Admittedly I haven't been following Of Monsters and Men for awhile but I've been digging the singles from their upcoming LP. Then they dropped a new 8-min track "Fruit Bat" last week and it has wrecked me. Just found this live performance of it and oh so beautiful: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXC6...

Weird and awesome album release day this Friday, Oct. 3: Thrice, Stay Inside, Rocket, Taylor Swift. Last big release day of the year as well I think?

Wild and surreal weekend seeing Poor Old Lu, the Prayer Chain, and Mortal. My high school senior self, who would have called them 3 of my top 5 fav bands of the time 30 years ago, wouldn’t believe it. “Bright Wings” with @dkthedrummer.bsky.social still feels like a dream!

New Fantastic Four film was fun, really enjoyed it. Best Marvel film of the last 5 (?) years maybe? I know the bar is low. But it was simple and direct and the 60's set pieces were terrific. Money well spent.

This is fun!
FINAL: Pistons 106, Clippers 97

Pistons showed they could win a shootout last night, could win a slugfest tonight. Jalen Duren flashing 7 fingers to the crowd - 7 wins in a row.

You were told people these days only want singles. No, Spotify wants singles. People want hour+ long music experiences. That can be a playlist, but that can also be an album.

"the single worst thing that's happened to music in my lifetime is spotify"

Could end the statement there ;)
the single worst thing that's happened to music in my lifetime is spotify and how they advertise a band's monthly listeners on their artist page

Just pre-ordered my first new record of 2025, "Patience, Moonbeam", from Great Grandpa! Their last record was my 2019 AOTY, so really excited. They have a lot of variants from @rfcrecords.bsky.social but I picked this one from their webstore:

Includes dozens of songs, including many (most?) that are not available on any other streaming service.

Frodus existed from 1993-1999 and briefly in 2009. Their current status is unknown. This site is run by an Artificial Intelligence Program.
