in case you missed it today, good one at IHTOV for the psychocandy anniversary

I was excited to write about one of my favorite albums on its 40th birthday, thanks to @ihavethatonvinyl.com

if you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it

this morning, a woman wearing this hoodie said to my dog (presumably) “you’re so gorgeous” while looking me directly in the eyes

people love to talk about how we don’t need anymore DJs (true) but we also don’t need anymore creative directors

Making Time ♾️ at Fort Mifflin in Philly

Making Time ♾️ at Fort Mifflin in Philly

maybe the Eagles went to Making Time and are hungover

what compels men to have goatees?

let me cook

pretty sure these headphones bleed a lot when they’re turned up but it’d be good for my normie coworkers to hear some Black Moth Super Rainbow

•Jessy Lanza - Pull My Hair Back •Burial - Archangel •Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury •Spiritualized - Let It Come Down •Fatima al Qadiri - Asiatisch •The-Dream - Love vs. Money •DJ Rashad - Double Cup •Chromatics - Kill for Love •Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II •Money - The Shadow of Heaven

posting about Trump on IG is a lot like promoting a T*ylor Sw*ft album. yeah we know that happened, yeah we know it sucks

rooting hard for Zohran even though I slightly resent anyone who makes me care about the NYC mayoral race

The Beach Boys may’ve been the first music I ever heard and Brian Wilson had a direct hand or indirect influence in nearly all the guitar-based music that means something to me. from the Velvet Underground to the Jesus & Mary Chain to Spiritualized, he was always the clear through-line. RIP, king

I would love to watch a conversation between John Kruk and Charles Barkley

I suggest listening to Spiritualized instead

many of you would be arrested for this if you lived in China

White Lotus is like if someone heard about the concept of prestige TV but never watched any of it and then tried to make their own version of it from memory

bumping this for anyone who may have missed. wrote about my favorite album, which turned 30 this year

do you have any idea how quickly I clicked the play button on this video www.criterionchannel.com/chinese-crim...

listening to the new WU LYF (again) and feeling deep shame about how much British music there is that I love (again)

just a reminder that IHTOV is reader funded, and every cent goes towards paying writers, my editor, and my web guy for maintenance of the site. if you wan to support IHTOV and what i do here, every dollar helps keep it alive ko-fi.com/inthefade

thanks to @ihavethatonvinyl.com for letting me write about my favorite album, “Pure Phase” by Spiritualized, which turns 30 today ihavethatonvinyl.com/essays/pure-...

watching the three Philly shows (Deli Boys, Long Bright River, Dope Thief) that premiered this month and enjoying them all to varying degrees

White Lotus is like if someone heard about the concept of prestige TV but never watched any of it and then tried to make their own version of it from memory

congratulations to Sean Baker who will now be tasked with creating the first Marvel movie about a meth-addicted cam girl

I doubt I’m alone here but I struggle more and more watching rich people do rich things

it’s very funny to me when someone has their email address in their email signature

who else is psyched for the big Philly sports game today (Sixers vs. Bucks)?

Spiritualized. Lazer Guided Melodies, Pure Phase, Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, Let It Come Down

it’s been very fun trolling my NY and LA coworkers about the Eagles but now they need to win

the Mavs said to themselves, “what if we could make our team worse now AND in the future” and pulled the trigger

it’s wild there are people so racist and sexist they want to have less days off

very cool world we’ve managed to create for ourselves

in honor of the Slide Away Fest announcement today

me anytime I have to leave the perfect city of Philadelphia to go to New York

considering I mostly started keeping up with this in October, not bad

“you will be visited by three spirits” the three spirits:

when I say NYC is “Disney World for billionaires” this is why

only a Sixers player could be evaluated for a concussion, only to have a torn meniscus instead

someone just used the word “stratactical” on a call and I’m starting to see red

the Philadelphia Museum of Art is getting some great free press today

KJ Martin, Guerschon Yabusele, and Jared McCain lead the Sixers in win shares, just like everyone predicted

watching, as far as I know, the only Philly sports game on right now, *my* cursed 76ers

it’s depressing how there’s such a direct correlation between useless corporate jargon used and job title (the higher up someone is, the more garbage language they use)

my faves of 2024 (bound to change tomorrow)
