I shot some hoops with Santa last night. He’s playing great and he says there’s no way he’s bricking on your chimney tonight.

I kinda think The Holdovers is the best Christmas movie.

This holiday season, tell a friend about Labrador. labradortunes.bandcamp.com/album/my-ver...

Just saying a thing on the internet I would typically rattle off on a normal day in the real world: I would die for @perennialtheband.bsky.social

2025 Best LPs: @labrador-tunes.bsky.social - My Version Of Desire @prettybittermp3.bsky.social - Pleaser Best Songs: @stereolabgroop.bsky.social - “Aerial Troubles” Labrador - “Dry Out In June” @ekkoastral.bsky.social - “Horseglue” Best Reissue: @thepainsofbeing.bsky.social - Perfect Right Now

It’s not a Christmas song. It’s not a New Year’s song. But it’s my belief that “Do You One Better” by @guessforthrills.bsky.social is the perfect slam your laptop shut until January song. m.youtube.com/watch?v=42vp...

I’m gonna have that third cup of coffee and watch Kelly Reichardt’s OLD JOY.

hahaha Andrew Tate also got his ass destroyed in a boxing match? Let’s keep this going. What other right wing chuds wanna test their manliness in the ring??

I may have cried several times tonight.. YLT Al Madrigal LUCINDA WILLIAMS!!!!!

My favorite reaction to Jake Paul getting KO'd

In all seriousness, I hope this puts the influencer era of boxing to bed for good. Crazy that an actual great match like the Bud Crawford v. Canelo fight could be overshadowed by this sham. Keep the science sweet.

Ira Kaplan is such an underrated shredder.

Just watching Jake Paul getting KO’d by Anthony Joshua over and over and over and over and over and over and …

This was reeeeeal good. YLT Jo Firestone Jeff Tweedy

Photo evidence: A.) I have a cool, smokin’ wife and B.) that she indeed played on the record.

A good toilet flushing is one of the most hilarious sounds we have.

Tis the season. My hot take: some Westerberg solo records (like this one) are just as good as the best Mats records and deserve to be referred to as such.

Wilco’s Solid Sound booking Billy Bragg, Gang of Four, The Mekons, and The Messthetics (2/4 of Fugazi) on the same fest is a commie punk’s fever dream. 😊

My wife played an organ part on the new record last night 🥰

Spurs are my favorite team in the West. Damn, they’re fun to watch.

Over under on Jerry Seinfeld turning up in the Epstein files?

Making music when you're an old-head is kind of amazing. You're no longer insecure about keeping up with what's "cool." You know what kind of song you can write and you just have to listen to your gut. Makes you appreciate the old-timers doubling down on their muse.

Gonna need some boots on the ground reporting by @zacharylipez.bsky.social for Cro-Mags’ Age of Quarrel set at this year’s Decibel Metal & Beer fest.

Automatic For The People sounds better when it’s 20 degrees out and snow is covering your sleepy neighborhood.

I love my band. I love rock and roll.

Having one of those days (weeks, months) where I simply had to “have a meatball parm about it.”

Last night ruled. Thanks to everyone who came out despite Philly being frozen tundra. Thanks to @perennialtheband.bsky.social for being the magicians of rock and friendship that they are and to Lax Poetic for being incredible. Second show ever! Watch out for them! Here’s a lil clip of a new one…

SNOW BE DAMNED TONIGHT WE ROCK @perennialtheband.bsky.social Labrador Lax Poetic The Khyber 7:30pm $15 BRING YA ASS

This Spurs v. Thunder game is ahhh-hooty HOOT!

The next one:

i am offering a revisit at IHTOV today: an in depth interview i did with john darnielle of the mountain goats about getting rid of his record collection and all that comes with that ihavethatonvinyl.com/conversation...

I think Nick Lowe is a lock for at least somewhere in the top 20 on the “coolest people who have ever lived” list.

I'm not saying this happened, but I would like to see a film about John Cassavetes, Peter Faulk and Ben Gazara getting into a bar fight with Woody Allen.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

I don’t know what “kinda guy” I am, really. But what I do know is that I’ve grown old enough to see that Dylan’s “Changing of The Guards” is the anthem for the kind of “guy” I’ve become. m.youtube.com/watch?v=uX5a...

What are you doing this Sunday? Keeping a stew boiling at low heat as you watch Broadcast News for the 50th time? Think again. Because this show is cookin' with HIGH HEAT! We got @perennialtheband.bsky.social We got the new rockers Lax Poetic (Restorations) We got your friends Labrador B THUR

The Move really were THAT band, huh? www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7wu...

Just showed a friend The Mekons Rock 'N' Roll by The Mekons for the first time and now my phone is blowing up with messages like "WHAT AN ALBUM!" "EXCELLENT" and "Front to back not a bad song." Highly recommended listen to shake out the winter doldrums! mekons.bandcamp.com/album/the-me...

Prospective employers should be alerted if an applicant “attended a live taping of Real Time with Bill Maher within the last two years” and “laughed.”

My favorite records of the year

I think about this one interview segment with Eddie Piller where he described Mod being an accessible counter-culture fashion for working class people who couldn't afford to "grow old punk." The Who's manager Pete Meadon called the sharp attire: "Clean living under difficult circumstances."

Philadelphia! Did you know that Perennial is playing in your lovely city one week from today?! It’s true; we wouldn’t lie about something like that. Catch The Perennial Sound with our best friends @labrador-tunes.bsky.social & Lax Poetic, Sunday 12/14 at Khyber Pass Pub!

this is tonight! it’ll be great!

If you disrespect women or dogs you and I will have a problem.

Watching this Jeff Buckley doc and remembering how much the album Grace helped me as a depressed teen. I didn’t know you could open your mouth and let your real voice out to mimic your pain, no matter how ugly at first or scary to even attempt. Here we are, I guess! I’m sure I’m not the only one.
