“Long before alternative music found its way into the mainstream, he was there every week on 120 Minutes, introducing people to bands that would go on to define an era," Matt Pinfield shared about his former colleague Dave Kendall. www.pastemagazine.com/music/mtv/da...

Pedro on Buffy!!! #BuffytheVampireSlayer

We recorded this a few days before the terrible news about Anthony Head's passing. I'm glad we got to watch the episode without having to feel sad every time Giles was onscreen, but disappointed in hindsight that we didn't spend as much time praising him as we could have had we known.

I can’t tell you how much I love Faith @bufferingcast.bsky.social

#NowWatching Alan Rudolph's THE SECRET LIVES OF DENTISTS (2002), starring Campbell Scott and Hope Davis. Boy was this a hard one to find! I'm watching on a borrowed DVD, but it's also available on Tubi. #Filmsky

Noooo, I just started watching and just ordered my green mug

Very sadly, it's been announced today that the @slate.com Culture Gabfest, which set the standard for arts podcasts, will end after this month. I had the honour of being one of the first regular guests to come say goodbye, with a final great conversation. carlwilson.substack.com/p/au-revoir-...

another great episode with @edeggans.bsky.social and congratulations on the promotion www.npr.org/2026/05/21/n...

Can you toss in a $10 gift card to help this terrific teacher (I can vouch for her and how much she cares about her students) get an iPad on sale? Please join me in supporting her.

Wow, I’m off social media for four days, and I missed the whole Lupita as Helen of Troy blowup. Oh, Lordy, what times we live in. I mean, that is definitely a face that could launch 1000 ships. She’s absolutely stunning.

I mean, come on the man still got it youtu.be/ob3nHfBHPkg?...

i’m in town for this www.chicagohumanities.org/events/atten...

“Blood harmony” is the sound of family singing together. It’s one of my favorite things in the world, and it’s all over the joyful immersive musical CANCIONES, loosely inspired by Linda Ronstadt’s mariachi records and playing at a private home in Brooklyn through May 24. Highly recommend

@popville.bsky.social Dan your famous wapo.st/4wqi8qk

Harris x2!!! Very excited for everyone to hear my conversation with @maryharris.bsky.social about MICHAEL next week!

It’s the last day of the Max Fun Drive. If I get 450 new contributions (memberships, upgrades, boosts) to Depresh Mode, I can make a limited series called Your Best Life In Hell. It’s a plan to preserve/improve your mental health in a socio-political world gone bananas. We have 425 so far…

If you can pitch in, you’ll be doing a solid for a lot of people who really benefit from the work John does around mental health. Are you a member who could maybe boost a few dollars monthly? Are you a nonmember who might be able to become one? Five bucks a month?

Give for this extraordinary idea by John. People need this!

I am late to FX’s Alien Earth. So, i am just now diving in to the episodes on House of R. so wonderful to see all the love for @jowrotethis.bsky.social in these episodes. #badbabies #houseofr

It was a blast joining the #BeyondYachtRock gang— @jdryznar.bsky.social @hollywoodsteve.bsky.social Hunter & Dave—in the Fart Dungeon™ for a #RockHall ballot podcast chat. What genre is Billy Idol? Why can’t we agree on Mariah? Why do JD & NO belong together? And why does everybody diss the Crowes?

lemonadamedia.com/podcast/juli... I can’t believe that Julia told that joke, knowing how catholic Catherine O’Hara was. “A good joke is a good joke.” She’s always been a cultural touch point in my life. It’s hard to believe that she’s gone. #catherineohara

The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records showing how the feds respond when agents use deadly force. @chicago.suntimes.com story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
