A thoroughly enjoyable Ace Frehley poster from a 1979 Swedish pop/rock mag. Which it seemed entirely right to post.

Amazing sky over the knob tonight.

I had a blast recording with @joenatoli.bsky.social last night. We're cooking up some sonic goodness that I'm hoping y'all will dig. Stay tuned.

I learned a lot about John Fogerty and his family tonight. Like how it's a fucking miracle he's even playing CCR songs live. That miracle's name is Julie Fogerty. Behind every successful man is an amazing woman. More in the article.

Life is amazing when God decides to put you in the timeline where you'll see John Fogerty's sons open for him during a CCR revival show. Check out Hearty Har. Phenomenal sound!

Let's go!

Bucket list night; I'm in line at the John Fogerty show in, with all due respect, the middle of nowhere in the Appalachian Mountains.

It's Devil's Night. I can't think of a better album for it. Also, don't let them tell you it's "Mischief Night" – that's like Disney watering down the name of Boba Fett's ship.

Jammy jams

Jack DeJohnette, of the most daring and singular jazz drummers of the last 60 years, died on Sunday. n.pr/47bWFH8

Album review: Mammoth – The End | Kerrang!

I've watched enough Whatnot record shop shows to write an essay on common tactics; one being the illusion of exclusivity. For example: is a record really "limited edition" when the run was 3,000? 🤨

I miss when Ai meant Adobe Illustrator.

Just thinking about Grant Imahara. (I'm a fan, didn't know the man.)

The new album, "The End" from Mammoth arrived a couple of days early and, well… it's another GEM 💎 from Wolfgang. Sounds great on the turntable and there's enough Van Halen tapping to go around for everyone. Tappy-tappy-tap-tap. So good. Check it out when it officially comes out tomorrow.

It's here! The junior album from Mammoth, no longer Mammoth WVH. Maybe this 🆕 album will pay the legal fees for acquiring the name?

PSA: Billy Joel's River Of Dreams is out on the market, FINALLY. Shared because I've been searching it for years. Was HUNDREDS before this. Who knows how long it lasts, but I would not wait if you want it! Good luck! #Vinylcommunity www.amazon.com/River-Dreams...

I LOVED playing The Beatles: Rockband. The animations were tuned into the aesthetic of the fab 4 and the artistry of the intro and outro animations are unmatched. Just a gem. 💎 Check out the video in the link. I might have to dig out my Rockband guitar this weekend. cc/ @joenatoli.bsky.social

RIP Ace Frehley.

TIL there's a hate group operating as a music label in my county. I think I'm going to throw up.

Can we do a moment of silence for Drew Struzan (and my childhood), please? From The Muppets to Black Sabbath to Star Wars and beyond – Drew's work is the visual style of nostalgia. RIP.

What's so crazy about The Darkness is that it's not the singing or the songs that turned me off. It's the fact that two of the guys in The Darkness decided to shit all over some kid that I otherwise wouldn't care about. I don't know much about Yungblud, but I know when someone's getting bullied. BS.

Sunday jams. Hat tip to @joenatoli.bsky.social for the introduction to Ampacity last week. What a GREAT band. 🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼

"Neil Young pulls his music from Amazon." That's the headline. Been there before with him and Spotify. His music will be back in 6 months.

No Doubt’s “Tragic Kingdom” turns 30 today! Go schedule that colonoscopy

Sometimes I think about how the dinosaur in the Bat Cave could be the remains of Beast Boy.

Just me waking up the hamster in the wheel to turn on the lights because it's time for (drum roll) office after-hours. (Woop woop.) Keeping me company: Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels, and you, of course.

So, how you digging THAT new Taylor Swift track? You know. The one that sounds just like this.

I saw Rush play over 10 years ago and, man, I am just stoked about the band reforming with Anika on the kit and the addition of a keyboard player to liberate Geddy a bit during the tour. Positive news for a change! Neil was as amazing as everyone says – a giant. How awesome to be able to honor him.

Note to self: Charles Nelson Riley is a viable option for Halloween.

The late Steve Albini once quipped that Roundabout by Yes masterfully and perfectly accomplished in 8 1/2 minutes what Rush was trying to do with their entire careers. I think it misses the point. You go to see Rush because it's fucking Rush. And you go to see Yes because it's fucking Yes.

2025 will go down as a rollercoaster ride for rock 'n roll. Back to the Beginning. The end of Ozzy. Rush returns. Metallica's earthquake. New music from Ghost and Steven Wilson. Bruce Dickinson touring and playing Flash of the Blade (a live rarity). The Queen tribute at the Polar Music Prize…

At my age, the only way I can survive the pit is at an Elvis Costello show.

It's so good to hear these old songs played live in 2025. I'm probably listening to this a few more times until my Taylor Swift record arrives. 😂

I need to watch my funds this month (Christmas and birthdays will take their cut) but, if you love Pelican like me, go show them some love on Bandcamp today and pickup Flickering Resonance. It's 🔥

Name your price, help some local charities, and hear some live Foo performed in front of dozens – maybe more. Brought to you by Bandcamp Friday.

RIP to one of the greats, Renato Casaro.

Evening jams. This one's been on vinyl for a hot minute – found it in the 'new releases' section on streaming.

Your moment of Zen.

@av4apod.bsky.social OM ADVAITIC SONGS TIL DEATH BRO (It’s not our problem that everyone else is wrong.) Appreciate the shout out, Quinn. 🤘🏼😆🤘🏼 The rest of you: GO LISTEN AND LEARN. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

I got lost down the Funko advent calendar reddit rabbit hole and now I want a 3D-printer to make my own little, bespoke guys because the pops could be so much better.

Shout out to all the bands that have logos that look like a bunch of tree roots. I can't read your name, but y'all are doing you. Respect, whoever you are.

I lost a 1969 presssing top copy of "In the Court" in an auction, but I ain't even mad. Too rich for my blood!

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours without prep. 1. AC/DC 2. Star Wars 3. How UI & UX designers can create, maintain and shepherd design systems that business leaders will crave. Not a brag. Just experience. 😅✌🏼

Chronicle: Prologue is the 3 track, 20 minute single released after Mountain Caller's debut album. It serves as a prequel to their story-driven instrumental rock. I'd love it if more fans could get it in a reissue because it's really that good. Time will tell if that ever happens.

Castle Rat made Bandcamp's Daily and I'm here for it. daily.bandcamp.com/album-of-the...

Lord, thank you for making me stubborn. When I didn't know how to stand up for myself, at least I was too stubborn to lie down. When joining the crowd would have been easier, I was stubborn enough to stand apart. When I didn't know how to love myself, I was still too stubborn to self-sabotage.

Mornin' y'all.
