@phandy2001.bsky.social @sofijav.bsky.social Mission accomplished!

Great interview by @reckless.bsky.social. This f'in' CEO makes me want to write with a goddam quill and ink like Penelope on Bridgerton. JFC. www.theverge.com/podcast/8987...

Changes vs last show is a good feature 🙏🏻

I’ve always loved Seastones in live releases, never spent time with studio versions. Would love folks’ takes on the original 75 release vs the 2018 version. @brokensymmetry.art, @bourgwick.bsky.social, others?

Why we listen ...

Y'know the Boys of Summer? With the "Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac?" It's 1984. What Dead song is that Cadillac dude listening to? I've got a hundred bucks that says "Feel Like a Stranger." It's gotta be spendy sleaze, right?

This here skeet 👇🏻

I like a fine beer with fine can art

Great observation. The quintessential example of this for me is pulling up a streaming service to hear a particular song or album and my kids much less frequently going there for something specific

Is it just me or is #Bridgerton S2 an homage to #FamilyStone (movie, not band)? Eldest son feels overwhelming family responsibility; is going to marry the “wrong” sister? Gets the wedding ring stuck on the “right” sister’s hand?!?!

New OLD Fugazi. Digital only benefit. Instant DL. fugazi.bandcamp.com/album/albini...

Went to see the EPiC doc in part to see drummer Ron Tutt. I only know him from Elvis and Garcia. Came home to look at his discography and lordy be! Had no idea he was on a whole feast of albums... Quincy, Nesmith, Mancini, Streisand, Buckinham Nicks, Parsons, Joel, Emmylou, Andy Wms, Carpenters...

Curious if someone could mount a successful city council campaign on the platform of there are entirely too many sauces being drizzled by restaurants?

Never have been much of a committed-to-one-artist cover band enthusiast, but Bertha are a ton of fun to see, and I do dig hearing all the familiar songs with their amazing trio+ of vocalists youtube.com/playlist?lis...

New Messthetics with James Brandon Lewis! Didn’t know this was out! themessthetics.bandcamp.com/album/deface...

I love this Tight Connection attempt

Simon & Garfunkel, 8/13/83, on the short, soon-aborted tour they did after the Concert in Central Park. Show was at the Laurel Race Course in Laurel #Maryland. Dont recall of any other show staged there

I interviewed more than 200 people for The Freaks Came Out To Write so I thought I'd tell you some of my tips and tricks: "The Art of Interviewing: How to Get People to Tell Your Their Stories (And Their Secrets)," will be held in 2 sessions on March 15th and 22nd. buff.ly/XNDcO1h.

snow day news drop: last week, i turned in a draft of the book i've been working on for the past 6 years! right now, it's called "the invisible hit parade: a taper's history of music" & will be out in 2027 from da capo/hachette. much more to come, obviously!

The problem with raspberries is they never hit your mouth in the gut

Who are you completist artists? Dylan, Dead, Springsteen for me. New releases from Coltrane vault (post Atlantic signing) are likely an automatically pre-order, but I guess complete means complete, so not on the list.

I enjoy alla youse folks on my music list

@stevenhyden.bsky.social, very nice contributions to 60 Songs this week. I wonder if another way of distinguishing bt descriptive & prescriptive on GOTJ & Rising is TJ is “these characters are living through this,” whereas the Rising is “WE lived through this.” Cc @harvilla.bsky.social

Shout out to @harvilla.bsky.social for spreading the gospel of #Springsteen's most Sonic Youthy moment, his "57 Channels" noisefest on SNL in 1992. youtu.be/iY_vuZjuD9I

@radiator9987.bsky.social I’m guessing that Baltimore rock radio doesn’t play Kix’s “The Itch” much these days. (Also guessing you don’t listen to terrestrial radio much these days)

I was wondering why people are head over heels with Michael Shannon's REM cover band, and then I remembered how stoked I am to see a bunch of folks in drag play Dead songs. We like what we like, and I'll always love that.

Art-enthused misfits from the NW! Sub Pop Records is extremely proud to announce the return (for our 20th year!) of the Sub Pop Loser Scholarship. Apply by March 16th. Deetz are here-> bit.ly/sploser

Thought of @chivon2go.bsky.social shop.udiscovermusic.com/products/wee...

@harvilla.bsky.social did the bait and switch one too many times on 60 Songs today. I was sure this intro was going to be about the actual show topic (“Toxic”) just to throw us all off from the show’s overly used misdirect. Now that would’ve been a sweet bait and switch. (I do ♥️ 60 Songs, FTR!)

The Trump regime’s desire for malfeasance is bottomless, but its capacity is not. They’ll definitely lie. They might try some theft. But I see nothing positive in pretending they’re more popular and competent than they are, and that the task of stealing Congressional elections is easier than it is.

I think I must be the only #StarWars fan who has a hard time accepting the blockiness of #Grogu ‘s movements. I love using 3D tactile stuff in movies, but when Grogu’s motion is like a Ms Piggy puppet in a 1980 backyard show, I hanker just a bit for CGI

Nice to see @andrewhickey.500songs.com ‘s @500songspodcast.bsky.social ep on Dark Star quoted in @jnewton100.bsky.social’ new “Here Beside the Rising Tide”

Fantastic assessment from @usefulnoise.bsky.social

Catherine O’Hara SCTV thread youtu.be/990OaFr8EYw?...

No, it’s not his best, & I could not care less that it isn’t. He’s already written songs for the ages. I want songs for now. Gimme more people writing abt King Trump’s private army. It's our blood and bones And these whistles and phones Against Miller and Noem's dirty lies youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w?...

@questlove.bsky.social talking with @kimletgordon.bsky.social about the heartbreaking sound of @neilyoungarchives.bsky.social 's "Philadelphia" made my morning www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHpQ...

Trump wants to appear eager to minimize clashes between his government militias and protesters. But he doesn't want them to stop doing the things that are causing the clashes in the first place. The "pivot" is really about getting Dems to back off in budget talks. 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2057...

If media is going to claim a "pivot," let's stipulate some threshold questions: Is ICE still treating US cities like occupied territory? Will there be serious governmental investigations into ICE killings? Any accountability for them? If not, nothing is changing. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Holy crow, do I love The Vera Project! youtu.be/muJGpwC-CTQ?...

Listened to demo of Black Muddy River tonight and thought back to that long discussion on here a couple weeks back about Dead singers singing other Dead singers’ songs. Sue me if you must, but I would not have minded if Brent took a turn on lead for BMR

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Digging this show from ‘82 Playing to open first set ✅ Followed by Shakedown with good vox ✅ Minglewood followed immediately by Samson, first and only time ✅ jerrybase.com/venues/856

Snow Day (not here in the PNW) mug roll call #harDCore

Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Republic continues to have fascinating and haunting connections to the real world.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Our Democratic elected officials are not rising to this moment so most of them must go. Any elected official who isn’t willing to organize a Project 2029 around punishing everyone in the Trump administration in order to save democracy must go.

Just watched Columbo — late era Columbo, mind you — marvel over the wonders of a fax machine and realized I am one thousand years old

Introduce yourself with five concerts you wish you'd seen: Mozart (anyone performing anything of his fresh in his lifetime, why not?) Huddie Ledbetter John Coltrane with Eric Dolphy 11/1/61 The Beatles in Hamburg (any date'll do) Bob Dylan 5/17/66
