The people responding to this prompt with Boston really need to travel more.

The first night in my new apartment and I thought I’d see Geordie Greep since there’s no way he’d make me think about divorce and he came on stage to Ray Price’s “For the Good Times.”

Hot take: the "rock hall" is more fun if it's just "rock" acts. Black Crowes, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, INXS, Joy Division/New Order (moreso for JD), Melissa Etheridge, and Oasis is v. white dude heavy but makes sense as an event, even if I personally vastly prefer the artists I've left off.

While it’s all rancid from the top down I am somewhat glad he’s simply saying this stuff out loud.

Pitchfork doing a "best albums March Madness bracket" in the year 2026 is a bit sad. I thought Grantland exhausted that well of online content 15 years ago.

What movie did you watch over and over as a kid?

Honestly? There’s too many fuckin beers.

The new Kanye is a step up from his last few but still so curiously lacking in inspiration or energy. Hate is bad for the brain.

This was one of the first tapes I owned, and I had convinced myself in the years since that it actually sucked. I revisited it recently and nope, it owns. I can't vouch for much Van Hagar beyond it but they nailed this one.

Just saw the Matthew Shipp/Andre 3000 story passed around by a media outlet as if it just happened, and people commenting under the link as if it were a new story. The internet has fried our brains.

With the origin tweet long since deleted and not referenced I thought all of those tweets about car bombs were about the band Geese lol.

A follow-up to this: I saw someone tell my kid today that Radiohead is "Phish for incels." ☠️ ☠️ ☠️

How did the Fruit Bats go up a venue size in 2026? I assume it's a Tik-Tok thing.

My kid got into UVM and admissions just sent me a “Class of 2030 playlist.” Yes, Phish was there (the studio version of Free), right between Barenaked Ladies and Big Thief.

When I went to college in the 90s I (temporarily) quit buying all comics except for The Maxx and anything else with Keith’s name on it.

Here’s an LP that goes extremely hard that you can still sometimes spot in cheapie bins.

11 year old: "I like Radiohead because they're goth." Me: "They're not goth, they're prog. Like Phish." 11 year old: "I'm gonna barf."

I have tickets to see them play this whole thing in full in a two-set show in a couple of weeks and I'm more stoked than I expected I'd be. The whole album goes hard and hasn't aged a day.

My favorite Depeche Mode album and one of my favorite 80s albums--sexy, moody, cinematic, timelessly pointed ("New Dress"), near flawless.

My personal best picture rankings: 1. OBAO 2. Hamnet 3. Sinners 4. Secret Agent 5. Sentimental Value 6. F1 7. Train Dreams 8. Frankenstein 9. Bugonia Good slate overall! Didn't see Marty.

Somehow the algorithm thinks I want endless content of NBA players hugging and chatting after their games and you know what? I do.

Indie rock dude division: Worse: I think I've listened to Neutral Milk Hotel once since seeing Jeff Mangum a decade ago- such a half-assed performance. Better: Never had much time for Sufjan's records but his live show is arresting and extremely well considered.

It’s not my favorite song of all time but sometimes….it is.

I’m keeping Dreaming My Dreams and Waylon Live for sure but now I need to keep 1-2 and purge the rest. 😔

Watching “There’s Something About Mary” and my kid watched Jonathan Richman for a few minutes and said “is that your generation’s Cameron Winter”? ☠️☠️☠️

For the former question, I don’t know, Adele or Drake or Taylor Swift. For the latter I’d say Guided By Voices.

Getting rid of half my records to downsize creates cruel games of “sell two, keep two.”

People said they wanted more culture pieces on Bsky, right? For COYOTE, I interviewed the @oaklandreviewofbooks.org and @meganwachspress.bsky.social for a behind-the-scenes account of how Megan's 7,000-word feature (!) on coal in Oakland came to be—a phenomenal work of longform journalism.

I haven’t seen the #1 movie listed here, but based on the rest of the top ten, Trans People are objectively correct about what the Greatest Films of All Time are.

I will never be as middle aged white guy as Bill Callahan complaining about autotune in 2026.

Damn, not only did Thom Yorke tell DT's nazi troops to "go f-ck themselves" but he even stole Kid Rock's hat to add insult to injury.

This song should have come with a warning label. youtu.be/4NdaXrqcM-g?...

There truly is zero photography budget in news anymore.

Alfred E. Neumann appears 56,000 times in the Ecch-stein Files

When I developed a serious alcohol problem during the pandemic, my go-to drink was gin and grapefruit juice, and honestly I was just as addicted to the grapefruit juice.

The pain of downsizing: I just listened to both of these and regretfully put them in the “to sell” pile.

It’s not controversial for me to say cantaloupe or really any melon. Perhaps more controversial for me to include watermelon in there.

Godspeed You! Mr. Rosewater

I honestly never liked this song at all until the movie “Aftersun” and now I love it.

What…what year is it?

Fenway Park shows on a Friday and Saturday are locks to be absolute ass, and likely unbearably hot, but at least the tickets aren’t $125 each. Let’s hope this implies a classic New England fall tour is coming (probably not).

It begins today!

A photo that I took today.

I know when a celebrity dies the move is to mention anything but their most famous thing but man, HAROLD AND MAUDE was so formative to me in such a direct sense. my mom took me to see it multiple times in second run cinema and it helped form a lot of my sensibilities.

Post a tree you photographed.

This is a shame to hear. "Life Stories" is an essential comp.

At the Mdou Moctar show. I guess there is a sporting event happening as well?

These are the mass market paperbacks remaining in my house.
