Pro tip for @Spotify users: if ya dig an artist go ahead and hit the follow button ESPECIALLY for smaller artists. There’s literally no downside to doing this. It’s not like a normal social media thing. You won’t have to scroll endlessly thru a feed filled with rants or pics. 1/3

@SurfThrash Same. 😊

Saying “please” and “thank you” to people boosts energy instead of draining it.

Kind of speaks to how integrally diverse the U.S. is that even our right wing nazi buses only pull up to the club with one straight white guy

@en_cohen The Racecourse record is fantastic! Also… Ben and Luke from First Day Back are their rhythm section.

On this day in 1957, Mike Watt was born. From Minutemen to Firehose to The Stooges, his bass playing reshaped punk, post-punk, and indie rock with power, heart, and fearless creativity.

Azzi Fudd UNASSISTED Three👌🏽

Great defense by KK Arnold. Cuts off the lane & allows Azzi to help aggressively at the nail. Love that whoever grabs a steal or loose ball is emboldened to push the pace, probe the D & look for early offense. Azzi Dribble J >

It’s giving Biff Tannen Museum. The whole White House is basically The Biff Tannen Museum.

The White House has added text to the Wall of Fame next to the Rose Garden.

The best emo albums are the ones that hit you immediately when you press play

First Day Back made that album

If you say it's an off year for rock or, worse, nobody's making interesting guitar records, I will laugh in your face

The list goes on and on (but for now it's capped at 30)

First Day Back is #3 so Pitchfork can do whatever they want for the rest of their year-end coverage and I’ll still be happy

Holy shit! After Megyn Kelly gave a free pass to pedophiles Trump and Jeffrey Epstein to fuck children, this 14-year-old girl just gave Kelly a brutal reality check. 😳👇
