In honor of Steve Albini I will listen to nothing but Steely Dan and the #GratefulDead today. There's nothing more #punk than not giving a fuck about some famous asshole's opinions.

Young Steve #Albini at his grumpiest: "Three Pandering Sluts and Their Music-Press Stooge" (January 27, 1994), where he takes on Liz Phair, Urge Overkill and the Smashing Pumpkins via @hitsville's year-in-rock recap for the Chicago Reader.

My favorite dig is referring to Urge Overkill and Oingo Boingo as "Weiners in suits playing frat party rock."

Albini’s greatest achievement may have been his acknowledgment and apology for his previous asshole behavior: https://twitter.com/electricalWSOP/status/1448050174614392832?s=20

That twitter thread shows how a grownup can take accountability for being a dumbass as a young person.

It never ceases to amaze me that #ShaNaNa was considered such a goofy, comical novelty act for covering songs that were 15 years old. "Get a Job" by the #Silhouettes was a #1 record in 1958.

This would be the equivalent of somebody today covering Lady Gaga's "Poker Face."

Finally figured out what specifically the infamously absurd NOOOOO from Vader at the end of the Sith movie reminds me of - it's been bugging me since it first came out. It's got the same enunciation twist at the start of the o sound as the fake (?) Lorne Michaels voice saying "come back with my show" at the start of Robert Smigel's TV Funhouse bits. My overly developed powers of free association strike again #maythe4th

Video: Orville Peck & Willie Nelson - “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BirJMnMcfBs

Directed by Ben Prince. From Stampede, coming soon on Warner Bros.

Orville Peck is a phony. He’s about as “country” as Elon Musk…although Peck looks way better in a cowboy hat. He’s a phony, but he’s a real phony. You can tell he believes his own bullshit...

One more post specifically intended to ingratiate myself with my new instance: My son recently joined his high school rugby team. In addition to being good for his health, teamwork, sportsmanship, etc., the thing I’m most excited about is the team logo. And yes, I ordered a t-shirt for myself!
