How many people have said Schuylkill already?

As a native of Ohio and resident of two areas of PA. Some thoughts:

1. YES. THANK YOU. PITTSBURGH IS APPALACHIA

2. I need to see a more detailed map of where 55, 56, and 58 come together because that is a wildly transitional area and I need to know where they draw the lines

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

UPDATE: THE EAR HAS RELENTED

I guess I just had to publicly shame it on the internet

My left ear has been rebelling against my earbuds for the past few days and I don't understand why and I wish I knew how to make it cooperate

Bruh, that Agriculture album opener was a kick in the face I was not expecting let's goooo

Just Agriculture and Thrice for now

If they ever make the Hellboy story The Corpse into a movie, the song over the end credits should be Dead Man's Party based entirely on the line "walking with a dead man over my shoulder"

I kinda hate but also respect that you took a point I was going to make and made it better by making it funny

matt walsh's problem is he's trying to run white evangelical software on roman catholic hardware. many such cases.

Helms Deep - Chasing the Dragon

This shit rips. Need more power metal like this in my life

Coheed and Cambria's greatest accomplishment was getting emo kids to listen to prog

I had a weird dream a few nights ago and I've been trying to turn it into a story ever since because wrestling a surreal, 10 second fragment from my subconscious into a coherent plot is proving to be an effective distraction from the horrors

Just brilliant

Sept. 30 vs Oct. 1

I am not a horror fan, more of a horror appreciator. So why do I keep getting inspired to write horror fiction?

Torso is the guy from Possessor. It's different but it's got riffs

Year of the Cobra
Torso
Cosmic Reaper

I'm sure you've heard everything else I'd recommend

Do you like Country Ska?

The Mavericks: Back In Your Arms Again

My favorite album from each year I've been alive 1990-2024

(how does one make a grid like this?)

Also related, the new SME inspired me to check up on Slow Draw and I didn't realize he released something this year so I'm adding that to my backlog

Not sure of the order yet, but my own picks are:

Purity Ring
White Reaper
PeelingFlesh
Stone Machine Electric
Atomic Rule

Gonna see what the Geese hype is about

Metalsky has me adding Vintersorg, Paradox, and Cosmic Reaper

And Jeff Tweedy dropped a triple album I'll get to someday

one of my evergreen tweets went something like "every techbro tripped and fell into a swimming pool full of money and decided that made them a defining genius of world history"

As a person who was transported in station wagons and minivans as a kid, I hate the prevalence of crossover and 3-row SUVs. Beyond the lack of variety in the auto industry, a minivan is peak practical family transportation and people who avoid them because of social stigma need to grow the fuck up

If you are a straight, white, cisgender man, increase the amount of media and art you consume that's created by people who aren't straight, white, cisgender men. 1/3

The Tron album kinda feels like "music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross" but branded as NIN. Which, I kind of expected, but there are a couple bangers in there, and Trent sings on a few tracks, so there's that

Nine Inch Nails (Tron OST)
Igorrr
Castle Rat
Stoned Jesus
Many Eyes
The Best of the Worst
Sölicitör (if it ever shows up on Tidal)

Idk what I did, but my Daily Discovery on Tidal very suddenly went from punk, ska, and 90s alternative to 70s and 80s classic rock radio staples
