First song on the new Geese album sounds familiar

Achtung Baby is a classic though, I cannot lie about this. It’s like proto-OK Computer in some ways.

Guess how I used to pronounce “Plotinus” Still don’t know how to pronounce “Enneads”

crushed - no scope 90s VH1-ready adult alternative trip hop Recommended

Bluesky is where I post when I listen to music that is not cool, like U2 and adult alternative

After having been soured in them for years, I have found myself lately enjoying 90s U2. And I finally listened to Pop, which I have found is actually good.

Thinking about this shirt.

Lloyd Cole!

Five of the first six CDs I ever owned, all from June/July 1985. (I still have the sixth—Ocean Rain—but it’s in storage.)

Damn, Babylon 5 did it first

Only a few dozen people heard Dylan go electric, but those few dozen people all started bands

I recommend this, and not just because I’m on it

Even elephants wear flannel

Avant Adult Alternative

Saw a white dude in his 40s wearing a Clipse shirt outside Trader Joe’s on Sunday

Seeing Lloyd Cole solo at the Largo in LA last week was sorta my own personal Oasis

I think this one has potential

This is decent so far

I guess if I’m to be a Tom Waits CD completist I need to get the Night on Earth and One From the Heart soundtracks

I’ve completed my collection

1. Kid A 2. OK Computer 3. Amnesiac 4. In Rainbows 5. Hail to the Thief 6. A Moon Shaped Pool 7. The King of Limbs 8. The Bends 9. Pablo Honey

Suddenly seeing Tom Waits references everywhere

I’m in the middle of a big Tom Waits phase, and if “Cemetery Polka” from Rain Dogs can somehow grow on me, maybe the over-the-top carnival stuff on Franks Wild Years will as well.

I have a new idea for the internet. I call it Web 2.0.

I want to thank Flow State for interviewing Quintelium. A new @quintelium.bsky.social album will be announced very soon! www.flowstate.fm/p/quintelium...

Reporting back to say that Andor has gotten good (finished episode 3 last night)

I’m trying to watching Andor, and like the first season I’m sure it takes a couple episodes to get really good, but two things: 1. It’s hard for me to take Serious Star Wars seriously 2. Anything is going to seem a bit weak after having just finished Twin Peaks for the second time ever

Bought some CDs today

Trip hop is back

Finally getting into early Tom Waits and I’m loving it in a way I didn’t expect

rainy sunday community musicking at mama tried in brooklyn, kicking off my own season of crosstown hauls. today, bass/drums dreaminess by animal, surrender!, & the 75 dollar bill little big band in layered/interlocking microtonal spring bloom, an event for city council rep alexa avilés.

How about more in this direction?

Might mess around and make a techno album

I’ve joked about Freedy Johnston being adult alternative but honestly this is just a great singer-songwriter album.

I’ve become a trainspotter, but for elephants. I don’t know what’s come over me.

I wish that they’d swoop down in a country lane late at night while I’m driving 🐘

NEW SAULT ALERT! saultglobal.bandcamp.com/album/10-2

Hey guys not to brag (is this even bragging?) but when I lived in SF I was friends with someone who knew this guy. She called him “Jef Cantu.”

Current compact disc rotation

One thing I have learned this rewatch of Twin Peaks: both of Zooey Deschanel’s parents worked prominently on the show. Everyone already knows this I’m sure.

Got some CDs

It’s Lloyd Cole season

Everyone, recommend me some 90s albums on the Teen Beat label. I’m listening to Versus right now.

Only just found out about this today: Moon Waves was mentioned in Beats Per Minute’s Honorable Mentions 2023 beatsperminute.com/bpms-honorab...

I’m not so sure about the aesthetic of this Brian Eno book.

Bieber is Lloyd-posting

I have found something I want
