Okay, but I just listened to Dave Matthews' 2003 solo album Some Devil for the first time last night and it’s really good so can I maybe a little?
don’t base your whole identity on a jamband that peaked in the 90s.

In The Number Ones, I’m reviewing every single #1 single in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, starting with the chart’s beginning, in 1958, and working my way up into the present. Book Bonus Beat:...

Returning to this after the news about Sam Rivers (RIP), and the answer was clear, whether or not you hated Fred Durst, Limp Bizkit had a fuckin rhythm section that couldn't be denied. Listening to "Re-Arranged" again and that bass line kills.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

Just watch Pet Sematary 2 (the one with Clancy Brown) instead. It’s not particularly good but it’s also the best one
hm? sorry, i was just thinking about how the latest adaptation of PET SEMATARY managed to fuck up one of King's best, most straightforward stories in the stupidest way possible, and how i wish the first PET SEMATARY movie was better, and also, this can't be an Arby's because that place burned down

Nuke Watch have a spacey weirdness that reminds me of some of the quieter moments from Black Dice, though this is a bit more organic. This is the kind of psychedelic music where, if people hear you listen to this, they'll think you know about drugs. Good thing it sounds great on headphones!

@shadowtodd.bsky.social I couldn't find a complete list of what you have in your Songs That Stop on the Word "STOP" collection, but I just wanted to check if the Dave Matthews Band's The Last Stop is in there. It does it twice!

This is one of the best pieces of film journalism I've ever read - full of history, science, and granular filmmaking process. A testament to what real research and human obsession can achieve, all to tell the story of how CHARLIE'S ANGELS got a bird wrong onscreen. Terrific read.
