What's the least fuss way to sell records IRL? Flea markets? Yard sales? Record fairs? Rent space in a local vintage or book shop? Genuinely want to know if anyone has any ideas or experience here

"I'm going back to New York City/I do believe I've had enough." Not really, but man, feeling this sentiment hard today.

Tapers: Anyone record the Chicago Silkworm shows? Need the goods!

Temu is selling Martin D-45 copies for like $250 and I’m almost tempted to order one

Got my piano tuned today. Still need to get my clock cleaned, however

These somewhat expensive Stereolab tickets I just bought are going to fix me

Haven't had a decent sci-fi TV show in a while, so I'm glad Alien Earth exists

Oh hell yea

The guy who told me to drink bleach now says to avoid Tylenol, so I don't know what to think

Lovely set tonight in Taos by Oakland’s own Hectorine

Ok, serious question: assuming you can detach intelligence from ethics/morals, who's the smartest person in the MAGA inner circle? It's gotta be Usha Vance, right?

Cruising out to Echo Amphitheater in Abiquiu today for the drone/experimental show

Curtis Yarvin and his philosophy, the Dork Enlightenment

The mighty @karenattiah.bsky.social joins THE LEFT HOOK at 4:15 pm ET. She was fired from the Washington Post for apparently offending the Great Leader and his MAGA cult for not appropriately praising Charlie Kirk...or something. Regardless, she ain't going out quietly. Thelefthook.substack.com

On X, the MAGA lieutenants and their media shills are stuck on loop reposting each other while getting ratioed by nearly everyone else. It's crumbling, folks!

It's my favorite time of the year: tarantula mating season

Great unreleased Heartbreakers tune. Guitar tones for days.

Put it on our tombstones

I didn't flip for The War on Drugs (the band) in the 2000s and 2010s, but in retrospect, it was very cool that a band could get that far in the industry mining 80s Dylan, Petty, and Bruce Hornsby. Would like to hear more of that sound from current artists

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Have fun with Gutfield, losers

Good stuff

Dream guitar tones

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

There are very few records as good as this one

It's hard to point to one definitive studio LP by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. The lengthy live anthologies and outtakes/rarities compilations tell the complete story much better

Rest in power

Excellent book that escapes most of the rock n roll memoir cliches

Curtis Yarvin is a shitty essayist and an even worse poet graymirror.substack.com/p/26-million...

Jeff Lynne on why you shouldn’t rely on slap echo to improve a vocal: “If the track doesn’t already sound great, why would you want to hear it again 64 milliseconds later?”

This is a fantastic cheapo LP. A Nashville pro who hired Clarence White to B bend his way through a set of mostly hip country rock songs. Lowell George, Jackson Browne, etc. Like what you want the New Riders to be. So successful that it got him dropped by his label. Tin eared dorks.

"Can in-laws be outlaws?" LOL. David Lerner is one committed country music freak. This month, he's broadcasting from Oklahoma City while on a visit to see the parents-in-law, but that hasn't stopped him from beaming in a true shit-kicker of a show. Lerner = Lifer. Do it. Link in comments.👇

The willful stupidity, the lies, the hermeneutics of obtuseness: all of it indicates the fragility of the MAGA worldview. Even on X, the idiots are getting ratioed. I'm no optimist but it feels like an inflection point.

Happy birthday to Anne! Flip someone the bird today in her honor

Friendship was great. Not sure what it is exactly that makes Tim Robinson so damn funny
