There’s a new Ireland tourism dvd that’s supposed to be nuts

This episode is really making me grapple with the fact that despite hearing these Bush songs countless times from the time my dad got this album when I was 2 to now at 34, I really did not ever stop to consider any of Gavin Rossdale's lyrics to these songs. Life-altering stuff.

Heavenly rewards, collective spirit Philadelphia

"Drake dropped three albums" Yeah but are they even really confusing and complicated to listen to on vinyl?

Temporary Secretary

New Strokes song is great for those of us who need a bathroom break at concerts sometimes.

At this point it's more newsworthy if The Mountain Goats don't have a new album on the way.

This is all obviously about skateboarding, but it's not purely for the skateboarder. It touches on early aughts anti-effort sentiment, disappearing from public eye pre-social media, commercialization of youth subculture and much, much more. Also skateboarding.

Are you feeling nostalgic for the year 2002? Were you too young or not even alive in 2002 to appreciate the culture we’re now recreating? Would you like to read 28 pages worth of essays on how one skate video personified the time & place? Get it here: brendanmenapace.bigcartel.com/product/Sorr...

Does Triumph the Insult Comic Dog’s accent have an origin story or is it kind of a Tommy Wiseau situation?

Mourinho is at home going full Wahlberg saying “if I was at that training ground it wouldn’t have gone down like it did.

Davey Havok arrives at the #MetGala

Don't care about this album but I love this piece!

I shrouded this write-up with Stand By Me-level youth friendship nostalgia that all of the people hating the album and my write-up about it can't do so with a clear conscience. Check and mate.

The @chilipeppers.bsky.social's blockbuster double album 'Stadium Arcadium' came out 20 years ago today. A look back...

For @stereogum.com I reflected on 20 years of "Stadium Arcadium," the supposedly unbreakable bonds of friendship from the safety of my own group, and taking something so seriously knowing that it's also just about the silliest thing in the world. This one means a lot stereogum.com/2497661/stad...

We already have a perfectly good film adaptation of The Odyssey and it came out in 2000

While there are still literally a couple print copies left for sale, I posted the digital version if anyone would like to read it immediately and without the need for shipping. brendanmenapace.bigcartel.com/product/Sorr...

Has your algorithm fed you Aaron Cote, the guy playing punk songs on steel pan? I know mine did. So I wanted to learn more about him. Cote has unrelenting passion for music - all music - and uses his posts and talents to bring some happiness to people. www.spinmagazine.com/2026/05/aaro...

A “Mad Men” spinoff with Paul called “Kinsey Knows Best”

Just once on Mad Men they should’ve made mention of an idiosyncratic British photographer they had heard about named Austin Powers.

brendanmenapace.bigcartel.com/product/sorr... Limited number of first batch on sale now. Will have more soon if demand is there!

If you ordered one of these, they'll be in the mail today. If you missed out and want one, I'll have the link back up and live once I get more in. Or I could put it back up now if you don't mind "preordering" like a cool bootleg T-shirt.

The Menzingers are consistent on levels not seen in Philadelphia since Jimmy Rollins

“You Think I Ain’t Worth a Dollar…” by QOTSA rocks so hard and then you remember it was in a T-Mobile commercial.

A while ago I said someone should do a 33 1/3-esque series about skate videos. Well, I did something like that. The first batch of "Sorry." zines - a collection of essays about the video, the people in it, and its place in culture - is in.

There's a song on this Kneecap album that sounds like when all the jellyfish have a party in Spongebob's house, but like if they were mad about the Bikini Bottom government being so tied to Israel.

Spotify is a lot like your parents. You listen to something one time and they're emailing you "Hey, your FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME is playing a show two hours away!"

The second-best Clash song imo

The second-best Clash song imo

For SPIN: I wrote about Harrisburg, the Clash, being excited to hear the Clash mention Harrisburg (because no band would ever mention Lower Allen Township where I’m really from), and of course Frankie Muniz, drummer of Kingsfoil. www.spinmagazine.com/2026/04/ever...

This would’ve sent me into a spiral at 14

Pretty sure I saw young Pope Leo at a Marietta show at ihop house in 2010

Absolutely genius. And no self-important vinyl box set.

Gonzo should be in the new Jackass movie

Arsenal/Atletico Madrid Champions League Semifinal

Honestly a little surprised that in the age of axe throwing etc., and with all of the commercialized millennial and gen X nostalgia, there are not more sanctioned Adult Capture the Flag/Manhunt leagues/facilities.

Guy Fieri slipping this in during the raging indie rock discourse like when Adam Schefter pops in amidst some atrocity with news of a lineman being traded to the Packers.

Soccer brain made me read this as “Graham Potter” and was confused

I think a lot of people on here getting mad about the Geese thing are the same people who put a lot of stock in bands/artists they like being "the best band/artist you've never heard of"

Geese's PR team harnessing the Streisand Effect by leaning into the backlash over their own practices to keep the band trending at all times

The headline: "Geese Goosed Up" was right there
