Jeez Reid…admit to liking ConvoHearts and catch a subtweet stray…THANKS! ;)

Gonna put Conversation Hearts on my list of holiday-specific candy that gets a bad rap but actually rules. Where my candy heads at?

Brittle Stars, by Brittle Stars 10 track album

Second wave: brittlestars.bandcamp.com/album/brittl...

¡Simpatico! (Remastered and Expanded), by Velocity Girl 20 track album

First wave: velocitygirl.bandcamp.com/album/simpat...

Something kinda accidentally perfect about these two records getting re-released on the same day as they are…simpatically (made up word?) exemplary specimens of what I’d call respectively first wave and second wave US indie pop.

And they’ve gone and done it! Amazing how many great albums they’ve amassed. Last year’s in fact was true gem, a career highlight!

What a perfect week to finally read the first trade of Absolute Wonder Woman, as this week’s Annual picks up right where its last arc ends. Diana course corrects some Greek Mythology here…and calls out the sometimes distinction bt legend & truth. @kellythompson.bsky.social is a master storyteller!

At the risk of bragging/being a non-romantic find yrself a partner who doesn’t care about VDay! Also play this loud: youtu.be/49lLK0BIYeQ?...

This am’s soundtrack inspired by @andrewmale.bsky.social’s wonderfully informative @mojomagazine.bsky.social review of Live at the Plugged Nickel. *17 year old* Tony Williams drums on half of the record’s tracks.

“Here’s an idea…instead of showing these insanely talented people doing more of their insanely talented things we can just show them do fist bumps with a celebrity!”

Awful! People who rob small businesses are a special brand of soulless. BP are THE BEST!

A good 30% of NBC’s Olympic coverage is “can you believe *Snoop* is here? In the *cold*??? And the *snow*????”

Was the job that Morrissey looked for, found and made him miserable being a back scrubber at the YWCA…cos yeah that does sound pretty rough. #jobsreport

Bassist Luke Stewart is an insanely prolific DC musician. It’s hard to keep up with his prodigious catalog. I’m spinning this one from a few years ago for a third time today…it just keeps pulling me back. Which reminds me: need to check into his 2025 output. lukestewart.bandcamp.com/album/luke-s...

Happy 20th bday to one of the best records of ALL TIME! 20?!

Thank you! This helps a lot! I’m not too fussy about cd vs vinyl and usually the selections for the former are plentiful and somewhat intimidating. I’ll look out for your recs!

3rd rather…forgot I have Reminiscent Suite!

Which Waldron album should be my 2nd after The Quest?

Last nights “we should watch one of the Oscar nominated films” inclination worked out REALLY well. Bugonia! Holy freaking cow! Justice for Jessie Plemons tho! giphy.com/gifs/topherm...

As free as the day is long! This isn’t one of Sam Rivers’ more heralded titles…but look at that cover, that typeface! Joined only by Cecil McBee (bass) and Norman Connors (drums), Sam spends some time first on tenor sax, then flute, then piano and finally soprano sax. Show off!!!

I remember everyone seeing The Disintegration tour. And lots of Pink Floyd attendees?

I think the only music concert I saw there was PE…and loads of other hip hop bands on the bill. Unless it was in Baltimore? Seems impossible I didn’t see others? @pscannyc.bsky.social saw Duran Duran in 1984!

Since I can’t find official record of the Public Enemy show I saw there in Winter 91, I’ll instead go with the time my cousin and I saw George The Animal Steele, Brutus Beefcake, Ricky Steamboat, Bam Bam Bigelow, King Kong Bundy and pre embarrassment HH. prowrestling.fandom.com/wiki/WWF_Hou...

The thing about London is you can walk in off the street and two minutes later, be standing in front of this

(I’ll ride with Gordon all the way through 93’s 10 Summoner’s Tales, ftr.)

No *you’re* taking a joyful jazz fusion rock odyssey with Sting’s 1986 live release…

Not one to normally shy away from a fill! I also love BW’s hi-hat work on this. Song is a bang-on-the-steering-wheel classic! The whole band just cooooooks…
