I've been writing about music since 1990, interviewed hundreds of artists. But, the most meaningful conversation I've ever had was last week with Rocky Votolato and Ben Kweller. All three of us have lost children suddenly and unexpectedly.

It's the week before winter break, also known in our household as, the week of never-ending cookies and treats thanks to my wife's elementary school students.

Go into any resale store, they always have a dozen working DVD players for $20-30.
A (quite) young movie lover said to me recently, "Not everybody can afford a DVD player," and I said "How much do you think a DVD player costs?"

He said, "I don't know, like $500?"

Those of us who advocate physical media are maybe not doing the best job of messaging.

Instead of wasting time trolling for hate clicks on properly assessed trash, maybe write about great stuff that got overlooked.

Literally 10 of thousands of albums, TV shows, movies, etc. have been overlooked, underappreciated, never given a chance, etc. by mainstream audiences.

Instead, this.

RIP Mani. Iconic basslines. One of my faves from his time with Primal Scream. When that bass kicks in, that's an all-timer groove.

Saturday night with my wife started at the kitchen table building a new Lego set while we listened to a Beastie Boys CD. Moved to the couch, warmed up a Greek 5-Cheese spiral from Trader Joe's, and watched the first episode of Pluribus, which is one of the best first episodes I've ever seen. Wow.

Going to an Internet #2 that is human-only.
New from 404 Media: AI generated history videos are flooding YouTube, and drowning out real history. "It’s worrying to me just for humanity. It’s not good for the state of knowledge in the world. It makes me worry for the future."

Ever heard of Charm Farm? Their 1995 album Pervert is a glam-funk-industrial fever dream from Detroit that nearly broke Mercury Records’ brain.
We dig into this wild, forgotten experiment—where Prince meets T-Rex meets Nine Inch Nails. #90sRock
