Sour Establishment Man

Precisely

Agreed. Oasis has incredibly stupid lyrics. They are also kind of perfect for Oasis songs. Van Halen, too. This is the nature of rock music.

intelligence is knowing that all advertisements are evil. wisdom is letting your deep-seated hatred for them dominate all aspects of your life

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

With you, I also did not know and would not have nommed. Disappointing.

Yeah. It's not bad by any means. I listened to it expecting to like it more than I did, tho.

Sorry Shamp, responded before I saw yr guess

REM Reveal, because I would expect I would nominate it, but it was honestly pretty boring. Generally a forgotten album?

FORMER NHL PLAYER DAVID BOOTH INJURED AFTER REFUSING TO WARM UP DUE TO PRIDE JERSEYS Thought this drama might amuse some people. So basically Fife Flyers of the Brittish league were supposed to wear pride jerseys for their game tonight. At the last minute they announced they were only wearing these for the warm ups due to objections from certain players, angering the local lgbt charity that had been invited and causing them walk out. 41 year old former NHL player David Booth refused to join the warm up due to the pride jerseys. David Booth then suffered a serious looking non contact injury within 5 minutes of the game that may end his career.

LMFAO

Nice list! I'm a little worried about Strange Little Girls (probably irrationally), so glad to see it on there.

If not hopefully a devastating first round exit, Moloko style.

No one could get to everything! That list is madness!

Which is what makes it fun

Merci! Trying to focus my listening time on some of the less favoured areas, lots of random albums sampled.

YouTube video by Short Attention Span SCTV ~ HIGH Q , 1977

Catherine O’Hara deserves praise for basically everything she ever did, but her work as Margaret Meehan in SCTV’s “High Q” is one of the funniest sketch comedy performances of all time.

On this date in 1815, John Strachan sent a letter to Thomas Jefferson arguing that the burning of Washington DC was a justifiable retaliation for American depredations during the War of 1812 including the occupation of York.

Okay, so for those of you who don't want to consume AI slop and listen to music via streaming services, sit back and buckle up because boy do I have a story for you... So to start things off, I've been a Spotify subscriber since forever (in addition to purchasing physical media). I've been hesitant

This can only mean one thing: They’ve selected a new Secretary of Homeland Security.

#3 Canadian indie (rock?) guy part 2 - Hawksley Workman in the middle of a strong three album run, you can tell he's a theater kid at heart, for better or worse.

Ashtray Rock

#2 Canadian indie rock guy part 1 - Joel Plaskett was in Thrush Hermit prior to starting the Joel Plaskett Emergency. If you haven't been grabbed by the time it gets to Fashionable People, it probably won't happen for you.

(or forgot, lol I am old)

Hadn't seen it there! Awesome, twice the exposure!

Seconding the Kofy Brown, really good

Vocal Studies and Uprock Narratives

Going to make a thread of some interesting albums from 2001 I haven't noticed being otherwise mentioned in the @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social discourse.

First, which I discovered only this morning, chill beats, layered sonics:

So good!

Listened to it on this recommendation, absolutely right - I liked the Nina Nastasia and I like this! A bit reminiscent of Julie Doiron, will nom

Listening to the Issa Bagayogo right now, great stuff, you've gained it another nom!

Antibalas was already on my list, hopefully it gets some attention too!
