Remember when everyone dismissed Beck as a one-hit wonder after they thought "Loser" was a gimmick? Then you went and listened to the rest of "Mellow Gold" and were like, "hold on, this guy is actually a genius?"
The primary reason to keep your physical CDs is because they have tickets stubs tucked in the cases that remind you of when you saw your favorite bands 24 years ago
It feels like two-thirds of all the posts now on LinkedIn are AI-generated "here are five things I learned" nonsense. Dude, I just want to know where my friends work so it's not awkward when I have to ask them.
A few years ago, I burned all 700 of my CDs to mp3, boxed them up, and stored them in the attic. Now my 22-year-old daughter wants all of them. Is this part of the "Gen Z getting back to physical media" phenomenon?
Fun fact: The Strokes came to Madison, Wisconsin in April of 2004 to promote their album "Room on Fire," and...the theater caught on fire
Trump is negotiating with himself over how much of the $10 billion lawsuit he filed against the IRS he will receive. This is just outright theft.

I know we’re all down on David Harbour for being a creepo to Lily Allen, but I’m watching DTF St. Louis, and man, can that guy act.
As the column argues!

For example: In 1997, Phil Collins, who is conservative, threatened to move out of England if Labour were elected. They were, and he moved to Switzerland. In 2005, Noel Gallagher urged: "Vote Labour. If you don't and the Tories get in, Phil is threatening to come back."
The funniest thing about this is that Noel Gallagher hates Phil Collins - he mocks him publicly anytime he can. And now they're being inducted together.
30 years of pickup lines:
1996: 'I have email.'
2000: 'I have a cell phone.'
2005: 'I have a blog.'
2012: 'I have a podcast.'
2026: 'I have a newsletter about my podcast I can email you on your cell phone.'

The fact that the national championship, free agency, the WNBA draft, and the beginning of the regular season all happen within about a month has to be excruciating for the players, but I have to admit, as a fan, it's pretty awesome
Coachella being on YouTube is wild because my options include watching FKA Twigs or a video on how to clean my stainless steel pan
Here comes the flood of "I've been a Catholic for three weeks, here's what the church really thinks" pieces
All the great minds were doing it at the time
That was TWELVE (12) years before!
This is, of course, completely insane, but in fairness, I would watch the shit out of a Netflix series about a crime-fighting pope
My year-over-year engagements on Twitter. Once Elon bought it...pfffft.
I was almost internet famous!
The Strokes take the Coachella stage at midnight ET, or about two hours past the bedtime of Strokes fans
By the time you can afford to go to Coachella you no longer know anyone performing
SNL last week: Jack Black/Jack White. SNL UK tonight: Jack Whitehall. SNL next week: Black Whitejack
