Ashamed to admit that I spent most of the morning planning my day around a non-existent schedule for the replay of a couple Coachella sets I missed from yesterday only to discover that I could just rewind the YouTube video.
Anywho, chores are on pause for Kacey Musgraves' set!
Also, @nuthousepunks.bsky.social I once had an acquaintance tell me that he wanted to start a band that was "Refused meets Lucero meets Franz Ferdinand" which seemed on par to that joke that hit you so hard in Pizza Movie. And, yes... He was totally serious when he told me that.
To answer this week's question to the listeners... The *BEST* pizza I ever had? I don't think so, BUT very memorable to get Little Caesars from the source *in* Detroit. Also, thankfully unlike my childhood, this order didn't take up the entire backseat of the car... #PizzaPizza #PanPan

I think we all know the right answer...
Lady at IKEA said "Well, would __child's name__ prefer a Punch Monkey -"
I not knowing there would be an "or" blurted, Monkey
"-or an otter?"
This will be me, the rest of the day...
“And hard times are when a man has worked at a job for thirty years, THIRTY YEARS, and they give him a watch, kick him in the butt, and say, “Hey, a computer took your place, daddy!” That’s hard times. THAT’S HARD TIMES.”

I knew I didn't have to tag either of them cause I knew @nuthousepunks.bsky.social and @thephilkellum.bsky.social had my back on this one!
Hey @harvilla.bsky.social - regarding a recent episode of the pod... I know we don't know each other but I can confirm you *did* see Tha Alkaholiks play before Rocket From The Crypt at a Warped Tour.
I kinda forgot how much of a bop that song is.
If we were there together, we woulda been menaces!
Big ups to whoever was in charge of music at Lowe's yesterday.
Starship: We Built This City ➡️ Abba: Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) ➡️ Londonbeat: I've been Thinkin' About You. 👨🍳🤌
To the clerk that caught me singing along to Starship? Hope you enjoyed the free show! 😘
I was at one of those Monster shows too!! Also my first time seeing them. Tragically, I only got to see them twice-2nd time being on the Up Tour at Starlight.

For being the most influential artist in my life, I sure have been neglecting them.
Let's spend some time with this classic!

Chad Price Smile Sweet Face album on a record player
Well, hey there! Haven't spun this one in ages. Heck of a resume including ALL, Drag the River, and more! One hell of a songwriter.

*Yes, that was marketed as "whiskey" colored vinyl.
*Suburban Home was a crucial label. Real bummed it ended with a bunch of drama.
Get Up Kids Album "On A Wire" album cover and vinyl
Ah, one of my favorite TGUK albums. The backlash they suffered when it came out was a bummer, for sure. Seems some of the fanbase wasn't ready for such a departure in sound.
*All the Vagrant really detracts from Travis Millard's fantastic album cover.

Jack's Mannequin album "Everything In Transit" blue vinyl and cover
While mostly unaware of their output, these dudes-and Andrew's groups-were always a delight to work with when they visited any of the venues I worked at. I only had one of their other albums for the longest time and then finally deep dove them.

Album cover of Dan Andriano In the Emergency Room: Party Adjacent.
After going a little harder than planned on the chores and the weekend punch list, it's time to chill out! Lets #RecordNight, shall we?
First up: Dan Andriano In The Emergency Room/Party Adjacent
I'm always on an Alkaline Trio kick, and Dan songs never miss. Stoked he put out a couple solo albums!

Almighty Dog,
If it's time for me to quit my job and follow a new path, give me a sign...

Ope. 🦊❤️
Well, I saw the leak of the new Royals City Connect jersey... Can't wait to hear everyone's anger about it. I kinda like it, but cotton candy blue and pink is a solid color combo in my eyes!
It also seemed like a really tight-knit crew and a band of super nice folks-obvs, I didn't base my touring choices off of the band's popularity-I distinctly remember the eruption when they hit the stage on the first show I saw them at in Pomona. The crowd in front of that stage went absolutely nuts

He doesn't know it, but @harvilla.bsky.social is a stellar running buddy!
Side note, I was on that Warped tour he mentions and saw those Paramore sets-wish I was better at networking, I desperately wanted to work for them-it was clear they had a rocket strapped to them and were going to be huge.
It's like 8:00am... on one block, there's a line at the liquor store... On the next, there's a buncha dudes waiting for the bait shop to open.
Sunday Funday, am I right?!
My neighborhood is wacky AF.
PS: to those that didn't know, apologies for you having to find out this way.
I did NOT want to be the messenger of this breaking news.
it's been a minute since @darkhumorgirl.bsky.social has seen me as shook as I was today. The cause of my panic? The shopkeep at the Legends Converse Outlet breaking the news to me that they're locking up for good tomorrow.This is the second Converse outlet to leave me-it never gets easier to accept.
Totally understood!
I like both so I will proceed accordingly!
Appreciate the response!
A fennec fox looking like the happiest thing on earth!

Same! Closest I get is seeing the trio at the zoo... Maybe someday!
To clarify, I was looking into the legalities of bringing one or two of those lil guys into the house and if it was an option... Still need to look into whether or not a Red Panda falls under the same laws...
Interested to look further into this. I know Kansas does NOT allow me to house a Fennec Fox.... 😢
Question: if I ordered the vinyl via the red scare website, do I get access to a download or do I need to purchase separately via one of the links?
Entirely possible that "Oh, I wasn't rooting for the USA in the World Baseball Classic" wasn't the best thing to say on a work Teams call.
Ah well, I stand by my stance.
Vamos Venezuela!! 🇻🇪
