Ready for tomorrow 😎

i'm dj'ing this next week btw see you there

I like this a lot and my take I was explaining to some middle aged people the other night that the Gin Blossoms are a surprisingly big influence on young bands the past ten years still remains on point.

popping in to say: let's go mariners

Hi we put out another new song today “A Small Step” is about finding priorities and pockets of joy in a world that makes the idea of true personal freedom an impossibility. Striving to make a positive difference where you can, alongside folks you love. Listen: found.ee/g20Jsk

popping in to post a blog about seeing oasis acollectivefeeling.substack.com/p/because-we...

I wrote about the first Oasis concert on US soil since 2008

"I was young, and I was a liar, and I have never been as invincible as I was when both of those things were true." ICYMI, my newsletter this week about when McNuggets were cheap, an eating competition, and the beauty of failure.

new @brokenrecord.bsky.social jam sounds like the velvet teen with moar pedals... frenetic, riffy power-pop brokenrecord.bandcamp.com/track/t-60

Have you checked out our new song “T-60” yet? Here’s a handy link to listen on any streaming service: found.ee/6rdba

hey check it out, my friends are putting out a record. i helped but it's their record and you should listen to it/preorder it.

My debut book is OUT TODAY! 'Such Great Heights: The Complete Cultural History of the Indie Rock Explosion' is about how indie rock changed the mainstream and the mainstream changed indie rock in the 21st century. Buy it and let me know what you think:

simpsons line i say a lot without any care whether or not someone gets the reference: "yeah, eeeeeeverybody likes roller skatin'"

public opinion is very very good

lord forgive me but i've become a "backing into parking spaces" guy in a few scenarios

drank man please

Had a blast talking with ecstatic black metal superstars @agriculturemusic.bsky.social for @stereogum.bsky.social about all the many inspirations in music, queer literature, and art that influenced their amazing upcoming record The Spiritual Sound

filing the new militarie gun song into the "i'm not bowled over by this but if we have to have pop punk in 2025, i'm glad it sounds like this instead of more blink 182" cabinet

Make some zines!

i moved into a new house this weekend and im back to blogging. riffletter for 1990. maybe im feeling romantic about riffs since im dusting off the blogging muscles, maybe this was just an insanely fun year.

this algernon record is gonna be really good huh youtu.be/YgWklrkn5cA

the thing about The Naked Gun is that it's therapeutic for the soul and we, as a nation, deserve this treatment

i think bluesky gets a bad rap for the amount of scolding posters who don't get jokes but it is a constant over on twitter as well now

keep remembering i'm seeing weapons on thursday and thinking "wow it is so good to be alive"

We’re heading out on tour next week and we emptied the band account recording our new album (which comes out sooner than you might think) so we’re trying to clear the shelves to make a little gas money for the road! Today is Bandcamp Friday and anything you buy helps immensely

he wants to be jeff rosenstock so bad

Last week I was in London and I got to see the first show at Wembley on Oasis' triumphant reunion tour. It was the greatest stadium rock show I ever saw. I went long on why here. uproxx.com/indie/oasis-...

eugenio suárez welcome back to the seattle mariners i am begging you to get us over the line

just listened to "bodhisattva" by steely dan and am now old enough to realize "the shine of your Japan" is a funny joke

The second run of @fleshtape.bsky.social S/T LP tapes is now available! We went with gold colored cassettes for this new batch ✨ Grab your copy: fleshtape.bandcamp.com/album/flesh-...

scrolling social media just makes me feel like i'm closer to turning into this guy every single day

CAN'T BAN THE SNOWMAN. what a great record. tom hits the nail on the head: you feel bulletproof listening to TM101 and that was as novel as it was important in 2005

it's so funny that this dude blew it all up for under $500. couldn't have made the donation through an LLC or anything, had to personally donate for some reason. if the statement is to be believed, he'd have to be incredibly dumb, but the paper trail does support him being that dumb.

i'm moving out of d.c. next week and spent last weekend visiting a bunch of old punk shit i had been meaning to see while i lived here (and was joined by two beloved friends) on finding harDCore, d.c. music mythology, and a brick wall:

another one for GQ, took so much Billy Joel to the dome that i might never be the same. already got a nice email about this piece from someone with a boat towing company which feels right www.gq.com/story/hbos-b...

SO thrilled to share that I was asked by @thequietus.com to kick off a new column of scene reports across North America, and got to write on what makes the current Minneapolis/St. Paul underground music scene so exciting and powerful (with photography from @dj90shentai.bsky.social!)

wrote about Ozzy and metal and free for everyone

look at my governor dawg i'm never getting anything accomplished

spheeris getting ozzy to make breakfast in Decline 2 just like darby crash did in Decline 1 is why she's the goat
