The only good car movie.

Laura, What the hell was the music video for the Sebadoh song “Ocean” about? Was it supposed to be making fun of Morrissey or something? Thanks, -Andy Sent from my iPhone Laura Crapo 8:46 PM (6 minutes ago) to me Hi Andy, Lou gave me carte blanche since he liked the thrush hermit french inhale video. It was choreographed and scripted and members from Six Finger Satellite cameo. We all had a lot of fun and laughed a lot.

Holy shit. I emailed the director of Sebadoh's music video "Ocean" to find out what the fuck it was about, and she emailed me back.

Make the fascist dork a trillionaire. I’m sure that’ll fix him.

2 CDs, giant lyric sheet and zine

Holy crap! Ordered one CD from the great Arrington de Dionyso via his Bandcamp page, and I was sent everything you see in the photo below. (earbuds for scale) Thank you! @arringtond.bsky.social

SweeTart Ropes packaging

Closeup of packaging showing an arrow pointing to the white inside the rope with the words “delicious fruity flavor”

SweeTart Ropes are bullshit. The “white” inside is just the same fruit flavor as the outside.

That doesn’t happen until the week before Xmas, Sherri. 😉 😂

There are two kinds of people: those who don’t mind movies with ambiguous endings and those who detest them.

My dream is that Dave Grohl decides to never sing again and just plays free jazz on a saxophone for the rest of his life.

Wishing my friend and creative collaborator Rachel from Des Moines (@therachel.bsky.social) the happiest of birthdays today! Hope your day is filled with great music and joy. You are the best, Rachel, and I’m so lucky to know you.❤️ 🎂

We’re tied up with their dayjobs this week, so as a Halloween treat, friend and fellow podcaster Josh Seybert asked his Uncle Morty to step into the breach with a review of Cecelia Condit’s horror musical short Possibly In Michigan

This was a ton of fun! Thanks Mary and Dennis for letting me do the show.

Happy birthday week to our own @therachel.bsky.social 🥳 This week on Chart Chat we get a mention of “You Light Up My Life” by Debby Boone, a song that annoys me for more than the usual reasons - namely, it beat out “Candle on the Water” from “Pete’s Dragon” as best song from the Oscars that year.

Have you heard the new ep? You know it’s time. 📆

Peaked on Any 11/05

💗💗💗Thanks Sherri! Here’s the playlist, I forgot to send it to Andy. ‘77 starts with You Light Up My Life and goes through Doctor Love. Lake should be on YT and maybe the other missing one too.

I forgot to mention, I also like the song “Watermelon Crawl” because it reminds me of Watermelon Day in Stanhope, Iowa, and for its anti-drunk driving message. (Country #4, Pop whatever # I said in the segment, I think #80)

I can't wait to listen to R.E.M.'s latest album, 'Ariana Grande Fragrances'!

😮

Donut shop Ariana Grande fails health inspection According to TMZ on Thursday, Wolfee Donuts, in Lake Elsinore, California was told one of the reasons for it not passing the check was down to 'customers licking donuts.'

Thank you, Sherri. No bumper stickers. It looks like a work truck that he takes home. Who knows what’s going on in that guy’s life. For all I know he could have a kid dying from cancer, you know what I mean? I’ve just rerouted the route we walk so I don’t even go by his house anymore.
