Music FAN, sharing playlists of Power Pop songs (& adjacent genres) to bring back the '90s joy of making friends mix tapes. (I'm a real prof, but not of pop.)
I'm officially done with this platform, so I won't be posting here any more, but I'll sit on this account name just in case it ever changes hands. Nazi billionaire traitors can fuck right off.
Only getting into them now, so didn't make my songs/albums lists, but these bands were mentioned as similar to Black Country, New Road, so I pounced. Liked both on 1st listen, & they seem to be growers, too.
1. Racing Mount Pleasant: S/T
2. Candelabro: Deseo, Carne y Voluntad
I bought A LOT of great new albums in 2025. It was tough but I narrowed them down here tomy favorite 10 (with 5 honorable mentions). Could’ve easily done a top 20 with 10 honorables this year….
I’ve not hung here lately, but 2025 was such a great year for music I wanted to spread some joy with a playlist of my 66 favorite songs of the year. (Wanted to narrow to 50 but couldn’t). If you don’t know these, check them out:

I don’t think I’ll be on this platform much longer. If you’re a mutual with a bluesky account, please drop it below so I can follow you there. My handle there is @michaeljkane.bsky.social
Wow. I never saw CSNY go this hard. Tom Jones is turned to 11 from jump &, perhaps in response, Stills becomes a man possessed. Crosby-Nash barely contain their joy. If only they’d stayed this together, this hungry. What could’ve been.

Lana Del Rey And The Last Best American Record
🧵
When Lana Del Rey released her 2019 masterpiece ‘Norman Fucking Rockwell!’ the easy assumption to make was that the title was an attack on Rockwell and his art, those all American paintings that are so far removed from the
