For real, the guy who spread Haitians eating pets stories does not get a say on what is or isn't racist. He is part of the problem.

Thinking about Tycho Brahe. About how he lost part of his nose in a duel after an argument about who was the superior mathematician; About how his pet elk died in a fall after drinking too much beer; About how he may have died from holding in his pee for too long. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_B...

The solution has gotta involve making fall tourism a less car and bus based activity. More events and more festivals, encourage sight seeing on our trail networks. Fewer people on roads doing no look 180 degree turns and fewer people driving 10 mph on dirt roads would go a long way

Maybe I've been living in Vermont for too long, but I also find the sweater hot

Dear Atlantic journalists. It's not the thought police, it's not the woke mob. The problem is you always have horrible opinions

Back in the 90s when neo-nazi skinheads were everywhere, people wore colored laces in their Doc Martens to signify which side they were on. Red meant nazi, one black one white meant anti-racist, blue meant neutral, and green meant you like frogs and were anti-fascist. Been thinking about that a lot.

Ok, I've got one more and then I gotta go outside and stare at the stars for an hour. Thank you for hangin' out tonight. Thank you to our sponsors Stone Leaf, Harpoon, and Long Trail. Be excellent. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Texas Sun was the more popular of the two EPs by Khruangbin and Leon Bridges. Listen to "Mariella," and then tell me which one was better. (Hint: It's this one). Video in comments, as always. #topjamsky #vinylsky

Literally, every time, I have to google how to spell khruangbin. This is Khruangbin and Leon Bridges, Texas Moon, on black vinyl

My default vibe these days is a little bit of country, a little bit of psychedelic rock. I've been listening to a lot of Mazzy Star these days. #topjamsky #vinylsky

In my younger days, I've had October fires for the purpose of seeing how high I could get the thermostat. That was 4 years ago.

Bill's Rad Vermont @billsradvermont.bsky.social · 3d

I have a modest home. There's always a risk when I have a fire in the wood stove in October that I accidentally get the indoor temperature up to 85 degrees.

I must have picked this one up around the time of the US pressing in 2012. Kinda surprised no one else has put out a re-press

The guitars on this one, especially, are otherworldly.

Same. I couldn't make up my mind tonight and this one jumped out while flipping through the Yo La Tengo section.

It's time to enjoy some jams, mothers and fathers.

This one goes out to the fascists: I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass.

It's an LP by Yo La Tengo. It's tongue in cheek. I, however, am still awaiting a reply from Stephen Miller on our no holds-barred, steel cage match. #topjamsky

You La Tengo, I'm Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass, 2xLP, black vinyl, first fire of fall in the wood stove in the back ground
