It appears that the softest spot in my fangirl heart is currently reserved for 5'7" northern Englishmen who area really into horror films.

Something about Reece hurling that sheep on Taskmaster took me back to Royston Vasey.

You don't really think about how heavy records are until you have to transport hundreds of them to a new location.

I grew up near the border. I’ve spent 43 years listening to blowhard right wing Americans go on and on and on about their freedom. Logically I know why none of them seem to care it’s under such threats right now. But man, it’s still a mindfuck to watch their hypocrisy exposed like this.

I’ve been getting a lot of IKEA hacks in my feeds on other platforms lately and some of them are intriguing, but some of them make me wonder why they didn’t just start from scratch.

I'm thinking "Gerry Anderson never fully considered the body horror implications of his own creation" could be applied to Joe90, too.

Jarvis Cocker has got to be in the running, right?

Tetsuya Endo dabbled in architectural drafting before going all in on wrestling. Daisuke Sasaki spent a year in construction before he decided that was not the life he wanted and trying wrestling. Somehow that seems perfect for those two.

I’m so glad my brother in law pushed for it, because Aaron and I were both sleeping on it. And I had no idea how much I still loved them until they were playing.

Like what do you mean Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's Howl is old enough to drink here? When did that happen? How?

The anniversary show was bloody great, though.

I've made peace with the fact that the beloved albums from my youth are turning 30 now.

But it turns out I'm struggling with the fact that albums from my early years as a music writer are turning 20.

I googled my name and hers to see if I could find any more info for this weirdness. I usually don’t click or even look at the AI summary but what the hell? The only part of this that’s true is that I did once write an article of celebrity stalkers for HuffPo Music Canada.

There is no avoiding it, apparently! Even if you don’t pay attention at all, some random AI slop will assign you an opinion.

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

People are allowed to wear shirts for fashion alone. I don’t get it, but I’m not the boss of them. It bums me out, though, because β€œhey, nice shirt. I love them!” was my one good talking to strangers line as an awkward autistic person and now it’s ruined.

I saw a woman in a Zombies shirt while I was running errands and listening to the Zonbies today. I almost said something, then chickened out because I didn’t want to be accused of being the rock t-shirt police if it was just a fashion choice on her part. (I wasn’t going to ask her to name 3 songs.)

Red Carpet Massacre isn’t a *great* album, but it’s got some good tracks and at least Duran Duran were taking risks and trying new things.

12 albums before the big break! It’s an impressive streak.

And the best innuendo about dicks was Phil Ellis's "you know," followed by Reece's outburst when no one was acknowledging it fast enough.

I'm not saying that there shouldn't be Taylor discourse, but I believe that my life is better because I have been to busy moving to see most of it. I now live in a lovely bubble where the biggest thing that happened in music this week is that Daisuke Sasaki's punk band made their streaming debut.

Oh man! And they just did not get what you were doing or why, I’m guessing.
