These machines kill fascists.

Furry friends Friday? Hell yeah. Poppy is always at my side, ready for any adventure. Or cheese.

🎧 Apple Music has this at the top of my home page as a recommendation. Who am I to argue? #musicsky

I just spent 10 minutes trying to find support on Amazon’s site because they shipped me the wrong product. Today, however, I got to deal with a shitty AI chat bot. I’m really tired of shitty customer service everywhere. This is why I’ve been using Amazon less and less recently. Just trash.

Let’s fucking go, I can’t wait to see Deftones for the first time ever in two weeks.

Now stop playing God Bless America.

When I was really young, like 3 or 4, my dad and I would listen to Yankees games on this old AM/FM radio that I’m obsessed with finding on eBay. I’ve been looking every few months for years.

This story has EVERYTHING. Craigslist shopping. Gross apartments. A guy in van. A dead Japanese guy. A helpful Chad.

Every restaurant has too many tables.

This Elmo has seen some shit.

🎧 I can’t wait to see this band for the first time this May. #musicsky #vinyl

Feeling extra anxious and restless today. Not a great day.

🥶 #austin

🎧 Now playing. #vinyl #musicsky

🎧 Post the last four albums you listened to.

Lazy day. #dachshund #dogs

I have watched Spider-Man: Homecoming a dozen times and I’m just now noticing that the stock photo that the news is using for a Spider-Man story is him coming out of a port-a-potty taking off a piece of toilet paper stuck to his shoe. Amazing.

I would love to watch a Behind The Music on how Devo, the weirdest band in the history of music (supportive), broke through and had the success that they did.

The Roots may be the best band I know absolutely zero songs but every time I see them I can’t help but watch in awe.

🎧 Now playing. #vinyl #musicsky

🎧 From #Houston, The Suffers. We were backers to help them press their debut album on vinyl and the band did a live performance at Cactus Records and signed the jacket for everyone. Except for the one guy who left the band between the recording and release of the album, that is. #vinyl #musicsky
