TFW rob harvilla notes Fishbone, George Clinton, & Living Colour as genre-bending Black artists & you realize they all guested on Lifesavas Movement's 2007 LP "Gutterfly" (+ Camp Lo, Smif-N-Wessun, Nas, others). Quannum Projects had clout & never get enough respect. youtube.com/watch?v=t2nVlL…

A man eats a biscuit and is forgiven. Oh Fargo.

Lukewarm take, but a hill I’ll die on: They Might be Giants’ 1994 album John Henry (their 1st w/ a full backing band) is one of the most criminally underrated LPs of all time. Whittle it down from 20 to 15 songs & it’s stone cold classics front to back. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

You gotta… The Hold Steady The Hold Steady #staypositive #theholdsteady

I like to imagine a universe where benjamin folds Five’s titular Uncle Walter, the The Hold Steady’s sketchy Criminal Fingers Walter, & and the octogenarian Walter who plays in the symphony with my wife are the same dude. Each version makes the others infinitely more intriguing.

I thought Neptuna’s voice would get on my nerves, but no. Best new Comedy Bang Bang character in a while! Also, right as someone mentioned Sprague the Whisperer, a pest control truck drove by me on the freeway with the company name “SPRAGUE” painted on the side. Creepy. 🫣

In KC for work & pulled up directions to walk from my hotel to a grocery store and it said it would take 10 minutes and I thought, is 10 minutes to downtown 10 minutes too far? I guess this is the universe telling me to listen to The Get Up Kids all week. youtu.be/SHWvg5fkBGg?si…

How is it possible that Me First and the Spike And The Gimme Gimmes haven’t recorded an album of yacht rock covers?
