I would be more content with this if I weren't still traumatized from the last time Joe Schoen had two top-10 picks and humiliated us

New York City is; hearing geese at sports bars. CAMERON WIBTER

I've only been in 2023. Highlights include me barely showing up on the cover for Chat Pile's live album and Deafheaven's George Clarke grabbing my face and letting me scream into the mic during "The Pecan Tree"

Really wanted to make Roadburn work this year for Oathbreaker and those two Cult of Luna sets, sad that it didn't. I also regret not going last year. I will see Oathbreaker in Toronto next month, so that's something to look forward to

Now why did my Haagse friend just text me a video of him watching Second Son of R. You know what that's gonna do to me, man!

Een hele nieuwe betekenis aan 'Tweede Zoon van R"

Every time I see this album in stores I lament what could have been if I just decided to be near the pit instead of chilling on the balcony the whole time. You can't even make out my face at all

that and playing Doves' Black and White Town is taking me back to the days when I felt like the only teenage American who loved these bands only for actual British people to lecture me on how popular (and seen as boring) they were back home. Jimi, Fran and Kelly are the least rockstar names

@wfuv.bsky.social playing Why Does It Always Rain on Me? after three straight 80 degree days is some lil cheekiness right there

Still thinking about these two grandpas at The Chameleons last night with the thickest Brooklyn Italian accents who were so annoyed at seeing younger people there. "If you weren't alive in the 80s, you didn't live through this music. You need to go back to school!"

They don't call me lightning fingers for no reason

People aren't grasping that while you can pay for exposure, you can't pay for "people liking that exposure". A PR bot can spam an endless array of tatted baddies dancing to Sleep Token into my reels, but I'm always going to think that band is hot garbage no matter what.

"interpol opening arena shows for sombr" is not a great start to the week TBQH

2.5 hour Current 93 set and 2 hour Cardiacs set? Aw, you shouldn't have.

2023: The Wedding Present clash at @primavera-sound.bsky.social with Kendrick Lamar
2025: The Wedding Present play MHOW at the same time as the Knicks Eastern Conference finals game 2
2026: Success!

That batflip, my lord.

The only thing problematic about Elias Iceage is that he gets to look like that and I can't trade faces with him

The Yankees have not been the "Evil Empire" in the 21st century, they've won nothing since 2009 and get routinely outspent by the Dodgers and Steve Cohen's very own Mets now! The Yankee brand is universal but they haven't been dominant since the Core Four years.

Plot twist

Tfw I don't give that Slayter album a 1.5 like I was expected to. Neurosis still needs to stay on top for the culture, though.

well now I can't not see it

No just individual band confirmations

No Cardiacs/Current 93 clash at Ciutat guaranteed... eating good, I say

The Braves lost Freddie Freeman at 1B to the Dodgers and then immediately replaced him with Matt Olson, but that still feels like it's underselling it, since Olson isn't on a first-ballot Hall of Fame track.

I've been trying to come up with a good sports-related analogy for Aaron Turner joining Neurosis. The Packers going from Favre to Aaron Rodgers at QB is pretty close, except Rodgers wasn't already established as an all-timer yet - he only became one later.

New York will always connect the threads of your life together because what do you mean you can just have a ONS with a stranger on a Tuesday night and then she tells you she was also at the PJ Harvey rainstorm Primavera 2024 set, but she hated it bc she didn't bring a raincoat and got soaked

Bit of Dutch #NBA history today if I'm correct: First time two Dutch players are starting on the same team with Leons and Post in the starting lineup for @warriorsofficial.bsky.social today against the Knicks. #SportAmerika

Dat moet kloppen. Blij dat Post en Leons meer kansen krijgen

ABS NOW.
