This riff popped into my head today and I was trying to remember what it was. Something by Hum, maybe a post-‘90s deeper cut from Alice in Chains, or a stoner metal riff… Electric Wizard? But actually it was this new comeback song “Long Gone” from Superheaven. Pretty good endorsement tbh

Love to watch a movie filmed in Toronto and recognize an actor because they played a tertiary character in Letterkenny

fair play to google for this one

new Camp Trash split with ********* being announced shortly. new Camp Trash LP being sent for mastering shortly. Camp Trash is on tour with the damn Smoking Popes starting next week. Florida friends: get to the gig! We wanna show the Popes love in the sunshine state.

I contributed a short piece to the new edition of @lyricsaspoetry.bsky.social, a beautiful print journal about dozens of songwriters and their lyrics. lyricsaspoetry.com (Spoiler: my piece is about “So Much for Everyone” by Dan Mangan)

Pour one out for a legend

RIP Biff Wiff, one of the most irreverent dudes in show business and arguably the best name in the game

This rocks

Play-by-play doing a lot of work to talk about the significance of the rivalry without mentioning the very obvious reason for the rivalry

I came here to watch a hockey game but if the American players are so wrapped up in their own dumb patriotism that they can’t or won’t understand the wholly justified reasons for Canadians to boo their national anthem, then I’d be satisfied to see all their faces pounded

I haven’t felt a drop of patriotism since I was like 17 years old but I can’t believe how mad it’s making me to be told we should be sucking American dick as they push across the border

the only move tonight is for Canadians to boo the U.S. anthem even louder

I’m not really in the “defend Post Malone” business, but I find this to be another example of some people thinking a singer is performing poorly when really they just don’t like the way the person’s voice sounds through a condenser mic

“‘When we kick off a merchant, we’re asserting our own moral code as the superior one,’ Mr. Lutke wrote. ‘But who gets to define that moral code? Where would it begin and end?’” I’m not sure what bothers me more about Lutke’s statement: Its willful ignorance or its brute cowardice.

yeah why can’t we have Ghost at the Super Bowl

we played “no plans on saturday” for our sound check tonight and the sound guy said “is that a weakerthans song?” and I almost ran over to kiss him on the mouth

An unintended consequence of this trade war is that Jann Arden’s “Good Mother” is blowing up among young people because it’s become a TikTok anthem for the “buy Canadian” movement. Every cloud has a silver lining etc.

[guy who doesn’t understand what “the machine” is] more like Rage FOR the Machine, am I right?

The biggest red flag for these kinds of columns continues to be name dropping artists from decades past in your critique of the modern era. An absolute lack of desire to engage with the message and with the fundamental differences between Prince in his rise to fame and Chappell Roan

Should labels that pay workers provide more comprehensive support for employees like any other big company? Who can say

Never heard of them

damn can’t believe it’s illegal for women to rock and/or roll

There's a Hallmark movie called Miracle in Motor City where the plot is about trying to get Smokey Robinson for a Christmas concert (I think?), but I could tell it was filmed in Toronto not Detroit because there's a scene at a music store with a Traynor YBA in the background. Useless talent
