Today's Mountain Goats song in the book doesn't exist - summon Billy Bragg and Wilco

Bringing back No Apologies just to drop this banger youtu.be/otAu5twqDpk?...

The new album from Arlo Parks is the On Air Listening Party tonight! She is one of the most exciting voices in music right now, and this blends trip hop with (suitably) disco for the opener.

Jeff Rosenstock is playing Indeed!!?!

The Mountain Goats book got up to The Coroner's Gambit this week and yesterday's song was "Jaipur" - most entries are a paragraph or two but this one was several pages. I'm revisiting the album for the first time in ages and it's clear what a huge step forward it was.

Artemis, please log out of the database at 11am every day so we can run a purge

Hope he's ok X

President Grampa says that Christmas "will not be cancelled" - vows that it will be "bigger than ever"

Many outlandish plotlines in S5 of 24, including... a traitor in the White House 🤫

Breweries should not announce new beers today; I saw Bad Weather announce a new rye IPA and I'm like April Fools! and they're like "it's real 🥺"

If you have even cursory knowledge of Gorsuch, you know that this is not exactly a masterful gambit. 😅

Discovered Low's cover of "Open Arms" tonight - at first it appears to be Mimi on vocals but eventually reveals itself (I think?) to be Alan singing several octaves above his range, he audibly cracks up at one point, 10/10 play this at my funeral.

Absolutely gorgeous tune by Morrissey, who tragically died on this day in 2010 after falling into a vat of chicken oil

Trying to do a little bit of scrounging around and the closest I can tell is the "Rich-Kid" is basically an Italian hoagie. A conversion table you can use for inflation-adjusted prices is that every 10 cents in 1973 is 75 cents in 2026.

CATASTROPHE FOR HARTLEPOOL! A 7-nil loss deals a huge blow to their dwindling playoff hopes.

New Potbelly street corn sub - unimaginably, grotesquely messy, do not eat in the presence of anyone you respect. 10/10 taste, would order every day if I could.

Convinced that the parking ramp next to my work is a money laundering operation to evidently pay a bunch of guys to run jackhammers the entire day under the pretense of "construction"

Wonder what Rod Rosenstein is up to, maybe out reviewing restaurants on YouTube?

Pope Leo lives rent-free inside this man's head.

Reading an interview with Brayton Mullins' parents and it was a jumpscare to see their picture at the end and realize they're my age.

New idea for a band: Smashing Pumpkins cover band but ONLY the B-sides from the Aeroplane box set.

I screamed

Elder millennial trait is having a soft spot for UConn. When I was growing up, they'd never won, they had Minneapolis' own Khalid El-Amin for their underdog champions in 1999, and they've stayed in the "it's fine if they win" zone ever since.

It's going to feel very weird rooting for UConn today, real "Magneto joins the X-Men" energy.

Revisiting the beginning of Paul Thomas Anderson's brilliant career with his debut film, Hard Eight - or, as PTA prefers to call it, SYDNEY.

It couldn't have been a worse day for Harrogate Town, who not only lost to Notts, but all 3 of their closest relegation rivals all won. Meanwhile, Truro City could be relegated back to the National League South as soon as Friday, per my math.

The Battle of the Hamm's is underway at St. Paul Brewing!

Barrow have EQUALISED! The Bluebirds aren't finished yet!

Altrincham right next to Aldershot in the table, just the way God intended it.

The game is a snoozer but the pork pies are out at Harrogate Town!

Who’s at Harrogate then?

The eyes of the world now turn to Wetherby Road, as relegation-threatened Harrogate Town hosts SLUMPING NOTTS!

A truly remarkable record: this is as good as music gets.

1.) DUIs are a bipartisan issue with Minnesota legislators 2.) FOUR separate offenses in one traffic stop 3.) This guy is running for Auditor?!

William Butler Yeats gazing in the direction of Bethlehem:

When I was a kid, we cat-sit for our neighbors and we COULD NOT FIND THEIR CAT for a solid day - turns out he was hiding inside a recliner down in the basement. He later came out at night and yowled through the whole house.

Myriad homages to alternative rock across this Snail Mail album - this one has the swelling string sections that harken back to Bob Mould's Workbook.

Hooting and hollering that Weezer's upcoming album is "still untitled" - I have a pretty good guess which direction they could go.

Classic night of "this is the biggest bullshit I have seen in my entire life" on the timeline so you check the app and the Timberwolves win 110-108 in overtime. 🫠

Wow! Scunthorpe's late equaliser has massive ramifications. York City now controls its own destiny to win the National League (they play Rochdale on the final day). If both clubs win out until Week 46, York will have a 25+ goal difference advantage, unless The Dale can chip that away.

If Hartlepool drop points to Morecambe today, Carlisle will be assured of a top-7 finish in the National League. The Cumbrians will likely turn their focus to the playoff to try to secure an immediate return to the EFL.

This is a true compilation - gathering Waits covers from over the decades - so if you're like me and saw the Ramones in the tracklisting, it is indeed their cover of "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" and not a new recording, what with all of the Ramones being dead.
