Is this place now better than Threads? Please advise.

Yo @magista.bsky.social and @joetee316.bsky.social, fuck this joint. Lez see ya back on Threads 👊🏻

Whoa

Liked for ‘elan,’ loved for truth, saved for posterity.

Better than I remember? Near impossible: I listen to this monthly and each time it presents as an unsurpassed masterpiece.

It’s probably one of the best pop albums of all time, right alongside MJ’s Bad. There is just so much dance in it, in every nook and corner.

Cool Metric haul. Too bad the Staind guy went Trump cuck.

The breath of Old Man Winter, my fellow traveller. You know his exhales well, I’m sure.

Hither and tither
This aperture roams
Through snow-pocked crests
And crystalline domes

Sunlight ignite
This icicle gleam’d home
In where winter’s still
Cradles us in heaven’s shone

✍🏼

A daystar missed
Occluded by maritime mist
Rouses me from this frostbound season’s slumber
With its vitamin’d silver kiss

I respect your game. I never got into these guys, and don’t think I’ll make progress now. But they really were iconic in the ‘goth black’ scene.

I played in a band that opened for them in 03 in Toronto and they were pleasant fellers.

That’s a sick shot. Imagine that buffet had the red plastic glasses stacked right by the silverware.

How incredible that would be.

Alright, time for conclusions: I’ve talked about this album a lot recently bc I got spanked so right n’ tan by Aghori that I had to go back and re-spec recent Pumps.

This is just a very good, very straightforward album with good songs and clean n’ lean production.

Great find.

Oh cool. I’ll check this out then. I’ve never gone past Wolves.

Ack. *Teat-time. Fuck!

Did I not get enough test-time as a babe that as a 40 year-old typos bend me out of shape?

Clearly.

But let me fix that shit and make up lost time.

Let’s keep it tight with one of the most colourful and composed rock albums since the fall of Napoleon.

Why this album doesn’t have university courses—nay, majors—dedicated to it is one of the 21st century’s biggest geopolitical tragedies.

This is one of the best albums I’ve heard in years. No joke. It is so, so, so good: composed and beautiful and soft and anthemic.

Not a full-out Pumps stan. But fuck if this album won’t make me one.

*Eek. Minus the ‘faux’ 😊

How odd. All that together is exactly the Sarshy I always thought you were.

✊🏻

I can smell the Doc Martens in this album.

The lack of an edit button is a serious oversight. Then up the character count and I’m yours forever.

Pro tip: the remaster is esensh. He guitars are opened right up.

When albums are this special I never know where to begin. So let’s start where I did the last three dozen times I brought this up: track 1.

What a fucking clinic. And then to get spanked with deep cuts like Faultline, Leave Me Out, Cicada and Findaway.

Aye yae yae.

Nirvana’s Unplugged also proved that Cobain can actually sing.

Sure, no one pulls off the upper-octave distortion in the chorus of Teen Spirit without chops.

But the bro could spit pitches like a boss, but Unplugged demonstrated that with aplomb for the normies out there.

Great album. The sound of chill.

One of the greatest albums ever written. Embarrassed to say it didn’t cross my desk until my late twenties.

Let’s start the day with something a bit fun.

Fuckin guy over here specs Nirvana at the peak July 93 New Music Seminar show in NYC where they debut deep In Utero cuts like Milk It.

Where I come from that’s enough to share family vacations. Tell the kids they’re bunkin with Unky ‘stemic this July 4.

Herr @jameselliker.bsky.social and I were conferring about this in a Special Session in ‘24. Our take—brace yourself—was that AIC’s Unplugged takes the mantle.

But.

Your missive here without a doubt promotes you to SuperMoot status. ✊🏻

Missed me some Magista 🤛🏻
