Hall of Fame blunt rotation

I know this wasn’t your intention but now I desperately want a Twin Peaks themed Animal Crossing-like

February 2026 Listening by Zach Hoskins on Apple Music Playlist · 14 Songs

Listened to less albums in February than January. Here are the highlights music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Same!!!!! 41 years on the planet, conscious of both movies for at least 35, had no fucking idea

2026 Concert No. 2: Joey Valence and Brae at 9:30 Club. Super fun show/crowd, and we weren’t even the oldest people there (though it was close)!

Decided to resuscitate my (other) comatose Bluesky account with a thread revisiting Prince’s second-to-last studio album, which is still among my least favorites but maybe more interesting on an intellectual level than I gave it credit for

Listening to Hours again after reading @bowiesongs.bsky.social’s chapter on it and it’s as I suspected/feared: I like this way more at 41 than I did at however old I was the last time I gave it a chance

Watching Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and Jojo just told the bad guy to “drown in the sea of history,” shit’s cold af

January 2026 Listening by Zach Hoskins on Apple Music Playlist · 25 Songs

Trying one again this year to keep some kind of record of the music I listen to (we’ll see how long I can keep it up!) Anyway, here’s a playlist of what I was listening to in January. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

First concert of 2026 on the books! First time seeing Nine Inch Nails. Great show, and some of the most interesting stage design I’ve seen since Kendrick’s Damn tour.

Probably my favorite photo of Joe Walsh eating corn and mashed potatoes

I know Running Gun Blues isn’t a well regarded Bowie cut but I’m just realizing it kind of invented the Viagra Boys

Good morning from my spam folder

With Bardot's passing, the only named individuals in Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire that are still alive are Bob Dylan, Chubby Checker, and Bernie Goetz. The last one standing will claim The Prize.

Pleasantly surprised by how much “Dirtbag Wings” they allowed on the new comp (Hi Hi Hi, Junior’s Farm, Helen Wheels et al.)

I shan’t be sharing it (and this is the last year I’ll actually have one), but I checked my S****** W****** out of morbid curiosity to see my “listening age” and it was even older than I predicted 😬😬😬

Glad to see others talking about this. Some of those 1964 performance scenes looked like clips from Beatles Rock Band on the Wii! Guess my impatience paid off when I bought a second-hand DVD set after watching Get Back

Wow I do NOT like the AI upscaling in the Beatles Anthology remaster

Hey, there were dozens of us!

Literally became a Beatles obsessive because of Anthology when I was 10 (though my best friend who’d been Beatle-pilled earlier greased the wheels). You’re right that it isn’t a generational trait exactly but I do think we were well positioned to reap the benefits of older culture

I know complaining about social media is passe but pretty much every day on here I read a hot take so smug I should be owed reparations

The argument against just seems like “young people bad”

To the point that Debra straight-up cops the hook from Win!

As a lifelong catalogue music sicko, it’s tiresome and I’m consistently shocked by how many “legit” music critics are eager to toss past culture into the wastebin. Like I get that nostalgia is a regressive impulse, but is the best alternative really treating art as a capitalist parade of novelty?

There are probably other Prince eras I would give the slightest edge to musically, but this is the one I feel most aligned with philosophically. Looking forward to reading your full take on it!!

Anyway, here’s a video I took of Geese playing TV Eye and the kids going absolutely nuts for it (as they should)

I’m 41 and so many of the shows I go to are full of jaded old dudes with their arms crossed. Being in proximity to exuberant youth made me feel like an elder statesman, but also took me back to when I was 18 seeing the White Stripes for the first time.

Went to see Geese last night and it warmed my heart how much (and I mean this affectionately) first concert-ass behavior was going on. Singing whole songs back at the band. Crowd surfing starting three songs in, with hearty applause after each surfer. A rapturous reception for the opening act (!!)

It's Neil Young's birthday so today we celebrate his incredible music and his long prolific career and we overlook the weird Jamaican accent he uses on part of "Cortez the Killer" on the Live Rust album.

I don't have an informed opinion on that new Wuthering Heights movie but kicking off the soundtrack with a Charli XCX/John Cale collab feels micro-targeted to my household specifically
