Today's Thrift Haul™️

Being the Teenbeat Records head that I am, I keep wanting to refer to Chalamet's new movie as MARTY SUPREME MY MAN!

Reposting with correct spelling: Have somehow listened to two dozen albums set for release in early 2026. Even more surprising is that the majority of them are good-to-great.

How I'm walking out of 2025.

In lieu of a Best-of-the-Year list, here's an Every-Damn-Thing-We-Reviewed list! In the past four months we've reviewed more than 100 #vinyl reissues over at The Vinyl Cut. Read, and subscribe to get a front-row seat to the next 100.

Sales on antiracist books: who doesn't love a sale? @sunypress.bsky.social has 50% off right now on their new releases. Check them out! sunypress.edu

Finished this book this morning. Easy but good read. Not a lot I didn't already know although I had no idea about his older sister. Did feel at times like a promotion for ALMOST FAMOUS: THE MUSICAL. Worth borrowing from the library.

Me, reading your Bluesky feed.

Seriously...I'll mail this to you free of charge.

You know...I'll just say out loud what everyone's thinking: That Marty Supreme is a real sunuvabitch. #changemymind

Spent a glorious day on the couch watching movies, including the loopy-as-fuck Pet Shop Boys flick IT COULDN'T HAPPEN HERE and a rewatch of WITHNAIL & I. Now watching IT FOLLOWS for the first time. #filmsky

When I was on CNN's northeast desk, the first job at 6a every morning was to read the local papers. That guided some of what the massive CNN machine followed every day. When those papers die, CNN doesn't hire new regional reporters. What you get instead is more panel shows, more punditry.

Anybody need a 4k copy of SOUL? Sorting through my movies, I found out I have two of them.

Rewatching WITHNAIL & I and only just noticed that Monty put on makeup before trying to bugger Marwood.

My VERY stoned brother-in-law spent a good long while narrating his eating this evening. "So you take some of the meat, and then the potatoes, and add this sauce to it..."

The wife and I just sussed out that we got each other the same Christmas gift.

Don't know if this fits the bill but the fact that Joshua Clover knew who I was when I introduced myself one year at PopCon meant the world to me.

Spent some time listening to some recent mono reissues of John Coltrane albums and filed this report for @vinylcut.net www.vinylcut.net/review-john-...

Christmas Eve Thrift Haul™️

Here is a great starting point. The linked post specifically details dozens of such sources… bsky.app/profile/harm...

Thrifting was weak this morning but my buddy kicked me down this packet of Bowie fan club material from 1976

Gotta say what we're all thinking: PHANTASM IV: OBLIVION is the point where the film series really starts to take off.

awwww man - somehow I missed that Mick Abrahams had passed He may have been Jethro Tull original guitarist, but I love this freaking album, especially this track (and the great album art, too) rest easy, sir and thank you 🙏

Hyperbole, thy name is RR

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Huh...

Apparently I'm way behind the times w/r/t podcast vinyl.

And there you have it.

Too many sleeps between now and the start of spring training.

Its still wild to me that this is what the original DIE HARD marketing looked like because 20th Century Fox didn’t think Bruce Willis could sell an action movie.

Since I'm probably not gonna see anymore live music before the end of the year, here are the best shows I saw in 2025

If NewsHour boots David Brooks and needs another greying, bespectacled white dude to appear every week and say the dumbest shit, I am available.

Today's Film Recommendation Sub Pop reissued the second album by Seattle punk band The Gits. I highly recommended it over at @vinylcut.net, but if you are unfamiliar with the band, you'd do well to check out Kerri O'Kane's documentary about them and the tragedy that ended their rise. On Tubi.

Just purchased what is already my new favorite t-shirt

The vinyl reissue train is slowing down as we reach the end of 2025. We at @vinylcut.net still found some titles worth exploring. Dig... www.vinylcut.net/new-vinyl-re...

Today's Film Recommendation: been in a horror mood, so join me and check out BABY BLOOD, a French body horror movie wherein a creature inhabits the fetus of a pregnant woman and demands blood. It's wicked gross and wicked fun. Catch it on Hoopla or Kanopy. #filmsky

Today on @vinylcut.net, @nedl.bsky.social and I took Universal's Definitive Sound Series releases — one-step reissues of albums from Beck, R.E.M., Nat King Cole, and A Perfect Circle — for a spin. How did they stack up against other hi-fi vinyl releases? Read on. www.vinylcut.net/vinyl-review...
