I had never heard of the "Backrooms" before. After falling into a rabbit hole of learning what it is, life feels a little different now.

#CDFriday
Every CD should open up like the Room 237 Soundtrack.

I own 5 different variations of tge album "The Soft Bulletin" and they are essential to me.

"And they all want Sunchips!"

Sitting in a Bruegger's Bagels for an abnormaly long time waiting for a place to buy music to open.

New albums tomorrow from Mitski, Iron & Wine, Gorillaz, and Bill Callahan. My indie rock heart is happy.

Benjamin: What are you gonna do, Mr. Simpson?
Homer: Actually, I've been working on a plan. During the exam, I'll hide under some coats, and hope that somehow everything will work out.
Benjamin: Or with our help you can cram like you've never crammed before!
Homer: Whatever, either way is good.

Whitney Houston - "I Will Always Love You"

Underrated.

That Sun Ra album is on my wantlist. I go to record stores all the time and I've never seen in the wild. Sun Ra albums are a little tough to come by anyway, but someday I'll find it. I do have that single 3 CD set which has the song, but I want to find the original album.

#CDFriday A+ sound in the car.

Yes, I'm back in. Thanks so much!

I had trouble logging into my @discogsofficial.bsky.social app today for 5 minutes and my whole life flashed before my eyes.

Post a banger that’s not in English.

Autographed CDs are the best CDs. #CDFriday

I hesitate to say this because I want it all to myself. This is brand new and it is amazing.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

YouTube video by Billy Bragg BILLY BRAGG - CITY OF HEROES

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

CNN journalist in Minneapolis just said they were reporting from inside a “pathway”

I might have to subscribe just to fix this. I've been thinking about it for 23 years.

That was a phenomenal review! Really insightful analysis of the context behind the album, the cultural significance, and thorough deep dive appreciation of the music. Thank you for all the work put into that. Loved reading it.

That's rough. I'll probably still pick it up. That's cool you at least got it early. Maybe in a few years Criterion will put out.

Any bonus features on that one?
