Really proud of the “ice was all yellow, I call the chain Coldplay” fake Cam’ron lyric I made up
Incredibly funny to make fans wait years and years for a proper Clipse reunion and then when they finally drop a song this is the opening line

Thrilled to announce my first book/culmination of my life's work, FEELING NEGLECTED? - the story of 90s emo and the making of "the Midwest." My undying thanks to @atriabooks.bsky.social and Ethan Bassoff.

Hey, hey, hey…we gave y’all SLIGHTLY Stoopid, show some respect
Golden retriever-ass city. Would bark at its own ass for farting. Not a thought in that head.
San Diego is a fantastic place to be brainless.

“Not a care in the world” is the perfect San Diego state of mind.

Back on Bluesky to juice the greatest post I’ve seen on this site
Trying to listen to The Fall when you’ve already listened to 100 bands iterating on The Fall is like when basketball oldheads try to tell you that Bob Cousy was a problem. Mark E Smith was playing against plumbers

Damn, can’t believe I slept on doing a “Great Destroyer is actually my favorite Low album” blog. Truly slipping on my bits.
These albums by LCD Soundsystem, Bright Eyes, Low, the Chemical Brothers, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy & Matt Sweeney, Geto Boys, M83, and ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead turn 20 years old this weekend. 💿

Which is your fave?

Went long on the 20th anniversary of “Worlds Apart,” dumb smart guys and Trail of Dead’s place in the Good Bad Album canon

First tweet I ever sent was something in 2009 about building IKEA furniture. Today, I am building IKEA furniture. Circle of life.
