Inspired by the (bad) first episode of Pluribus, I just launched a new Substack where I unleash my inner script doctor and break down what makes some TV shows and movies not work--and how to fix them! shouldhavedone.substack.com/p/what-they-...

This is about to start! Tune in now for two hours of Brazilian vinyl! KBGA.org

Going to be celebrating Lô Borges—and a lot of other great musicians—tonight with two hours of all Brazilian vinyl. Don’t miss it! 8pm ET on KBGA

Quite simply one of the coolest tracks ever recorded. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh7O...

This is starting right now! Tune in for two hours of peerless Halloween music and weirdness! Listen: KBGA.org

TONIGHT on Vinyl Odyssey it's my final Halloween show of the year and it's one you're not gonna wanna miss: I'll be playing all of my spooky, sordid, tragic, maudlin, contemptible, Halloween-appropriate Country songs, plus some real weirdness along the way. 8pm ET on KBGA!

I had a family member who, after losing his spouse, was miserable but also refused to make any changes to accommodate to the new situation, instead insisting over and over again that there must be some woman who would want to move in and take care of him for free. Anyway.

I always tell people that if you wanna listen to my fake tech podcast you gotta start at the beginning due to the incredibly dense lore built up over 5+ years, but if you want a disorienting sample of the show I think this week’s episode is a good taste. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I know this can’t be the end of our activism, I know there’s still a lot of work to do, but seeing Emperor Palpatine reduced to this, to common street trash? Not gonna lie, it feels good

It’s one of the great tragedies of history that Johnny Paycheck never put out a Halloween album.

This is starting NOW! Don’t miss it!

TONIGHT is the first of three Halloween episodes of Vinyl Odyssey this year and I’ll be kicking things off with a mix of ghoulish garage rock, spooky synthesizers and a lot more general weirdness. 8pm ET on KBGA!

GOP: Now it’s the Department of WAR! And by war we mean war on American citizens! Don’t like it? Too bad because there might not be any more elections!! DEMS: Send us $5 to sign a card to “Draft Dodger Donnie” wishing him a happy “bone spurs anniversary” 🤣

Trump should obviously be impeached for this but so should anyone who responds like this.

This comes highly recommended, but you need to start from the beggining.

Hey @murderxbryan.bsky.social you need to know about this open.spotify.com/show/7I8EZAg...

Good to know that when Elon said we need to draw in the best and brightest from other countries he just meant the ones who will work for him for cheap.

Listen to the show or just learn about some cool new songs every week! open.substack.com/pub/vinylody...

RIP to David Lynch. It's hard to think of an artist who has meant more to me in this recent season of my life. I released a song yesterday dedicated to him and that showcases some of how his work has affected my thinking and life. <3 jessebrenneman.bandcamp.com/track/living...

Hey! I’m on air RIGHT NOW for the first in-person Vinyl Odyssey of the new year! Tonight’s an eclectic mix of really good music and that’s all I can say. Streaming now on KBGA.org

The next four years is going to be Trump saying stuff like this while Elon and the GOP strip the country down and sell it for parts.

Rigged, woke, not fair

I think this is in part because to be a faithful Democratic Party supporter is to believe in compromise as a virtue, since the Party is always compromising on its supposed values. If many liberal voters “took their own side” they’d be at odds with the party constantly (which would be good!)

I wasn’t able to get an album finished this year, but the stuff I was able to work on is some of my favorite yet— including this song, which is maybe the most excited I’ve been about a recording ever. I had to share a version before the year was out. jessebrenneman.bandcamp.com/track/girl-l...

How the hell are you supposed to drop naps when your baby routinely naps only 25 minutes? Also they should be in their crib even though the only way to nap longer is to wear them? In crib and overtired with many naps a day or worn with fewer, better naps? Chaos reigns!

TONIGHT on Vinyl Odyssey: Vinyl Christmas! Two hours of Christmas music, from the weird to the wonderful to the wacky, all on vinyl starting at 8 PM ET on KBGA.org

Embarking upon a hard night of sleep training tonight. Prayers up.

For this week’s Know Your Enemy bonus pod I was thrilled to join Matt and Sam to watch the deliriously bad REAGAN biopic/fever dream. Sign up for the patreon to learn how one man defeated the Commies and saved the world entirely through cool catchphrases and a pure heart. t.co/TmLpI7FT5A

every bonus ever paid to an insurance executive is a celebration of death

“What we’re called to ask is why the murder of one man must be described as unspeakable violence, but the systemic denial of life to 100,000 people is an acceptable business practice.”

Tonight on Vinyl Odyssey: tis the season for another Gospel Show! Two hours of mostly 60s and 70s gospel on vinyl starting at 8 PM Eastern. Get right with your god and tune in on KBGA.org

In all its mono splendor 😍

During playtime, Mommy disappeared—presumably forever. Now, with her surprise announcement of “peekaboo,” she’s returned, but for how long?

This is it. This is all Trump wants. He needs to be president because he needs to be validated as the best, but at the end of the day, in terms of his actual ideal scenario, this is as good as it gets.

Three years ago I ran to the store to get something on Thanksgiving morning, heard “Alice’s Restaurant” and immediately knew what I had to do. Several hours later this was released. Happy Tech Talk Thanksgiving! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

What’s great about this is that it doesn’t just turn the background actors into undead CGI ghouls, it also doesn’t improve Arnaz! Just bad all over!

Tonight on Vinyl Odyssey: all 60s and 70s ska, rocksteady and reggae! Good vibes for your pre-Thanksgiving hang! Don’t miss it, starting at 8pm ET on KBGA.org

If you’ve never listened to Tech Talk, why not start with this year’s Black Friday special—featuring an exclusive Father’s Guide to Tolerating Thanksgiving! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

This makes perfect sense. X is the modern town square and, just like in the olden days, the King owns all the peasants in the town square and has total control over their lives.

Nancy, no!!

I lived it: was listening to @murderxbryan.bsky.social and @gregopiehughes.bsky.social while doing dishes and suddenly thought to myself “you know, I have a lot of respect for Tom and Bunny”

Setting aside whatever the hell point he's trying to make, this is such a silly and obnoxious argument. "She didn't adopt any of her positions!" My bad, I assumed that by being on the campaign trail with her constantly she was trying to associate herself with Cheney, how foolish of me.

MOVIE PITCH: John Buden has it all: a loving family, a nice house, and, oh yeah, he’s the President! But when John’s party loses re-election, it’s a race against the clock to escalate as many conflicts and facilitate as many war crimes as possible before he’s outta there!

Why on earth is Nate Silver obsessed with finding out Taylor Lorenz’s age?

Feels clear that we’re living through a Potion Phase of human history, what with the raw milk craze and nootropics and such, and I’d be interested to learn more about other Potion Phases. Do they come in waves? How often do they occur?
