new song march 3 🥲

GOALLLLL!!!!

Happy release day for Remember Sports!! Very solid album here- looking forward to seeing them rip in the spring, nearly 8 yrs since I first saw them (back when they were just “Sports”)

The downside of watching the latest episode of The Pitt as soon as it’s released is that we now have to wait the longest amount of time until the next episode of The Pitt

Although I’m slightly late on this anniversary post, it’s never really too late to celebrate a time when a Nazi gets punched. RIP Layne, you were a real one

Songs In the Key of Abolish Ice T-shirt re-up! superchunk.bandcamp.com/merch/songs-... Proceeds going to Immigrant Law Ctr of MN & The Peoples Laundry MPLS! Get em while you can…

Happy Ratboys release day!! It’s another triumph of a record 👏👏

Yes, everything is absolutely terrible right now. Nevertheless, it’s nice to see some genuinely amazing, innovative guitar stuff coming out of NAMM

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

In need of a timeline cleanse, so going to post a list of bands who have albums coming out in 2026 that I am very much looking forward to (in no particular order): Ratboys Remember Sports Gladie The Paper Kites Wintersleep Future Teens Let me know who you’ve been looking forward to/ones I missed

After finally coming around on fuzz, I couldn’t decide between the Big Muff Op Amp, Triangle, and Green Russian - so I ordered all 3 Looks like 2026 is shaping up to be the Year of the Big Muff

Looking to donate a little more this calendar year. Can anyone recommend good immigrant’s rights and trans rights charities?

Really enjoyed the new HBO documentary on Counting Crows

stop scrolling and read this and share it. let’s save some lives

Was just reminded that today marks the 8 yr anniversary of when the stars aligned and I *finally* got to see my hero, @tedleo.bsky.social, and the Pharmacists for the first time

I really dislike that tourists with no common sense public transit etiquette have been staying at Airbnbs in my neighborhood. Keep your damn bookbag out of my seat space

Holy crap, a new album from The Sterns?! Yes please!! (spoiler alert: it’s good)

Our 11+ yr old rabbit, Melvin (aka Melvis), is very suddenly and rapidly not doing too well. Need some positive vibes sent his way. Pic is from a few yrs ago, but look at this dapper good boy

I am the Someone who Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin

One of the most satisfying things when I write melodies is when I come up with a harmonized lead guitar riff that sounds great. The only downside is that I now have to figure out what rhythm part is going on underneath

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

But damn it feels good when the good guys win

I was number 24 at my polling place this morning in NJ, which is a lucky/significant number for me. Does it mean good things for the outcome tonight? Idk, I still can’t seem to shake the feeling

Can’t shake the feeling that tomorrow will end in utter disappointment. Really hope I’m wrong, but the sense of dread is real

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

In Philly tonight to see a concert, and I just continue to love this place* * = except for their sports teams

Today’s forecast: treats!! We have at least 2 gems that dropped - the new @camptrashband.bsky.social album that sounds friggin *huge*, and a killer self-titled debut from Snocaps

The junk/spam texts have been coming more frequently with my upcoming NJ governor election. I usually just ignore, but this one pissed me off since it’s complete BS *and* is from a PAC with a Virginia address. They can fuck all the way off with that trash

"The Right in 2025 Sounds a Lot Like the Nazis in 1925" Today’s far right may know it’s wrong to talk about a “superior race,” so it just frames it as a “superior culture” instead: zeteo.com/p/the-right-...

Absolutely love the latest Ratboys single to drop from the forthcoming album. So excited for this one

Rewatching Home Movies for the first time in ~20 yrs, and this is still easily one of the best McGuirk scenes in the entire series

I cannot stress how cathartic it is to see live music, even if you don’t know 3/4 of a bill. Caught a show last night in the LES, and was blown away by the solo acoustic set from Molly Frances. Great set, killer performance, and added to the library

Soft-launching today: A podcast series hosted by me and superhero critic @annkpowers.bsky.social, on why certain songs just keep coming back in style. New eps every two weeks for NPR Music Plus subscribers, but the first ep is free to all in the ASC feed. Go now: www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

Jimmy Chamberlin appreciation post. One of the best to lay it down behind the kit

New ICE recruiting methods have resulted in half of this group of absolute winners failing AN OPEN BOOK TEST

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

Can’t believe it’s been 10 yrs to the day since I met The Joy Formidable before their killer CMJ show at Brooklyn Bowl. Also can’t believe it’s been a decade since CMJ festival existed. It was a blast being able to bounce around venues across NYC to see some free (& not free) shows

Anyone else still waiting for Zwan to hit streaming? No? Just me?

I have zero fucking sense of humor about this rfk shit. besides the obviously gross misreprestation/othering/etc of autistic people it's catastrophic from any sound scientific POV. any doctor who consults governmental guidelines for anything at all under this admin is guilty of malpractice

How in the hell have I lost *2* pairs of good concert earbuds after 3 of the last shows I’ve gone to?

Found out from a coworker that our UHC health insurance plan isn’t covering either the Covid or flu vaccines for us this year. What in the actual fuck are we doing?!

Liquid Mike hive, we ride!!!

Nobody who voted to confirm RFK is fit to hold public office
