Are you telling me I’m at the mercy of a fell music lover’s whims for the next 2 hours and that might include things I know and love as well as tunes I didn’t know I need to hear? HELL YEA

Local independent radio is not only so good, it’s absolutely crucial

Besides these two and the actual old bay seasoned chips by the brand I forgot, so other crab chips exist

Daniel Bachman @danielbachman.bsky.social · Sep 5

I love the UTZ, but Route 11 might be the best crab chip out there. 🦀

A bay of rout 11 crab chips in a blu bag with a cartoon lookingcrab on the bottom.

Playing records on the Loso patio tonight from 9pm to 1am

portisheadcanon @thediscocat.bsky.social · Aug 14

I know it exists and the chances of me finding a copy in the wild is pretty low never the less we can dream

portisheadcanon @thediscocat.bsky.social · Aug 14

What if the former is my latter?

Remember kids Richmond is tbr New York of the east coast

laura "laura” cavegift @cavegift.bsky.social · Aug 13

basically every city over a million people has “the unique culture” of new york. richmond virginia is like new york

Leonid Baezhnev @rev-avocado.bsky.social · Aug 13

I mean you actually can't find the culture you can find in New York essentially anywhere else in the United States other than Los Angeles, and we have the advantage of being something other than a car-choked hellscape that's on fire two months a year.

What I really need to do is go back to Third more frequently. It’s always Dummy and S/T revisits

portisheadcanon @thediscocat.bsky.social · Aug 3

Yea

alexis simpson @amutepiggy.bsky.social · Aug 3

you guys ever revisit Portishead's Dummy and recall how that album is an absolute tour de force

The important thing is that someone read this string of words the way they’d listen to a record

Maggie Astor @maggieastor.bsky.social · Jul 17

"I never wrote a picture in my life" is certainly a string of words that can be put together

portisheadcanon @thediscocat.bsky.social · Jul 17

Why would anyone think that a Night Elf should sound like Luanne from King of The Hill doing a bad Irish accent?

Periodic reminder that if you like out of this world dance music than Star Creature Universal Vibrations are an absolute must! Take it from some one who’s been sleeping on too many of their releases lately
