Blind blown by the first song played. Not sure how I was unaware of its existence.

Top 10 Favorite Albums of 2025
I spent the better part of this year so far catching up on stuff I may have overlooked & will never hear it all. A fool’s errand but well worth the effort. Still, my Top 10 largely remained unchanged except for going for Big Thief over McMurtry.

Tik Tok is good for something beyond the usual rage bait, underrated/overrated, etc. bullshit on occasion (which is more than I can say about BlueSky) such as leading me to this band & song thanks to @subpop.bsky.social’s account. This is from Hoopla, due May 1st.

Predictions were for 6-8”, we got roughly 19”. Not sure when the last time was that I saw this much snow. This is the beach so it’s even more of a rare event here.

First snow of the year. It started coming down just before 11 this AM. Not unusual in colder climes but not always the norm here on the coast of North Carolina.

Saddened to hear the great Parthenon Huxley has left us. When I 1st heard him in 1982 on WQDR I was 20 years old. At the time he was performing under the name Rick Rick. I was aware of local music but he was part of the orbit that led me to Let’s Active, the Connells, & R.E.M.

I’d never heard of exploding trees until @dbtph.bsky.social’s latest solo album where it’s one of two title tracks (the other being “Airplane Screams”). Backstory behind the song in Patterson’s own words from Magnet below as well as a link to the song.

Last night as I was trying to speak with a friend about some serious life issues they continued to look at and type on their phone. I just got off the phone with someone who is supposed to help me with a dire situation. The entire time I had to compete with other conversations they were having.
