people say they aren't emotional but Steely Dan has at least six or seven songs that work like this [the slickest music you've ever heard plays] 🎵 everything that's happening right now is destroying me and I don't know what to do about it 🎵 [sax solo by a guy who played with Miles Davis]

Fix this problem by watching the original Heartbreak Kid. A masterpiece in the "guy's fucking suck" pantheon.

This needs to be shouted from the mountaintops. There was no greater show on TV than SCTV. Ever.

A reminder that she was in her early 20s when she completely upturned the world of sketch comedy, creating literally dozens of characters and inhabiting dozens more celebrities with her look and voice.

Catherine O’Hara SCTV thread youtu.be/990OaFr8EYw?...

Catherine O'Hara is as much of a "good in absolutely everything, no matter how good the thing itself was" actor as Philip Seymour Hoffman.

...so can Scorsese release that SCTV documentary/special now while some members of the cast are still with us? Please?

I'm just a rando, but I make Album of the Years lists too! Click here for peak art-pop, ecstatic US black metal with a penchant for SONGS, an Emo Revival revival, full value indie hype, ornate bro country, obfuscated R&B, lots of Mary Halvorson, a nine-album Boldy James sprint and, obvs, Propagandhi

Hey, so here's a fun thing that I'm kind of pumped about: My band, Pleasure Boys, are releasing our first EP today (the day before my birthday!). Please go check it out...give it a courtesy purchase. Or not. But definitely listen to it. pleasureboystheband.bandcamp.com/album/the-fi...

Exciting news! Next Friday, my band, Pleasure Boys will be releasing our VERY FIRST EP!!! The four-song EP, titled The First Release, includes four tracks - two of which have already become international hits* (and you can stream them now to find out why). This is the cover. * Whatever, shut up

Where I talk about Neil Young's sadboy era, Joni Mitchell's beret era, Brian Eno's ambient era and the peak of George Clinton's powers.

Artists in stride, music in flux. 50 years on, these are my favorite albums of 1975.

Seeing a lot of Drake Blue Jays post and I just need to say that the Blue Jays belong to Geddy Lee. Not Drake.

God has offered me a marketing strategy that I really couldn't have predicted. Should I take it?

Up to six followers now! I'm crushing it! No better time than to share some new music from my band, Pleasure Boys. This one's about getting a vasectomy. I think it kind of shreds. open.spotify.com/album/0jubDN...

For Tomas. RIP

Alright, now that I have four followers (three SNL nerds and one hockey dude), please check out my band. We finally have a song streaming! More to come!
