ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is an awesome flick.

Love Josh’s newsletter, he does it the right way, great vibes and even better recommendations, please subscribe.

Goose should cover “100 Horses” and Geese should cover “Madhuvan,” to unite the waterfowl tribes.

An "oily music industry bastard" caricature come to life.

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

I've been rewatching FREAKS & GEEKS with my son and it has confirmed that Martin Starr as Bill Haverchuck is a Top 5 TV performance of all time.

Somebody compiled a list of Patio Hall Of Fame albums. Humbled and grateful, though the list is incomplete and not wholly accurate. Still, an epic and necessary undertaking. www.albumoftheyear.org/user/laszlo-...

This is awesome.

Starting a band called the Bluesky Poptimists, our bit is that we performatively don’t rock

Writing about a kick-ass album is fun.

Happy birthday to my handsome father Bruce Springsteen

Patio Hall Of Fame Album

I refuse to be raptured before I can see ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER

Heavy into this song lately. youtu.be/1FUyrnXJFJE?...

Cleveland hasn't made me feel this bad since the Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame failed to induct The Replacements.

Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground

Can’t believe Neil Young dropped “Be The Rain” on me again 22 years after seeing him for the first time lol

My view of Bob Dylan at Farm Aid.

This is a very late slot for a 92-year-old man who's smoking weed all day.

This is a bar

Currently listening to an album I wasn't sure I'd ever hear or even actually existed.

Hey, I wrote about the new Wednesday album. Good band! uproxx.com/indie/wednes...

[me trying not to be fired] I pledge allegiance to Charlie Kirk, and the United Charlies of Kirkdom. And to the Charlie, for which is Kirks, one Charlie under Kirk, indiKirkable, with Charlies and Kirks for all.

Super glad comedy podcasters banded together last election to make comedy legal again.

Excited to see my three dads Bob Neil and Willie this weekend
