(Bono voice): This is a song Jonathan Demme stole from Tom Petty...
Tonight, we're stealing it back.

Stay strong Chicago, miss being there but not really right now. I hope for your sake you're the temporary distraction.

I'm happy with this tatty-covered £12 original press from @flashbacklondon.bsky.social
Fond millennium memories of many CD spins, their first post-ODB and last pre-9/11 LP. The guests all legends and I'm still very much pro-"Gravel Pit."

I know there's a lot worse villains in the world right now, but I'm really rooting for something embarrassing to happen to oasis on this pillaging-ass tour

Zydeco's ranking in my list of favorite musical genres is remarkably similar to its place alphabetically

Any of yr friends & neighbors who support ICE & think for a second the protesters or the people getting deported are remotely a threat to anybody's community comparable to the threat of these dunderheaded spineless coward monster energy drink bros should fuck directly off, & you should tell them so

Rogue One + Andor > original trilogy

Both Hawks and Magic have had success and felt themselves vs #Cavs in last couple seasons, so I conspiratorially wouldn't be surprised to see some small scale tanking in the first East #PlayIn game to dodge the Celtics.

So much of the #NBA this season has seemed to have been devised by the scheduling team on a weekend peyote retreat, but all 30 teams playing with 5 Western seeds TBD on the last day is a pretty watchable result... Enjoy it, childless #LeaguePass subscribers!

#NowPlaying: I know the consensus "classic run" of #StevieWonder albums begins with Music of My Mind in 72, but I think we can safely stretch it back to Signed Sealed in 70. Maybe not taken as seriously because of the corny cover or Obama associations? It opens with 4 absolute rippers, including...

Now maybe my recency bias is on full blast, but I finally saw Nickel Boys, and now I've got a #1 and 1A for my Best Picture Oscar vote, along with I'm Still Here.

I'm primarily programmed to process the world and its weirdness through film and plays, and so in These Terrible Times, my theoretical Best Picture Oscar vote unconditionally goes to I'm Still Here.

I don't encourage participation in #Whamageddon, in fact I had to pull out my own copy tonight to end my own at an unconscionable December 14th. Guess I haven't been going into enough Walgreens this year.

The captions on the credits of an episode of English Teacher just asserted that the background vocals on She Drives Me Crazy by Fine Young Cannibals go "She drives me crazy...CUCKOO ... Like no one else" and I'm outraged by how wrong that is, and that I didn't come up with it first

Dear Mr Altman,
Can we PLEASE bring back Larry Jr at the trade deadline to back up the bigs and bring vibes please?
Larry Nance JR returning to his homeland... with a "Cleveland Rockers" T-shirt aka our former WNBA franchise.

He supports Cleveland's bid for the future WNBA expansion franchise.

Te amo 🌹

There's a bunch of stuff from my fantasy hoops group text that would do well to define my online bon-motism...

"On a hateration note, trying to decide whether I'm experiencing greater schadenfreude for Joel Embiid or Drake at the moment... 🤔 🤔 🤔"

Here was my post election Facebook post I decided not to put into the world:

"Fuck Trump and personally fuck all your friends and relatives that have ever liked him."

Hey, glad so many are joining this cocktail party and that it's groovy for a few minutes... Not really sure how I want to use it yet, maybe I'll just copy paste some things I almost-posted other places, or shit I said on group texts I thought was funny
