Used CD haul over the past few months

Mitski opening her tour with a surprise show at STARLAND BALLROOM, confirmed emo again

About to see this for the second time ever. I have only ever seen it in theaters

A whole song built around a "Dammit" interpolation on the new Hilary Duff album.... god bless

First favorite album of 2026

I got this on eBay & I’ve been slowly adding some of my favorite childhood cds I kept at my apartment & some new cds I got used… curating your own music experience… learning what your favorites really are when you don’t have all music streaming in front of you… highly recommended!

america could be such a cool fucking place if we’d just let it be

been watching a pirate stream of the Canadian broadcast & I feel bad for you guys… 90% less AI and crypto, entire ads that are just “i hope Sidney Crosby and the boys and the Canadian curling team do good”

I put Seahawks 27, Patriots 9 over on Twitter but it’s looking solid so you’ll just have to take my word on it

Every artist strives to reach the level where this can be your bio photo

Worth it just to watch Tyler during the clipse performance

So this new Noah Kahan that got its own 3 minute Mastercard commercial is basically an emo revival song

You’re not allowed to go used records shopping without taking a picture of this one

Deleting the new USA surveillance TikTok felt pretty damn good! If it’s making you click Accept the new terms of service before you can delete your account, just turn off WiFi/cellular data & then you can bypass it. Boom.

Join me for a video chat with the Springsteen Center For American Music about my book tonight at 7 eastern! springsteencenter.org/event/conver...

I got a new iPod and I got the only song I’ll ever need

What the hell was I up to in 2016

A month and 23 days of no fantasy sports or Learned League. Gonna fuck around and get some shit done

I went on BARDOWN BREAKDOWN to take yall behind the scenes of WHERE ARE YOUR BOYS TONIGHT. Also, HOCKEY. bardownbreakdown.com

Seeing a 2005 iPod with the album art from Waxahatchee's "Saint Cloud" .... that's the good shit

Fist pumped at the sight of this SLIPKNOT QUESTION in Learned League yesterday

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

I LIVE IN THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD AND WE HAVE A SOCIALIST MAYOR GO FUCK YAH SELF

A team led by Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin has the best record in the NHL, further proof millennials do not age

Great story from @tombreihan.bsky.social got me thinking about rock in the late 00s. Are Drake & Kendrick basically what bands like Green Day, Foo Fighters & MCR were for rock ~2008? The last A listers of a genre thats still producing cool young talent, but less & less for the Top 40 machine?

Found out in trivia last night "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" is a cover song?!?! Massively taken aback by this, cannot imagine anyone but They Might Be Giants making that song.

Orion Kerkering is now known for something besides sports’ greatest “that’s a star wars guy name” :(

Holy shit, my book Where Are Your Boys Tonight has earned out its advance! Earning royalties after publish helps a writer tremendously. THANK YOU to everyone who bought the book, bought the ebook, bought the audiobook, borrowed the book, downloaded it on Limewire, it all means so much. Thank you!

Oh my god I had so much fun doing this. THINK I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT LIFEHOUSE? THINK AGAIN

MCR we're doing this again in 2026! Also, Jimmy Eat World home town stadium show 🥹

Chappell is playing all of Midwest Princess on this run, plus the new singles and more, find a way to go, liquidate your assets, it’s worth it

woah chappell roan covers “barracuda” now huh

Goin to the chappell

If you were gonna wear a deftones shirt to Chappell roan this is definitely the one

Really astonishing to me that corporate America looked at Trump's re-election and decided that conservatism would be profitable for the foreseeable future

they SHOULD build statues of critics

I'm seeing Chappell Roan on Saturday in NYC and it feels like that "getting to see MCR on the Black Parade Tour" type rush... Maybe the last chance to see all/most of the songs on an instant classic album in real-time, before the next project, before the nostalgia.

Go get @chrisdeville.bsky.social’s awesome new book, which features (I think?) my first cover blurb!

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

You gotta hand it to em

"Some of the most extreme music ever to reach a mainstream audience" --- Slipknot self-titled's 25th anniversary deluxe edition is out today, I loved writing those words, from this cover story, which you can listen along to with all the new demos & alt mixes 👺 www.altpress.com/slipknot-25t...

Swift-Kelce wedding is gonna be on some Lena Dunham/OBJ Met Gala shit

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

trumpy, what DO you know? food, eating, the theater

See ya there Monday!

New Deftones album is out Friday & I wrote about what's in store for @stereogum.bsky.social. Year of the Snake.

Where were you when My Chemical Romance covered “Livin On a Prayer”???
