Olivia! No! It's a psyop!

Taking the RRHOF Class of 2026 at Face Value Phil Collins, Oasis, Wu-Tang Clan, Luther Vandross, Joy Division/New Order all make their way into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, as does Gram Parsons.

My thoughts on the (very good) Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2026.

King Tuff: MOO Read Stephen Thomas Erlewine’s review of the album.

Over at @pitchfork.com, I review MOO, the terrific new album from King Tuff.

As somebody who has lived in the geek epicenter for many years, I will say that witnessing the Alamo Drafthouse be literally replaced by Rogan’s Comedy Mothership has been disarming.

Some of us are still happy to be part of the Tartan Horde.

I'm on the same page and also am finding I've run out of patience with the ambient Boomer nostalgia of '80s pop culture.

It's impossible to post something more perfect than Hotlegs.

That's good to hear.

“Buy Me A Condo” has been a favorite of mine for years, it’s one of the songs that converted me to the church of Al.

She knew that one too! And made the connection the original song which she heard in her music class.

Agreed, and I’m even more in awe that she heard “Eat It” with no knowledge of “Beat It” and absolutely loved it, even asking me to play it for her tonight. Never would’ve guessed he’d be an artist that not only endured but that he can be appreciated without knowing his points of reference.

That tender moment when your child discovers “Weird Al” Yankovic.

CSNY - (Arrowhead Pond) Anaheim,Ca 2.15.00 YouTube video by markit aneight

i thought "ah! a fan-shot video of a complete 2000 CSNY show?" and was not quite prepared for how it opened. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWIP...

Ahh...so they're another psyop! No wonder I like them so.

That is indeed fantastic, although I now have to come to terms with the fact that dads of the Strokes are not plumbers.

Bob Dylan didn't need any of those fancy stage names.

GTR, GTR (Arista). entirety of review: SHT.

this month is the 40th anniversary of the release of "GTR" (ill-fated supergroup w/Steves Howe and Hackett). which also means it's the 40th anniversary of this review of it, by JD Considine in Musician

A perfect single.

HR Pufnstuf motion picture soundtrack (Capitol, 1970)

Sid and Marty Krofft’s lysergic influence on the 1970s was infinitely more profound, long-lasting, and fucked-up than anything Timothy Leary or Ram Dass accomplished in the 1960s.

I’ve long suspected that the voting bloc just doesn’t care for Carey. Not sure if anything will change that.

It’s also amazing that Ed Sullivan hasn’t been inducted until now. Very happy that Jimmy Miller is also now part of the Hall.

They were the first act i checked off on my ballot but they always seemed like a longshot to me

My one experience with the QR Alamo was an abject disaster, not least because the theater’s WiFi blockers meant I could not access the menu even when I was on their home network.

Oasis, Phil Collins and Sade to Join Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Shocked that Sade made the cut, delighted that Gram Parsons is FINALLY in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/a...

True, and some of that was ambient noise in the 80s and beyond, helping reinforce the idea the good ol days were idyllic.

I also think you can't discount being raised on a diet of nostalgic media. Whether it's Spielberg, Stephen King or having oldies provide the soundtrack from everything from Goodfellas to Home Alone, romanticizing the past was commonplace.
