His recent selfie with RFK Jr. suddenly makes all the sense

He’ll have something legitimately in common with Kennedy soon enough

Just lost my appetide

I saw the Merrill Staton Choir’s “Sidewalk Santa” on the track list and knew what I was having for lunch

I like to say happy holidays because it is inclusive and also might piss off someone who was already looking to get pissed off. Everybody wins

I wrote about “Merry Christmas, Baby” for @chron.com. www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Hello to everyone whose year-old posts on The Free Design’s “Close Your Mouth (It’s Christmas)” got love from me this afternoon

I’d have done this if I had the time or money

Always remember: piggy pets are for life, not just for Christmas

My emergency surgery from November 2022 is hereby paid in full. It was worth it for the Dilaudid and butterscotch pudding

TIL “Synchonicity II” is a metaphor for Sting’s tantric conversion. (still not quite sure how the humiliating kick in the crotch factors in)

By the way, if any of you all are using anything "created" by Made By Olof, including that Bluesky Unwrapped thing, just a word of caution. He uses and loves genAI. Literally says it on his profile. Also, shoutout to @camcantanything.bsky.social for pointing it out.

A little more back and to the left, Mr. Secretary

Check it, especially if you’ve never heard Saturday’s Children’s “Deck Five” (technically “Deck Six” but all good)

My favorite cinema experience: seeing the re-release Mr. Lindsey missed in ‘89 (RIP Spectrum) hours before Batman in its opening weekend. But he got Roscoe’s and Fatburger out of the deal so I call it a draw.

I was honored to MC a Joe Ely in-store at @cactusmusic.bsky.social about twenty-five years ago. There are so many great songs I could post in tribute but I’ll limit myself to an old 101 Rock Place fave. Go easy, Joe.

From America, Jan 1967: Music Records ad from A&M Records (+Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass Records; Chris Montez Records; We Five Records; The Baja Marimba Band Records; The Sandpipers Records; and Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 Records) «HOW'S THIS SOUND FOR CHRISTMAS?»

It hasn't even been twelve hours, but all three of us have been overwhelmed with requests from media for comment and I'm mostly writing this now so they'll leave me alone.

A thread I’ve been meaning to get to since last night. From the liner notes of the soundtrack album: WHEN HARRY MET SALLY... is a film about how people find each other.

Statement from the Lear Family on the death of Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner. Rob Reiner described Norman Lear as his second father.

The loss of Rob and Michelle is devastating. The stuff of Greek tragedy.

Farewell, RR. Nothing but love for ya

Rob Reiner. Thanks for so much.

My favorite “contemporary” song of the holiday for all who observe (and fellow Gentiles who have the good sense not to be antisemitic pricks)

The Callas crossover album nobody talks about

G O A T

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

This is how he's responded. He's never apologized or acknowledged his mistake publicly. He stopped responding to my posts when he sold the painting to someone else. I waited a full year for a refund and did not ask anyone to "dogpile" him. This is incredibly unprofessional.

Is he someone I should know?

Re-upping to properly tag @irishnumberones.bsky.social

The Christmas number one: a time-honored tradition for the UK and Irish charts that somehow never caught on in America. Given Billboard’s recent shifts in chart qualifications (and the annual return of certain holiday warhorses to the Hot 100), it could soon become as big a deal for us Yanks.

With any luck @communique.bsky.social will log in and see this before it falls out of season

People who love to say “all lives matter” get really annoyed when you wish happy to ALL the holidays

"Peace on Earth" is "rare." YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN

My last trip to Houston’s famed rodeo happened almost thirty-one springs ago, to see this band in support of this album. It was a fantastic show and Raul brought the goods as always. Rest easy, sir.

CAN SNIF BEEFS BEEFS FOR AN PORE BOI PLS

a good way to spend six minutes this season

Yeehaw! It’s the LGBTQ2S+ friendly cowboy tree of the Sweet Potato!

In no way surprised but still disappointed on some level that George Strait participated in this farce.

My heart weeps each year for the 93-year-old kids that age out of “The Christmas Song”

My second-favorite Christmas single of all time I’ll share #1 if/when it pops up on my feed
