Just realized that both @500songspodcast.bsky.social and the Good Ol' Grateful Deadcast both mentioned Jonathan Richman in recent eps (500's GTOs ep and Deadcast's Summer 85 pt 1 ep), and that feels both unexpected and just exactly perfect. cc @bourgwick.bsky.social @sg-marshall.bsky.social

I'm surprised there's been no info released about #JohnColtrane 's Tiberi Tapes box since it's slated for September. No date, no disc count, no tracklisting. What's the word on this #JazzSky?

And the Zappa ep is just what's fresh in my mind after beginning to listen. The prev ep on the GTOs' "The Captain's Fat Theresa Shoes" was reeeeeallllllllly my shit. Fantastic and thoughtful dip into fandoms here. Quintessential @andrewhickey.500songs.com and 500 Songs. 500songs.com/podcast/song...

Holy crow the things you learn just in passing from @500songspodcast.bsky.social. TIL that Sun Ra made a Batman album, produced by Tom Wilson (Dylan, VU). And that Zappa produced a single by TV's Robin, Burt Ward. All in the ep on Zappa's “Peaches En Regalia." 500songs.com/podcast/song...

Look, I don't wanna go on and on about this (eh, who'm I kidding, obvsiously I do), but I just had a cold leftover piece, and plucked off a piece of pep. And underneath that was another piece of pep. And under THAT was ANOTHER pepperoni. Rolling three saucers fulla oil deep on this pie!

“I was way more jaded at 18 than I am at 48.” This. Great observation, I think it applies for a lot of us. And it applies to so many things. One of the joys of getting older. Glad you’re having such a blast!

Help me out here…everybody can’t be king fu fighting AND dancing in the moonlight. Somebody’s lying.

A friend has an extra pair of tickets for BOB DYLAN tonight in Gilford NH. Let me know if you’re interested. Section 2B (or not 2B - that is the question) row 14 on the aisle

This, *this*, THIS! is the right amount of pepperoni on a #pizza! “Would you like extra pepperoni?” “Yes please!” “How much?” “Can you make it dense as fish scales?” Pepperoni on pepperoni action. That’s what I’m here for.

This Q&A was more interesting than I anticipated. But it crashed for me when Jagger comes back in part 2 and feels the need to backtrack his lyrical jab at Elon and says, no, really it’s a compliment. Keep the fascists, Mick, you can have ‘em podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

As the recent story in the Atlantic about Bezos’ retreat put it, for these folks, “everything is free and nothing matter.” That’s why they are so powerful and so dangerous. But they do fear death. And that’s a dangerous incentive situation against them (and society)

@calamityjon.bsky.social On the podcast (the m still catching up), did y’all ever talk about how disturbing that red image the end credits play over is? 😬

Cannot even imagine a more satisfying ending than the one @denizcamp.bsky.social and @javierrodriguez.bsky.social created for Absolute Martian Manhunter. This book has been astounding. Can’t wait for a single bound edition because I’ll pore over it for years

If I were a writer negotiating a contract now (as opposed to when I did that with MTV in 2000), I would press for the explicit right to republish on my own site anything I'd created for the outlet (which I did) — & save finals of every story so I could repub on my own

A handfula y'all are well aware Dylan recorded Froggie Went a Courtin'—but didja know that Bruce recorded it too? And would you have ever believed in elementary school music class that Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen would record Froggie Went a Courtin' and neither would be for a kids record?

Love the garage Dead years! I have the release from the first time around, but rebought for @bourgwick.bsky.social notes

Looks like today's Play Dead shows offer some cool instrumentation. On 7/27/74, Keith plays a Fender Rhodes through a Leslie for the whole show, a rarity. And 4/17/89 is Jerry's first use of MIDI? AND — why are the marketing PTB not highlighting another Seastones? 😃 That's my jam right there

Any Maryland or DC music nerds familiar with this book? Came across it while checking out a recommendation from @radiator9987.bsky.social . What intrigued me was that it apparently also covers WHFS's early freeform days. Anyone read it? www.publishersweekly.com/9781631440526

“The 5th most valuable vinyl” Et tu, Discogs? I guess language changes and I should stop being a music vocab curmudgeon 🤔😂

Gave these a shot, #SnackSky, and for my money (tho I’m not an expert), they equal the originals. Might as well make these the standard from now on—though I fear they’ll end up on @discontinuedfoods.bsky.social

