I don’t know what to believe anymore
It’s not Max. It’s HBO Max — again.

In a surprise pivot, Warner Bros. Discovery executives announced that the streaming service Max would be renamed HBO Max, reinstating the app’s old name and abandoning the change that the company introduced two years ago.
Max, Once Known as HBO Max, Is Calling Itself HBO Max Again. Got It?

It stresses me out that this platform is so similar to Threads, and it also stresses me out that the one that seems like the “better” option isn’t as popping as the other one, but most of all it stresses me out that these are things that stress me out

@seandammit.bsky.social Just checking out your 1995 episode... DAMN. Love this new format. It's the reason podcasts were invented 👊🏽 We did our '95 ep last week and it's interesting to compare and contrast your takes. 94 gets gets all the props but 95 is hip -hop's low-key best year. Yeah I said it

I know you’re not supposed to talk about these things, but…

I have never heard a U2 song that made me think

“I want to hear how the rest of this song plays out”

Let alone

“I want to hear multiple songs by this band in a row”

I guess I’m finding it hard to give a shit about anything award show related when all of THIS *gestures around at what is happening in the world* is afoot.

This is a MUST LISTEN for any serious Rap connoisseur. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

Social media really is something else because I actively, definitively did not want to go to NAMM and I’m still getting FOMO from seeing all the photos friends are posting 😂

Stevie Wonder “We Can Work It Out”
Forget the “white musicians cover Black musicians and making them more popular.” What are your favorite examples of Black musicians covering songs originally by white musicians?
For me:
-Tina Turner “Whole Lotta Love”
-Sharon Jones “Midnight Rider”
-Hendrix “All Along the Watchtower”
