Forty Years of the Sinatras
A funny thing happens if you don't die young: You get old. And all the people around you who don't die get old too. And the weirdest part is that when you get the chance to hang out together with people you've known for a long time, it doesn't feel that much different than when you were young. Sure, our feet and backs get sore now and we probably all drink w...

Mekons: Tiny Desk Concert
www.npr.org/2025/08/12/g-s1-79127/mekons-tiny-desk-concert

I can't thank you enough (well, I can't thank you at all😒) for getting me listening to Hot Chocolate. They are absolutely one of my favorite new old bands. As you explained to me, they are so much more than a funk act (which is plenty mind you); you can hear psychedelia, British Invasion, pop ballads influences in their songs. Just a truly slept upon 1970s era band.

for a very long time, I had on my to-do list the task of drafting an article version of an enjoyable conversation I had last year with Andy McCluskey of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
conducted in May 2024, this interview was a favorite as Andy was a joy to talk to and, though we ventured into some dark territories regarding world affairs, there were lots of laughs
finally checking this one off the list ☑️ — I'm chuffed for you to read it on The Tonearm … enjoy! →
@notsle Swear to god last time I was in Silver Lake I found this on the ground.

Bought the Olivia Rodrigo albums on vinyl from Target today and they come with exclusive posters. “Gonna hang them up on the wall in your office, creeper?” My wife is so mean. I’M NOT A CREEPER I’M A FAN.

@stevegis_ssg Yes. And my son calls my wife’s bestie Auntie Meems, which is very much not her name.

@QueenOfTheCroneAge She used to post on a Forest Hills parents fb page and all the mean liberal moms would call her “Stefanie with an F” all the time. It was hilarious. She got no traction and apparently moved on to Lowell.

Local kick-ass librarian suing Stefanie Boone, a Moms for Liberty whack a doo.
Her lawyer is ALSO in the same category. He's an election-denier, and Barry County fascist christian nationalist sheriff Dar Leaf bro.
“It’s just really hard to talk about. That’s why I’ve actually been working from home a lot. … I mean being called a groomer, being called a pedophile, I was called a whore, a smut peddler,” Beachler said in a previous interview with the Michigan Advance. “I’ve been an educator for 37 years and how can somebody call somebody that name that has invested their life in working with kids? It’s very hurtful and obviously untrue.”
"DePerno is a former GOP candidate for Michigan Attorney General who is also facing felony charges related to allegations he tampered with election equipment."
