If AI was used to create the perfect rock and roll singer it would probably just be Bob Seger.

TV on the Radio was one of those bands I found at random in my very early college years; Cookie Mountain is to this day one of my favorite albums. The way they’ve managed to layer so much in every song still astounds me. I can’t believe the album is 19 years old! #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylsky

Which artist who took a heel turn or just turned out to be a twat, bummed you out the most? Mine is Morrissey. What a twat.

In advance of the Oscars tonight: a lot of comedy heroes let you down. They become unfunny/bitter/closed minded. Conan is the exception. He has grown & evolved & is funnier than he’s ever been. He’s also an extremely kind and lovely human. Just a sincere post to say: Conan rules.

I would venture a guess that there isn’t a subset of people more hyper aware of how much dust is actually floating around us than those of us who play/collect vinyl.
