The Paley Brothers - Come Out And Play
YouTube video by DooWop Darrell
www.youtube.com
my name is Scotty and I've spent 20 years in love with the Power Pop genre. I'm going to post a #dailyFavoritePowerPopSong just to see how long i can go without running out.
Day 1: seems appropriate to start with the Paley Bros, since we lost Andy Paley this week.

Paul McCartney: Ob-la-di, Ob-la-did it Tour
As excited to see Paul McCartney tonight as I am repulsed by him calling his tour "Got Back."

So apparently the "remastered" version of the Beatles Anthology coming to Disney Plus this week are edited??
The original ABC miniseries was 3 eps, running about 6 hours (with commercials)
The VHS/laserdisc/DVD version was 8 eps running 70-80 minutes each
New version is 60 min per episode...

One day, some of the kids from the neighborhood carried my mother's groceries all the way home. You know why? It was outta respect, Charlie Brown.

this, but also, we're a nation of children-brained adults who think they have a unique hot take that everyone needs to hear when really they're really just lonely and want to be listened to, and this is an easy way to ruffle other children-brained adults into defending some weird idea of tradition
the “thanksgiving food is bad” discourse raises its ugly head every year, but the truth remains that thanksgiving food can be amazing as long as you know how to cook. the problem is we’re throwing a few million sunday drivers directly into a grand prix
I think this is unfair to turkey. turkey is good but hard to cook well because it is so damn big. turkey *parts* are great but lack the esthetic appeal of a centerpiece bird.

as an adult, the best way i can describe the feeling of being on 20mg of edibles is the same feeling i had while watching Michael Jackson's MOONWALKER as a kid: nothing makes sense, im not sure some things are actually happening, and for some reason, Joe Pesci is here screaming at me

I've watched MST3K consistently for almost 30 years and the only time I wished they would stop riffing so I could watch the movie was KITTEN WITH A WHIP
Which MST3K movie was actually the best *movie*? Which one has the most non-ironic fans and defenders.
Danger: Diabolique comes to mind (though certainly not the best of the Diabolique films). This Island Earth as well, since they had to pick something a bit more palatable for the theatrical film.

Greg Ginn hadn't done an interview in 13 years when I reached out. I figured he would say no, if he said anything at all. But after enlisting three Gen Z musicians to be in Black Flag with him, he decided it was time to talk. For @nytimes.com:

It feels so wild to give this impassioned and deeply personal argument for creating and supporting cottage artists.
It's even wilder for a bunch of men to insist that we're missing something from a craft they don't care about.
I've been thinking about this for 24 hours y'all, had to get it out.
