I got my hair cut.

Getting pushed deeper into my couch by the sheer guitar force in the outro to “Laylow” by My Morning Jacket. Watch Embiid and PG return to da Sixers with these records… MMJ - Z The Soft Boys - Underwater Moonlight Loose Fur - Born Again in the USA Radiohead - OKNOTOK

Slow day. 1 like will get you an album or film recommendation.

Hey, so... Any music journalists out there in bluesky world wanna hear a cool record?

Listening to Sam Cooke and watching this Nuggets v. Suns game. Fuck ICE. Check on your friends. Heal your brain/soul/body with art and friendship and then do it until you’re dead. Sam Cooke - S/T Sam Cooke - Night Beat

Sturgill Simpson fucking rules. There isn't much to be hopeful about these days, but knowing that his decision not to stream his album, physical release only, and then scoring a top Billboard placement is a real joy.

Listen to the new @gladiephilly.bsky.social record. You’ll be happy you did!

Struck me today that I've never kept a band name/moniker around long enough to have this many songs before. It's kinda fun to have a butt load of songs to choose from.

Fantastic review of MY VERSION OF DESIRE over at @bigtakeover.com bigtakeover.com/recordings/l...

That FDNY: Chicago bit on Reggie Dinkins is pure gold.

I’m generally a big fan of the Peter Jackson LOTR/Hobbit films, but imagine how awesome it would’ve been if Terry Gilliam tried making them in the late 80s?

4.7.26 👀

Does Jesse Welles actually have a song?

Which production company is going to do the logical thing and give me & @labrador-tunes.bsky.social the money to drive around the UK eating at fancy restaurants and make our own version of ‘The Trip’

Okay I realize this band is all I talk about these days (finding joy) but I'm really trying to think of an album that has a better drum sound than Mothership Connection by Parliament. The whole production is otherworldly levels of crisp, but THAT snare is undeniable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aGn...

Currently in a long stretch where every action I take to be helpful or positive is met with a “thanks but go fuck yourself” reaction. Must be my face, voice and personality.

Solidarity and a big ol' "whew boy" to all bands plotting out a tour this summer with these skyrocketing gas and goods prices.

Had never listened to Funkadelic’s first record ‘Free Your Mind … And Your Ass Will Follow.’ Bought a copy and it’s kinda blowing my mind. They were basically doing everything CAN was doing but here in the States. Also read George Clinton was obsessed with The MC5. Goddamn, this is it.

Had a wonderful “Miss you buddy. What kinda old guy stuff are you dealing with?” calls with @khayeslpsnguits.bsky.social earlier today.

Train Dreams is the type of flick that is incredibly “my shit”

Up to my old schemes: Watching the Sixers hang on by a thread, volume off, with records on. Reigning Sound - Time Bomb High School Erykah Badu - Mama’s Gun Deep Purple - Shades Of Deep Purple Fela Kuti & Africa 70 - Expensive Shit!

Siro the Barenaked Ladies fan was one of my favorite phone calls on @bestshow4life.bsky.social in a loooooong time. Classic stuff.

Basketball time. Here are the records I’m listening to. TOO loud, old man Abernathy? TOO BAD! @perennialtheband.bsky.social - In The Midnight Hour Lambchop - This is what I wanted to tell you The Besnard Lakes - Are The Last of The Great Thunderstorm Warnings Echo & The Bunnymen - Porcupine

Shooting hoops, no matter how trash your jump shot is, is healing to the soul.

I hope Scott Bessent gets boinked in the crotch by a football.

Having a real hard time working when our country is brazenly killing children in Iran to divert attention away from evidence of our president raping children.

Starting my late night catch-up of the Sixers game with a listen to some bonafide heaters. Redd Kross - Self-Titled (the red album?) Horace Andy - Sings For You And I The Prisoners - A Taste Of Pink

You deserve a treat. Watch this clip of The Prisoners live on French TV. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q11n...

Watching the Sixers [writhing in excruciating pain]. Listening to these records: Silver Car Crash - Shattered Shine Willie Nelson - Shotgun Willie Cat Power - The Greatest The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed

It’s really cool to me that yall will be hearing a new Labrador song very soon.

East coasters: open a window!

That run of “Where Is My Love?” into “The Moon” on Cat Power’s The Greatest put me in a suplex this evening while seeing Chan n’ co. play the album in full.

Did people drop out and follow Parliament Funkadelic on tour like Dead Heads? Feels like that would’ve been the move.

I regret to inform you that if done correctly, Fugazi’s “23 Beats Off (Albini Version)” transitions perfectly into “Ants Marching” by Dave Matthews Band.

Tuning in to the Lakers v. Nuggets game to see if Jokerman clowns on Luka like the evil mastermind he is. Game on mute, spinning these records. Quasimoto - The Unseen The Stooges - Funhouse Daniel Romano & Outfit - Live in Oslo Funkadelic - One Nation Under A Groove

Felt good about myself for not buying any new records for a few months only to realize I just spent mucho dinero on 300 records to sell for the band 😎

I can only imagine that seeing Parliament Funkadelic at the height of their powers in the mid-70s was like having every cell in your body blasted apart and then put back together differently. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XzK...

Oh, fun! Didn't know P4k did a Sunday Review of TOOL's Aenema. Let's see how the new comment section reacted. What the...

It's mid-afternoon here on the East Coast. Haven't plugged the last Labrador record, MY VERSION OF DESIRE, in a min, but hear me out: It's good and might be what you're looking for. RIYL: Neil, The Kinks, GBV. Pretty soon I'll be talkin' bout new tunes. labradortunes.bandcamp.com/album/my-ver...

Conducting a scientific investigation to find out what the ‘DOPESMOKER’ of every genre or music is.

Watching the Clippers v. Warriors game and hope Draymond suffers a debilitating fart-attack mid game. Here’s what’s on the turntable: Shellac - 1000 Hurts Horse Lords - Interventions The Staples Singers - Be Altitude Fugazi - Steady Diet of Nothing

I don't think Armed Forces cracks my top 5 Elvis Costello records, but I do think it's Nick Lowe's best production work. God, it's wonderful living inside my skull sometimes.

Big Philly Show Announcement! On 6.12 we’ll be playing Johnny Brenda’s with @maxwellstern.bsky.social and Old Souls. See ya there!

Sixers vs. Celtics on mute. Dangerously full of chicken. Listening to these records: The Breeders - Pod Dion - Born to Be With You Stevie Wonder - Innervisions Buzzcocks - A Different Kind of Tension

I like that one song from that pharmaceutical commercial that goes: [stomp-clap] “Woah-oh, a woaaaAHHHoh” [bluesy scale]

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Feels like the movie EDDINGTON is getting more important and relevant by the day.

I can’t imagine hating Tyrese Maxey.
