May be my favorite Beatles song. Can it be 1965 again?
Thanks Mr. Lennon😎

Happy Hearts of Fire day to those who celebrate! I talked to Beau Hill, Music Director of the movie and producer of the soundtrack, about months of chaos working on Bob Dylan's infamous flop

And I got an answer to the question we've all been asking: How much did Bob really know about Ratt?

Producer Beau Hill on Chaos and Confusion Making Bob Dylan's 'Hearts of Fire'

"Let's see if Bob can remember his instructions from fifteen seconds ago"

I saw him at an outdoor concert in East Lansing a year after American Recordings came out and his audience was still mostly old people and he didn’t play anything from his new album. Maybe “Delia.” It seems like it took until “Hurt” on American IV before young people caught on to his coolness.

I was talking about the Chicago NASCAR race to a bartender this summer who was saying that maybe it’s a good thing because it brings in a lot of different people who’ve only heard bad things about Chicago and maybe they’ll see that it’s actually really nice and not a war-ravaged hellhole. I dunno.

As I’ve noted via various reposts on here, Kaleb Horton has a memorial today down in SoCal; I regret for various reasons I could not attend. I think of him today, once more. This piece from earlier this year gained much attention after he died. It’s worth your time. Best to all attending.

2025, So Far

I wish I had a time machine so I could go back in time and talk to my dad in 1988, just before I was born, and tell him what it’s like to live in the future. I’d tell him all the amazing things that a...

From the sublime to the ridiculous.

@keithcaulfield.bsky.social Hi Keith! I know that weekly album sales first dipped below 5 million in the week ending May 30, 2010, and below 4 million in the week ending Aug. 24, 2014, but when did they fall below 3 million? Some time between 2015 and 2019 but when? Thanks.

Started watching the Lilith Fair doc and was amused that Hulu showed me an ad for “hims” as if the Man was telling me, Sure, you can watch this girly shit but don’t forget that the most important thing is your boner.

TiVo Stops Selling DVRs Marking The End Of An Era

In a seismic shift for the television industry, TiVo Corporation has quietly pulled the plug on its storied digital video recorder line, effectively ending an era that redefined how consumers interacted with broadcast content. As of early October 2025, the company’s official website has scrubbed all references to its hardware DVR products, including the once-revered […] The post TiVo Stops Selling DVRs Marking The End Of An Era appeared first on Cord Cutters News.

highland cattle have it figured out

Tom Cox @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 1d

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

as a person of being born in 1989 experience, i couldn’t help but weigh in on new taylor and why a certain millennial vibe about it has been bugging me…

www.ienjoymusic.net/taylor-swift...

taylor swift's 'Showgirl' is a generational fumble (football pun INTENDED)

I am a middle-of-the-road millennial, and increasingly I catch myself having more and more “we used to drink from the hose” moments. We used to take group photos and make silly faces — it wasn’t cool ...
