Has a blast chatting about/defending one of my favorite HELLRAISER sequels with these guys!

I love this woman so much. Thank you to my bestie, @beckysayers.bsky.social!

JADE’s entire debut album is just outstanding, but this track is especially fire for me. The melodies and production make it a beautiful companion to “Plastic Box,” in that both tracks evoke a melancholic vibe while also being major pop earworms. youtu.be/YVbipGXwi0o?...

My bestie @primothealien.bsky.social released an amazing pop album in the last last week! Give it a listen, especially if you miss the eclectic pop girl albums of the early aughts. open.spotify.com/album/5Yr7T4...

The Janet homage in all of this is insanely well-executed. I hope Ms. Jackson is honored. Also, I’m much more interested in Doja if she’s doing more stuff like this! youtu.be/rXDCs3D5iDU?...

This is so cute. I’ve admittedly loved all of Perrie’s songs this year (at least the ones now officially included on the album), but this one sold me even more on her pop girl energy. youtu.be/EGpPKsCZxow?...

Shawn gets deep about grief (and a brilliant Rebecca Hall performance) with @thearidrew.bsky.social in our episode on THE NIGHT HOUSE!!! Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0zNw...

Strong contender for one of my favorite songs this year. This album is also just fantastic! Count me a big Audrey Hobert fan. open.spotify.com/track/6ZAuQO...

Watching WATCHER to regulate, and just so grateful for this film. youtu.be/kpebJezzK30?...

Hyperpop fans, this is worth many streams and playlist adds to say the very least! The production once made me feel like the song was scratching an itch inside my ear I didn't know I had. Congrats yet again to my WiCKedly talented bff @primothealien.bsky.social! open.spotify.com/track/4n82Qz...

We’re only celebrating Helen Shivers today, so why not revisit our episode on IKWYDLS with @thearidrew.bsky.social?

I’m not enjoying posting as much, but I hope anyone I have ever kept up with on here is doing well and achieving all the things. ♥️

This new HAIM album is crazy good. Damn.

Still my favorite summer vibe song as of now. My first listen made me cry a bit. These are ethereal nostalgia vibes at their best. KC Rae (of Now Now) released a fantastic solo debut overall, check it out. open.spotify.com/track/1nwGCm...

I always forget how much this song is a massive favorite until it hits on a V2.0 revisit. The performance, songwriting, and production are as impressive now as they were 25+ years ago. Never fails to transport me back to a time in the '90s I always fondly remember. open.spotify.com/track/4clP7e...

Thank the heavens for music. What a thing, right?

Julia Michaels always delivers a pleasant surprise, and I mean that in the best way. Beyond her massive songwriting career, she remains an underrated pop artist in her own right. This release, and this particular track, are yet another vibe and a half. open.spotify.com/track/1cJTm0...

Garbage STILL gets the assignment. What an immense album. 🥹 open.spotify.com/track/1HzoaR...

Getting this in this way and at this point… i can’t get over it! 🥹I love this woman so. youtu.be/agu22bqGHto?...

Sugababes KILLED this! Studio version, please? Their harmonies remain distinctive and hypnotizing to this day. youtu.be/foH2UHeEZcg?...

Ok coming out of the kitchen and seeing this was an experience…

This is one of my favorite high strangeness films ever.

My fave bit of bathroom reading material for guests.

This is what the country has become. If you ain’t furious you ain’t paying attention

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

Thank you Greyhound!

So many people aren’t getting this yet, I fear! youtu.be/Paddtn5IdCk?...

I need this. Right now.

Been obsessing over Lisa (and Jennie) the last month. This has become one of my favorite songs/videos very quickly youtu.be/UxXY_hR_wzo?...

If anyone is a Switch user and plays Mario Party/Kart/anything that is multiplayer online, please drop your ID

MTV’s Making the Video was everything to me back when. I loved this era of intimacy from artists. In all its edits, we still got to see some famously private folks have fun, be in their element, and just be a bit human! youtu.be/A28MPuNFMu8?...

This is so sad, a lot of those cars were only a few weeks away from exploding independently

they separated butterball into his component parts

For the record, I feel like this is just referential pop brilliance executed perfectly. youtu.be/Nd_M9A5xFlY?...

This Gaga album is giving me so much that I never expected to need from her. It’s so good.

Sorry y’all, I’m obsessed with this album. This video is 🔥! youtu.be/rwlFWWGaZ5Y?...

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to my incomparable husband @tracedthurman.bsky.social. I’m grateful every day that I get to wake up and experience life with you by my side. The boys and I love you the most, Trace. ♥️

Love hearing about others’ creative processes. Watching this one made me really happy today, and also because this song is gorgeous and the album is great. youtu.be/4JAmGSq7B8w?...

Revisiting this classic in memory of my dad.

Hey @nytimes.com, why the change in headline? Murdered trans man not getting enough clicks for you? Proof: archive.is/aLsoN

I've got to say, the guy who accidentally became the Director of the FBI does 100% look like the guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI in a mid-2000s comedy about a guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI

It’s always a delight to have the unofficial third co-host of the pod back on (love ya @thearidrew.bsky.social) and he brought with him a polarizing, (kinda) sexy fever dream of a text. Let’s talk Nocturnal Animals, y’all!

In my thirties, my dad got to celebrate with me as I married my husband and received my Ph.D. I know without a doubt that our last years together when we finally “got” each other were just as meaningful to him as they were to me. That’s all I could have asked for. Love you, Dad.

My 2nd Found Frights piece is up at @bloody-disgusting.com! This month, I’ve taken a look at director Aaron Irons’ Appalachian horror films CHEST and JEFFREY’S HELL, which recall some of my favorite found footage classics. Let me know your thoughts if you’ve had a chance to catch these!

For those who aren’t already aware, my BFF Primo the Alien is an insanely talented pop singer/songwriter/producer. You should check her out if you love slickly produced electropop with powerhouse vocals. Her new single “Get the Getty” is bonkers in the best way! open.spotify.com/track/133a6N...

I’m so sad this absolute banger flopped. I’m obvs not from the UK, but as a queer who finds Xtina’s “Dirrty” to be one of the best pop singles of all time, I loved the homage. Not sure what Louisa is up to these days, but she can absolutely blow and deserves success. youtu.be/VipdnXVcSWY?...
