When @reiddossinger.com and @kevinalvir.bsky.social both coincidentally recommend the same band to you in the same week you listen. Sharp Pins is the nom de plume of a preternaturally talented Chicago indie kid (he of Lifeguard). Guided By Beatles? Yes please!

Once long ago I was listening to a Velvet Crush album & I thought to myself “more like this please”. That’s how learned that the guy from Lilac Time fronted Velvet Crush and made this spiritual cousin?! Now I have 2 faves! And when @petepaphides.bsky.social created his label I was like “I see you!”

The conclusive issue of this miniseries sucked the life out of me. The Garth Ennis story is daaa-aaark. I hear he likes it that way. The art is astounding.

I think a lot of the negative takes are confusing themes they wish she didn’t give in to (ie the punching down) w the actual craft on display; like or not these songs are inarguably impeccably crafted. She’s as sharp as ever. The melding of wordplay and meter is still characteristically wizard tier.

More anachronistic thing: buying a cd this am (it’s 2025) OR hearing Big Star’s “September Gurls” being played at Target whilst purchasing said cd (it’s October).

Not for nothing Taylor Swift still packages her 💿’s with jewel cases. Just one of the many reasons she rules.

Sports are so dumb, and then suddenly they make you feel like anything can happen in the world, and NOTHING feels like that anymore, and it is impossible to explain this to people who correctly state that sports are dumb.
