Just need you to know that I think about this skeet constantly (especially like last night when I couldn’t sleep)

I love that Bride of Frankenstein made her hot. Especially after the first one had the GALL to credit her as β€œMrs. Percy Shelley”!

What are some good Cave In riffs? I’ve never really listened to

Lucky! They did play a few songs off of WWDBTSES at the show I went to, including Dashboard, but not Little Motel

Post your own top 10 riffs! I’d love to discover something rad and new (to me)

Was Marr there? I saw them in NJ in 2010 so I’m guessing he was out by then but I hadn’t gotten into The Smiths yet so I wouldn’t have recognized him. Either way, a core memory for me too!

Mastodon is one of my favs so I’m sure I was debating whether to put Blood and Thunder or The Motherlode on the list

That one Modest Mouse album with Johnny Marr does not get nearly the respect it deserves

Randomly found this from almost 6 years ago. Pandemic boredom I guess but I still wouldn’t change much!

Not me over hear thinking about Art Spiegelman’s β€œDon’t Get Around Much Anymore” (1974) and β€œPeter Parker’s Apartment” (1981)…

β€œI’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English”

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

One of these days, people will look back on these sports betting ads like we do on the ads for patent medicines featuring cocaine.

Except it’s not performative, Kid Rock sucks on every level. He’s not just a shitty person with shitty politics, his music is genuinely awful

the performative hate that used to go to Nickelback should have always been directed towards Kid Rock

Maybe Liam is too wee yet for Spider-Verse, but I ❀️ Miles Morales and Nueva York is covered in snow too!

Much thanks to @julioanta.bsky.social for the translation so that I could include both spideys.

centuries pass and still it sings. what a gift it is, how time flattens under the weight of a practiced voice. how irreplaceable
