It's nice that Lemmy has one of the best/most badass statues ever

30 years ago today Campus Point at UCSB was the biggest I've ever seen. I paddled out after my last final of my first quarter in college. Thanks to this guy for posting the only video evidence on youtube 13 years ago.

Yo Gabba GabbaLand! season 2 special guests announced today. There are some fun ones!

I did not buy Kraftwerk's Sennheiser VSM-201 vocoder for $256,000 today

In general, everything is pretty bad, which is why it's very important for dudes like Donny Benét to stick around and continue to bless us with bass and leather

pass it on

This is the mp3 player I used in 1999 💾 "k-jofol"

My 3 1/2 year old walked by as I was looking at these photos and said "who are those bad Star Wars guys?"

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

Please stop me from liquidating my family's savings... An unreal collection of Florian Schneider's (Kraftwerk) stuff

In a studio in the valley in the 90s we would watch public access shows and one was Mr Morrison. It completely melted my mind. In pretty quick order I saw that show and discovered the electric blue suit in a thrift store, which was why there was ever a thing called Digital Unicorn

I was reminded that professional freestyle jet skiing was a thing in the late 80s with figures such as Larry "The Ripper" Rippenkroeger

I saw two identical white Audi Q7s driving toward me and thought "that's weird", and then noticed they were being driven by identical twins and thought "oh sure, ok"

No one remembers who broke the boycott and performed at Sun City in South Africa in the 70s/80s, and there were basically zero consequences, so if any of these artists have managers over 50, they know that...

One of my favorite things in college was walking out of class, hearing music and thinking something like "why is there a toad the wet sprocket cover band playing?" and then it would turn out to be actual toad the wet sprocket

The fact that those nostalgia AI slop videos are 1:05 and the AI music track only 1:00, leaving 5 seconds of the most unsettling, soul crushing background silence... too much, man

Living in an imagination world where I still get to see colors and shapes and textures and lettering styles like this outside every day

I've been looking into a buying a convertible. Pretty sure that is the solution to any problem and not a symptom of something really bad.

I am issuing an (un)official "cool cloud watching day" advisory for much of central & southern California, including the SF Bay Area by this evening. With mid-level instability, deep tropical moisture, a hot airmass, and offshore low pressure system all in place--things might get interesting. #CAwx

One of the best things that can happen to you is noticing "that lady has interesting hair" in a nearby car and then realizing it's a Cocker Spaniel

I get most of my BREAKING news from the Facebook account of a radio DJ who died 3 years ago

Weird for me to see "not a kids' movie" when I and so many other 9-10 year old kids I knew watched this when it came out on video. I loved it and somehow felt like the target audience. It was a little heavy, but formative. Like when I watched Twin Peaks age 13-14

My “Writing 1” class in the fall of ‘95 was based around “The Internet” so we wrote papers on Hackers and The Net 💾

Treat yourself to some Hermeto Pascoal videos, RIP

Thank you to Stereolab for making new music 🚗

What are we even doing anymore, man? "The most liked video using the song shows AI-generated fictional couples from famous films taking a selfie with their imaginary children. It has racked up 4.2m likes."

The new Pino Palladino and Blake Mills album rules. Everything I want in a music listening experience at this point in my life. (3 year old and wife also enjoyed it during lunch today)

We really need a better, way more pejorative word that we can call these companies instead of “private equity”

Jammed in my Airpod Pros and enabled Dolby Atmos really fast when I saw this

If I ran things? This would've been the song of the summer. We would all be at the beach singing it while rollerskating or lifting weights (ironically or non-ironically), or just standing silently in line for an ice cream next to an old man, both of us tapping our feet just a little bit.

In 1998 a friend called me and said Hulk Hogan was at the surf shop he worked at, so I drove down there and he was trying on sunglasses. Finally after one pair he turned from the mirror toward me, nodded and said "these are pretty sweet" in full Hulk voice. I still say that in that voice regularly.

Result of non-editable posts in a clout and/or engagement driven online society is this video staying up on both TikTok and Bluesky as-is because it's doing numbers for the posters. This is in Huntington PARK, not Huntington BEACH. 34 miles from each other. Two VERY different local govs.

YES 🙂

NO ☹️

I like listening to oldies stations where every DJ died 25-40 years ago and is syndicated old recordings, but it acts as if it’s all happening right now. Comforting and horrific at the same time

I think the Savannah Bananas/Banana Ball in general has the greatest chance of uniting Americans together in a shared sport/activity/joke/fun

I played music with some other adult guests and some 5th graders at their art show today (in a pretty working class/poor/immigrant school) and the creativity in their art was so inspiring, really blew me away. I worry a lot about "kids these days" so it feels nice to see something positive!

"I think it should be controversial to NOT say anything" about Gaza I spoke to YouTube star and children's educator Ms. Rachel about her outspoken support for Palestinian kids in Gaza - and the bad-faith attacks on her in response. Full interview here: zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

I was thinking today about how hard it ruled that from ages 6-8 every single day I'd hear a song and/or see a video from ZZ Top's Eliminator record

As a kid my main dream for my teens was to be able to ride my bike to this malt shop

old pro golf, circus course. begging dogs, rehoboth beach, delaware, 1985

This is exactly what I hoped people would take away from this performance. I think it's safe to say everyone involved did, too. www.bluntmag.com.au/music/yo-gab...

In his Coachella debut @alyankovic.bsky.social joined Yo Gabba Gabba! alongside Thundercat, Paul Williams, DJ Lance Rock, Portugal. The Man, and a menagerie of puppety oddballs including H.R. Pufnstuf, Bailey the Lion, Domo, Cheer Bear, Duo, and Billy Bob Brockali. www.stereogum.com/2304084/watc...

Large amount of respect to Ms Rachel for truly standing up for ALL children

I am able to digitize video again, so here is Bikeride and of Montreal playing live in Japan on August 4th, 2000. We flew all the way over there to play just this one show and a Tower Records in-store. Such a fun adventure. youtu.be/MdnN4GfLSBU

Mentally transporting into my favorite atrium photos

I hadn't checked in on new library/production music releases in maybe 3 years and not surprisingly 50%+ of album covers are now Gen AI... But, Bruton cracked open those vaults wider and made my week. I've been blasting Fast Cutter. (amazing album cover too as always) www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1B1...
