There was an old dude singing karaoke in the parking lot at Target today, mostly Nickelback, wearing a 3 foot long chain wallet with a dagger on his belt. He took breaks to take a big swig of distilled water from a jug every minute or so.
Literally yesterday I talked about how good it feels that this place is still open! My friends took me to get vegan cheesesteaks for the 1st time in 1996 and I would return every time I was in SF. Such a bum out!
Here's a song I wrote for the new season of Yo Gabba GabbaLand, performed by Turnpike Troubadours. The demo had a swing rhythm, but they flipped it into a shuffle thing, which worked out great. (Super fun animation via Gasolina Studios)
I've been meaning to see how Bandcamp embeds work here, and this mythical recording feels like a nice opportunity.
p.s. please pay some amount of money to new/active artists (or not active ones donating to charity) for music on places like Bandcamp and use the streaming for old jazz and stuff
Two older dudes driving identical early 80s buttercream colored Mercedes Benz’s came across each other in the intersection today and started honking at each other in delight, in turn delighting me and many others waiting at the red light.
And the soundtrack is here on Apple Music and any other streaming service. Adding the show or album to your library is always a help...
The new season of Yo Gabba GabbaLand is out today on Apple TV. Feels weird promoting anything on any day lately... but here it is!
The 'Yo Gabba GabbaLand!' season 2 soundtrack is out now, with new music from Chvrches, Sharon Van Etten, Sleigh Bells, Hatchie, and many more
8 years ago I had my Apple ID hacked with that method where they run a program and sign your email address up for literally every mailing list in the world. It's actually been ok because I got signed up for some really interesting newsletters I wouldn't have known about otherwise ⛵
I would be so happy if the Rockford Files reboot breaks the 15 year long “it has to be dark and gritty” streak of TV reboots, but let’s face it…
I remember even at the time feeling like Bowie's death was the beginning of a general spiral downward of everything. Pretty bummed that feeling was right!

The dude is in the comments of every video saying something like "lol it's a joke people". Apparently none of it is real. Yes, Americans spend too much on cars that they also can't afford, but it's also disturbing to see so many people hammering away at this as if its real.
It's nice that Lemmy has one of the best/most badass statues ever
30 years ago today Campus Point at UCSB was the biggest I've ever seen. I paddled out after my last final of my first quarter in college. Thanks to this guy for posting the only video evidence on youtube 13 years ago.
In general, everything is pretty bad, which is why it's very important for dudes like Donny Benét to stick around and continue to bless us with bass and leather
This existence, this cursed planet, all of its billions of people clawing and screaming for a single moment of true happiness, is temporary. All is temporary, all must end eventually. Pass it on.
pass it on
Weird looking GUI of k-jofol, some mp3 player software that was around in 1999. Lime green, metallic gray, curvy and stuff.
This is the mp3 player I used in 1999 💾 "k-jofol"
My 3 1/2 year old walked by as I was looking at these photos and said "who are those bad Star Wars guys?"
No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,
it is right.
No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,
it is a strength.
No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,
it is unlimited.
Please stop me from liquidating my family's savings... An unreal collection of Florian Schneider's (Kraftwerk) stuff
Imagine turning on a TV and this is just on there.
In a studio in the valley in the 90s we would watch public access shows and one was Mr Morrison. It completely melted my mind. In pretty quick order I saw that show and discovered the electric blue suit in a thrift store, which was why there was ever a thing called Digital Unicorn
Larry Rippenkroeger 4-time world freestyle champion. Just warming up at Marine Stadium in Long Beach, 1989
I was reminded that professional freestyle jet skiing was a thing in the late 80s with figures such as Larry "The Ripper" Rippenkroeger
I saw two identical white Audi Q7s driving toward me and thought "that's weird", and then noticed they were being driven by identical twins and thought "oh sure, ok"
No one remembers who broke the boycott and performed at Sun City in South Africa in the 70s/80s, and there were basically zero consequences, so if any of these artists have managers over 50, they know that...
One of my favorite things in college was walking out of class, hearing music and thinking something like "why is there a toad the wet sprocket cover band playing?" and then it would turn out to be actual toad the wet sprocket
The fact that those nostalgia AI slop videos are 1:05 and the AI music track only 1:00, leaving 5 seconds of the most unsettling, soul crushing background silence... too much, man
