The feeling when you're booking air travel for some new candidates and enter in their birthdate, see 1992 and think "wow, that's pretty young," and then the next candidates birthday is 2001.

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

Kicking off 2026 with a little heard 70s album.
We are moving to a new schedule for 2026, one album from the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s each month.
15 years focusing on 90s albums has been great, but the more we explore the deeper we want to go, while keeping the thread of the 90s at the forefront.

Robert Plant vocals. Jimmy Page guitar tones. Black Sabbath riffs.
This album had EVERYTHING except the one thing that mattered most. Is this the most frustrating “what if?” in 70s Rock? #heavy70s #protometal open.substack.com/pub/digmeout...

Jay Farrar of Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt has some head scratchers: creosote, machinations, caryatid, Pell-mell, carrion, stevedores, Chickamauga
Here's a question I've enjoyed asking on various social media platforms. What are vocabulary words you have learned from songs? For example, I learned the word "raze" from REM's World Leader Pretend.

Wife and 13yo daughter discussion this morning, no idea how it started:
W - In my school, a student stabbed a teacher as part of a gang initiation.
D - What does that mean?
W - The gang made them do it in order to join.
D - Wasn't there a good gang she could join that doesn't stab people?

Go into any resale store, they always have a dozen working DVD players for $20-30.
A (quite) young movie lover said to me recently, "Not everybody can afford a DVD player," and I said "How much do you think a DVD player costs?"
He said, "I don't know, like $500?"
Those of us who advocate physical media are maybe not doing the best job of messaging.
