my May in music: seven new releases, some low-key singer-songwriter stuff, old punk faves, and a Ceremony album that goes straight to the top mostly because each song is like 20 seconds long

Matt and @adamfeibel.com are also on the latest @bigincanada.bsky.social talking Billy Talent!

We’ve got an exclusive excerpt from Matt Bobkin and Adam Feibel's upcoming book 'In Too Deep: When Canadian Punks Took Over The World'

Today, you can read an exclusive excerpt of my new book via @stereogum.bsky.social!

My first book IN TOO DEEP comes out in just one week! If you’d like a copy, I’d really appreciate it if you’d pre-order it from your local bookstore. Pre-orders really help drive further sales and visibility! Shop local 📚 linktr.ee/intoodeepbook

What does it say about me that I don’t really consider Tim Robinson’s projects to be “cringe comedy” like so many people call it

Listening to the punk rock band Slipknot on my way to my second viewing of Friendship

Stupid thing to complain about but I don’t want the deluxe edition in my library. I don’t want Siri to play the deluxe edition by default. I want to listen to the original album with its normal beginning and end and see the original artwork not the weird version. Normalize regular editions!!!

Can’t wait to log the new Turnstile album on Letterboxd

My first book In Too Deep: When Canadian Punks Took Over the World is out in just TWO WEEKS! Now with a cover featuring a great quote from the very cool and kind Tim McIlrath of Rise Against. Preorder here ➡️ linktr.ee/intoodeepbook

Every time I see this TV commercial I think about how this guy looks like a perfect mix of David Dastmalchian and Justin Trudeau

The music of Seinfeld, divorced from the show itself, is nothing short of disgusting. Imagine if the show didn’t exist but the music somehow did. Hearing it, your face would twist in angry revulsion

I saw a band’s announcement of their upcoming “North American tour” but all the dates were in the U.S. You used to have to book at least one Toronto date to qualify for a North American tour!

big thanks to @getalternative.bsky.social for including our new video in their roundup this week! ✨ www.getalternative.com/the-alt-week...

5x5 for April. 🌷 It’s been a month of unpredictable weather and I can guess roughly what the temperature was that day based on what I listened to.

Jesse Lacey is facing a previously undisclosed grooming allegation as Brand New a mount comeback attempt. “Jesse Lacey and Brand New should not be touring right now,” writes his accuser.

Casting for a TV or movie adaptation of an existing work or a biopic of a real person is really easy actually. You just need to hire someone who already looks exactly like the character they’ll portray, regardless of their availability or audition

5x5 for March 🎧

the young people seem to be seriously underestimating how popular Creed were 25 years ago

I did the a24 bracket. That top four involved a couple VERY hard choices.

Hmm the Severance season finale seems to be revealing that many of the series’ diehard fans do not understand one of the most important points of the show

It’s true, there are only two punk bands that aren’t right wing
