A little thrill to realize that an artist that you've always had trouble grasping—due to rarity or vinyl exclusivity or a bunch of aliases, etc—has effectively put everything they've ever done on Bandcamp. Baby Ford in this case, for me

It's just impossible to understand what the editorial intent was. If it was "electronic music" then I think the list has ignored huge swaths of that music. If it's "dance music" then I think the list arbitrarily included a lot of music that is obviously not that

[Andrew Gaerig @agaerig]

I like the RA list well enough but if I was taking on such an impossible task I wouldn't make it a lot harder on myself by comparing, like, William Basinski and Fennesz to DJ Fist

It's not like I had high hopes but holy shit is this Charlotte de Witte album bad. The (pretty negative!) reviews have been too kind, if anything

With Za'Darius Smith retiring, former Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham is now strongly considering coming out of retirement to sign with Philadelphia, league sources told ESPN.

Graham played 15 seasons in Philadelphia and became the longest-tenured Eagle in franchise history. The two-time Super Bowl champion now could be close to building upon those marks if he and the Eagles can finalize a contract this week, according to sources.

The OxAm Waxahatchee profile is excellent (and long) but

"Today she doesn’t even use Google as a search engine, preferring DuckDuckGo."

Has to be one of the funniest things I've ever read

A Michigan Daily editor making literally nothing and eating shitty Wendy's from the Union would've copy-edited this and had it read 10x better

I've since heard from insiders that now-former Michigan President Ono had put his pursued Oxford and Harvard -and didn't get close on either - but was pursued by U-Florida in October. Offer was too low, but when they upped in January, he interviewed. A surprise to Regents.

Bum luck that they showed up a decade too early considering no one will shut up about shoegaze OR Philadelphia these days

Going through some old vinyl: A Sunny Day in Glasgow basically never played a wrong note and then disappeared dignity intact. Legends.

Gloorp is kind of a dumb name sure but it’s just a silly fun little beat tape and got a score befitting that? Why are people hung up on this. Y’all realize that “Mamalarkey” ran the same day with a higher score, right?

@meaghan_garvey Looks cool but I think a bar like this has to get docked a point or two for selling merch.

@cheaptrickrules Shifting album releases to Fridays removed Tuesday's last refuge
