Spent an hour looking for my ELO farewell tour t-shirt before giving up. (a short story)

RIP Todd Snider. One of the greats, an unheralded songwriters' songwriter and a genuine character. Loved and proselytized for almost as long as I've been a music critic. A guy not only influenced by Prine/Kristofferson/Jerry Jeff but he seemed to come out of the same world.

This was just posted on Todd Snider's Twitter account. Asking everyone who loves his music to send him good vibes right now. Really hoping he pulls through.

Happy 80th birthday Neil Young. Ten years ago I was in LA and I saw him eating dinner with Daryl Hannah. This was his car parked outside the restaurant. Peeked inside and yes there was a huge Pono player.

For @the-ringer.bsky.social, I wrote a big thing about Robbie Robertson's new memoir, which focuses on his friendship with Martin Scorsese in the late 70s, a topic I've long been obsessed with. Also went deeper on their overall collaboration in Hollywood and beyond. www.theringer.com/2025/11/12/p...

Great piece but it needed more CARNY.

Wrote about doing the couch tour with Radiohead's current run of European dates, and this weird era they're in of creative inactivity, TikTok popularity, political controversy, and live excellence. uproxx.com/indie/radioh...

Big into this song lately. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IX4...

Wow the new Vince Gilligan is the first TV show I've been excited about for a while.

Reprising my morbid role as the official Grateful Dead Death Correspondent of NES!

Current favorite song of all time

Dick Cheney was a mid-brow pseud, he stunk.

This is so weird/funny. You're a Super Bowl-winning QB who's still in the league!

Really sad about this news. Todd has dealt with so much already, this just seems stupidly cruel. Sending best wishes to an American treasure. Also: If you assault Todd Snider, that's a "go straight to hell" ticket right there.

one of my absolute fave Donna / Jerry moments — their 1976 cover of the Stones' "Moonlight Mile" doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/1636774...

A good way to weed out the jerks in the Deadhead world is asking what they think of Donna Jean. I absolutely love her. An integral part of the all-time best Dead era. RIP. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

When rich people from LA win at the last minute.

Don't mute triumphant sports swears!

Haven't cheered this hard for Canada since Gord Downie's last show.

Took a long drive while looking at fall colors and listening to this box set. Delightful!

I don't agree with this at all but it's a great piece of writing/criticism. defector.com/one-battle-a...

Very weird day. My main memory is the news leaking early and then going on Twitter and seeing people joke about us all losing our jobs 10 minutes before the conference call officially telling us we were all losing our jobs.

Toronto hasn’t done that well in LA since Rush played two sold out nights at The Forum on the MOVING PICTURES tour.

He said this because someone talked about The Cure’s DISINTEGRATION, a platinum album with several popular singles.

Honestly surprised that putting "poptimists" in this context didn't cause a week-long firestorm on this app lol

Toronto hasn't done this well in Los Angeles since Neil's hearse was randomly spotted by Stephen Stills and Buffalo Springfield was born.

Cheering for the Blue Jays because I’m spiritually Canadian (ie I’m an American who owns all the Tragically Hip albums)
