media always talking about disaffected young men... what about affected young men

the social media era is such a weird cycle of things being discovered and then known and then forgotten and then (re) discovered and then known and then forgotten and this just repeating endlessly

Yeah this feels like that classic category confusion of “songs that I remember hearing a lot” with “songs that were good”

It Was One of My Favorite Shows of the 2010s. Now It’s Back With a Big-Budget Movie. Netflix’s hit gangster series was great precisely because it never tried to be The Sopranos. The Immortal Man doesn’t either.

i wrote about peaky blinders and the new movie, which is entertaining but ultimately kind of unsatisfying

replying to every political email I get from Steve Kerr with a 3-1 lead meme

the best led zeppelin lyric is the bit about the church in "hey hey what can I do." the second best is rhyming "breakdown" with "breakdown" on "communication breakdown"

Thanks Laura!

trying to imagine BLONDE ON BLONDE if bob had been totally ripped. like if he had a live-in nutritionalist and personal trainer

Paul McCartney Is One of the Most Important Artists in Rock History. He Was Also One of the Most Controversial. The great new documentary about the virtuosic Beatle rehabilitates two different figures.

i hope it's just the incredibly annoying ad campaign but THE BRIDE looks waayyyyyy too joker. never ever ever go joker

yeah it's an era that is fascinating for personal reasons that obviously baz (& by extension elvis inc.) won't explore honestly, so instead they are trying to convince everyone that it's an important era for artistic reasons, which is just bizarre

I thought about watching/writing about this movie and then decided that it would probably be too stupid, glad to read my suspicions are vindicated

WUTHERING HEIGHTS (2026) www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LLb...

it's like a moment in a john wick movie where he shoots one guy through another guy but it's coldplay and john mayer

phenomenal nile rodgers interview here, so much going on in this paragraph www.vulture.com/article/nile...

"can't do it sally" has to be one of the coldest line readings in film history. RIP to one of the greatest www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFqg...

shouldn't expect more from someone still obsessed with "cancel culture" in 2026 but this is just staggeringly ill-informed. wilson was absolutely exceptionally racist by the standards of his day, it's all over the historical record. even many of his present-day defenders concede this! read a book

“Nothing but Trouble” (1991)
“Mother!” (2017)

I think my favorite critique of the BB halftime show booking was "the players don't even listen to him!" which a) is almost certainly untrue and b) presumes that a whole bunch of dudes on, say, the 2009 saints were huge fans of the who

Imagine if Bad Bunny came out and just did a whole set of CCR covers in a flawless Fogerty fake-Cajun accent

yeah it's usually just a way of complaining that something (usually new) reminds you of other things that you like more, which is really just a symptom of getting old

I think what i've come around to w/ cole is that if you always felt like his stuff was boring and derivative (as I did) then you also weren't really the intended audience for it (too old, too jaded). it reminds me some of the way older people used to complain about the strokes when I was younger

weirdly comforting that we're doing j cole discourse once more... you can always go home again

the people who are outraged over bad bunny are not worth engaging, they don't know anything about him and don't want to learn anything about him, they just need to be mad at whatever right-wing media tells them to be mad at because they've forgotten any other way to live their lives

oooh that looks cool

never really thought about it much before but gnr's and nirvana's career trajectories aren't totally dissimilar either. although obviously the sunset strip scene was already a national powerhouse before gnr broke out of it

"the spaghetti incident?"-- truly one of the weirdest and most quixotic projects a band that huge has ever undertaken-- still went platinum in 1993!