Help Me Rhonda, you’re our only hope, send skeet

Back in 1990, New Yorkers were 28% immigrants and 57% non-white and/or Hispanic. Our 11-times-safer city today has a million more people, of whom 37% are immigrants and 69% are non-white and/or Hispanic. Happy Semiquincentennial, America. 2/2

Judging by the wall treatment, I’m pretty sure Angine De Poitrine live in the bathroom of a SoCal breakfast joint

Indicted. There’s nothing like indicting a random bystander for vandalism as a scapegoat to save face for the mad king who actually damaged the historic property to show what kind of regime you’re living under. Unbelievable. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Can whomever recruits Joel Ossoff to run for president convince him to wear properly fitted shirts?

Almost enough pepperoni

Just learned of @madcoversite.bsky.social ‘s Mad Magazine resource. Holy crow. If Mad was ever your jam, it’s worth a visit or 20 madcoversite.com And nice to see the love for his efforts in Mad #600

When The Pitt is that popular, folks want in

Leftovers wouldn’t fit in my lunch cooler, so I stuffed them all in grocery bag, and now I’m walking into work like #Columbo with a paper sack full of evidence

I was thinking of doing a complete relisten to Dylan's Bootleg Series. There's always more than I have time for when they're released. But the most recent 3 are what I'm most immediately interested in spending with, so maybe I should go in reverse 🤔 www.bobdylan.com/albums/

My first Fugazi show, my first old 9:30 show. S'pose that makes today a good day for me to go grab the recording!

Easily a top 3 Dischord release

Turned on World Cup at the break and one of the announcers was channeling his best Pete Hegseth in describing the men’s team dominance and I had no clue whether it was accurate. (His meatheadedness, tho, was pretty barfy)

Wish Laura Tenschert was on here! Great episode of @definitelydylan.bsky.social this week on Dylan and nostalgia. Haven’t finished, but it’s got me thinking about his recent tours…

A poster on the Hoffman forums worked up a top 40 from Heads submitting votes. I found that more interesting than a lot of "expert" lists. If you go to the page below, and search for Final Results, you can see where things shook out. forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/grat... Touch was #29

Freeeeeeee show! Come on down to the new Sub Pop Waterfront Store, June 17th! Sera Cahoone will be playing some new songs and sharing some exciting news! Sera Cahoone Live in-store Wed. Jun. 17th at 5 PM Sub Pop Waterfront 908 Alaskan Way Seattle, WA

So stoked to see Dylan play guitar on four (!) songs last night in Woodinville (obvs not in this shoddy pic)

Shout out to Lucinda for doing Rockin’ in the Free World. DOUBLE shout out to the two 18 yos moshing to Lucinda’s “Joy”

John Doe invites Eddie Vedder up for X’s The New World in Woodinville, Wash. (Doe and Lucinda Williams are opening for Dylan)

Did you see Project Hail Mary? Hear me out: Ryan Gosling in a Saved By the Bell reboot teaching Eridians

I was not interested in NYT songwriters list & only mildly interested in follow-on list compiled from readers' submissions. But THIS kind of added info is fascinating, so good job NYT: Reader "ballots including Motown writers were disproportionately likely to also include Springsteen"

Y’all know this album? If not, it’s worth knowing!

Took one of the kiddos to see their favorite, Zach Bryan. Nice to see three band members wearing Metallica shirts from the show the night before. (A lot, but also a small percentage — that was three out of a 23 person band!)

World’s top journalists cannot and will not say what a thing is

Traveling overseas and came across a copy of Uncut. Nice to see a little bit of home in the form of @matoswk.bsky.social writing about the current Springsteen tour

@vforvicious.bsky.social any last min Hamburger recommendations?

Here we go again Bands I’ve seen live 5+ times Bikini Kill Sleater-Kinney Fugazi Sonic Youth Wilco Jonathan Richman Patti Smith Springsteen Dylan Honorable mentions for those I can’t be sure how many times I saw Tom Petty Neil Young

Building out my political platform. No performative sauces (see below). And all public establishment bathrooms must offer paper towels. The people deserve better than "blow dryer only"

Sometimes Let It Grow is a little much for me, and I really need that Day Job chaser (sincere)
