the recently updated wheelchair on Michigan license plates makes them look like they're going fast.

i love when i put on a new record and then immediately win my next game of computer solitaire. thank you Maybe I'll Catch Fire. 🃏🔥

whenever everyone starts talking about D4 (which is at least once a year) i wonder if there was a third song of theirs i liked, or just the 2 i can remember. but i really don't want to revisit them, or text my ex who MIGHT remember. it's a conundrum.🤷‍♂️

i've only gone to 3 shows in the last year, 6 in the last 4 years, but in 13 days i'm going to attempt 3 in 3 days. i feel that if i manage to pull it off it'll be a major breakthrough and MAYBE i'll actually start hanging out with people again. #iguessthisisgrowingup

YOOOO!!! i have been CRACKING myself up the last 5 or 6 minutes. i'm hilarious. 😂

3.5 years ago a seller listed a test press of an okay No Idea LP for $40. noticed this morning that the price has come down to $20, so i made an offer for $18. talk about a slowburn...WILL THEY ACCEPT?!?!

i swear every time i'm listening to Here In The Pitch by Jessica Pratt i'm waiting in some long line in public, and it's so perfect in that situation.

the "You Keep Me Hanging On" cover by Index gets me every fucking time. so laid back. it's exactly like smoking opium.

30 years later and "What I Learned" by Slapstick still goes hard as fuck.

me talking to Alice (the dog i'm sitting for)... "how do you feel about ska?"

the Big Ed / Norma / Otis Redding scene has me crying again. when her hand comes into the frame and touches his shoulder 😭😭😭

i REALLY should've pitched that biopic of the Ramones (played by Ken Marino / Michael Showalter / Michael Ian Black / Thomas Lennon) in the studio recording Brain Drain when i originally had the idea 23 years ago. everyone's too old now.

shout-out to The Donnas "Early Singles 1995-1999" LP. every time i play you i fall in love. 🥰

The Wire s4 theme is by far the best.

10 days until my bday and i just pulled the trigger on a certified bonzer. probably gonna take a record break for a bit and just go to town on my collection. music is so fucking amazing.

can they just take Rat Paws off the Moondog gig and Golomb off the Third Man gig and have them play Outer Limits at 5 PM? i'd pay $100 to see that.

shout-out to the Holly Golightly 'Singles Round-Up' 2xLP for making my fucking day. i sadly don't listen to this collection enough. every time that i do i fall in love.

@endlessshrimpp.bsky.social you're BOLD BABY!! coolgigalerts.blogspot.com/2026/01/janu...

COOL GIG ALERT

definitely wasn't expecting the Tales From The Crypt series finale to be an animated version of The Three Little Pigs.

the first RANCID album still blows my mind almost 33 years later. the a-side alone is just fucking STOOPID!! 🫠 #oioioi

shout-out to 'Internal Affairs' by Pharoahe Monch for treating me so kind while i packed up a zillion CD's/LP's this morning.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

i pulled the trigger on an "expensive" record from a seller with zero feedback. pray for me.

when i was 20 years old, we played 7 shows with The Tim Version over the course of 9 days, and sometimes i wonder if that was the best time of my life. so much happened during those 7 days. fights, running from cops, strip clubs, Russ' pants catching on fire, hard drugs, soft drugs, good times!

is VLV down rn?

me peaking out the blinds to check the weather: oooh you might be gnarly, bitch!

i have a question for Mathieu Amalric about a film he directed, does anyone have his AIM screen name?

2026 COOL GIGS

one of the best dollar bin records of all time. this, Tubular Bells & The Roches are my top 3 for sure.

2026 rule: i can only buy 1 "limited" flavor of pop tarts all year. the rest of the time i have to stick to my 4 standards. i can buy up to 4 limited oreo flavors though. they have better returns.

Avon saying the "you just do 2 days..." thing gets so annoying. quit trying to make 'fetch' work.

i cannot wait to eat a muffaletta tomorrow 🤗

IT'S RAINING DROPS OF BLOOD!!!!!!!!!! (3513 views)

really need the WINGS to get that W tonight. 😬

COOL GIG ALERT

Dragula popped in my head and i got pumped

today's the 6th year anniversary of the time i went to a show with my saxophone playing girlfriend, and my 2 saxophone playing exes bands were both playing, and when i came back from the bathroom all 3 of them were talking to each other. 🎷😱

is there a RHCP cover band called THE FUNKY UNCS yet?

Yorg is gonna remake Airheads with girls moms emo thing.

the 1987 repress of Scooter by The Mice is far superior than the 1986 original because it closes the b-side with More Than I Can Talk About into Carolina. unreal combo.

that Ed & Norma / Otis Redding scene from The Return makes me weep every time 😭

cold gig alert

OMG I'M POSTING ON VLV!!!

😭

finally listening to the final Michael Hurley album on my morning walk and i swear i'm not repeatedly crying.

is VLV down again?

"That's right, I've got a floor So what? So what? So what?" are still pretty much the greatest lyrics ever written.

just put in an offer for my #1 top 7" want for the last 29 years. i know at this point i should just pull the trigger and not fuck around trying to shave off $15, but I LOVE the make an offer option.

sooooo many DEAL DEER commercials during Wings games. i love it!!
