Today is a good day to educate yourself about the Baldies, the Minneapolis political punks who fought Nazis and founded Anti-Racist Action. These guys were heroes of mine. This is a great documentary. youtu.be/8BSDZ1DIEIQ?...

Five concerts you've seen with women lead singers: Deerhoof Lizzo Otoboke Beaver Tropical Fuck Storm Juan & Juanita (That's just in 2025.)

Same. 'There never was a city kid truer or bluer.'

Oh my OOIOO! This looks great. See you there.

Definitely hear similarities! When I saw Flesh Eaters in '18 I was surprised that they covered Green Manalishi. Then I ran into Chris D. the next morning at a coffee shop and asked him about it. He said he'd just always wanted to sing it. It ended up on their '19 record too. youtu.be/IdierQcoavI?...

This documentary escaped my notice in 2018, the 50th anniversary of MLK’s death. But I’m glad I watched it tonight. It is superb. youtu.be/aVGRg89DbyM

Best band. Seeing them again in two weeks.

Black Eyes (on some songs). Just saw them tonight!

Black Eyes are back baby. Great show tonight. Line of the night: “Minneapolis doesn’t belong to ICE. It belongs to Prince.” @dischord.com

When I saw them in SF (2010 I think?) I had a bad fever. It was like 95 degrees inside the venue and the place was choked with pot smoke. When that low end hit, I levitated.

Sleep played a 4/19 show at the Ogden in 2015 where they came on really late so it would technically be a 4/20 show. I drank a 5-hr energy drink at 10 PM and I had to leave during Holy Mountain cuz I thought my heart was gonna explode. Good times.

If you'd turned in to Reverend Dan's "Lunch Brigade" this afternoon on KXLU, you would have heard gems like this version of the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" by Marty Gold. #1001CoverSongs Song # 114: youtu.be/MzhrmYDC2tY?...

'The Secret Lives Of Animals' on Apple TV has the most astounding wildlife footage I've ever seen. Kudos to the camera people. (The production teams get their due at the end of each episode with a 'making of' segment that shows the lengths they go to for each incredible shot.)

Got my tix for March!

Mickey with the Grand Royal shirt is very 1994.

Erin Andrews looks like she’s about to steal a fuckton of Dalmatians

John Cage, submitting the sheet music for "4'33"" to his publisher: What do you think? Publisher: No notes.

I can't think of an NFL playoff weekend that got off to a better start than the first three games of this one.

Enjoyed this interview with Hideki Ishima of Flower Travellin' Band. "We wanted to know if our music could do something to the world. It did. I think that it brings back the accumulation of time." I was lucky enough to see their reunion at SXSW '09. www.classicrockhistory.com/an-interview...

Every word, a stepping stone on an amazing journey.

Just finished Ted Kessler's "To Ease My Troubled Mind: The Authorised Unauthorised History of Billy Childish," which was an excellent in-bed-with-the-flu read, only to learn that there's a new Thee Headcoatees album! A U.S. tour is probably too much to hope for in 2026. youtu.be/qBUaqjAhRgg?...

Mr. Arcatin

I would read a novel about how this came to be abandoned in the rain.

I'm not great at year end lists but here's a first crack at one. These are all 2025 LPs I've bought on vinyl that have made this year better for us in some way. In alphabetical order 7"s and streaming lists to come (sometime)
