Used CD haul over the past few months
Mitski opening her tour with a surprise show at STARLAND BALLROOM, confirmed emo again
It’s a Masterpiece now
About to see this for the second time ever. I have only ever seen it in theaters
A whole song built around a "Dammit" interpolation on the new Hilary Duff album.... god bless
Sounds like the pop music of the future... with an impeccable list of collaborators
First favorite album of 2026
I got this on eBay & I’ve been slowly adding some of my favorite childhood cds I kept at my apartment & some new cds I got used… curating your own music experience… learning what your favorites really are when you don’t have all music streaming in front of you… highly recommended!
I WAS CLOSE
america could be such a cool fucking place if we’d just let it be
been watching a pirate stream of the Canadian broadcast & I feel bad for you guys… 90% less AI and crypto, entire ads that are just “i hope Sidney Crosby and the boys and the Canadian curling team do good”
I put Seahawks 27, Patriots 9 over on Twitter but it’s looking solid so you’ll just have to take my word on it
I'm surprised Ella Langley is still skating by w/o having to deal with this. She has one of the biggest pop songs in the country!
Every artist strives to reach the level where this can be your bio photo
Worth it just to watch Tyler during the clipse performance
So this new Noah Kahan that got its own 3 minute Mastercard commercial is basically an emo revival song
INCREDIBLE song and video
you bet it is
Anyway today’s haul (I already own CRV on cd and vinyl, obviously)
You’re not allowed to go used records shopping without taking a picture of this one
As a fellow history major from North Jersey who also loves Springsteen... We got our guy!
The inserts and art design inside are so good
Deleting the new USA surveillance TikTok felt pretty damn good!
If it’s making you click Accept the new terms of service before you can delete your account, just turn off WiFi/cellular data & then you can bypass it. Boom.
Join me for a video chat with the Springsteen Center For American Music about my book tonight at 7 eastern! springsteencenter.org/event/conver...
I got a new iPod and I got the only song I’ll ever need
wouldn’t mind seeing Green Day play Kerplunk songs at Webster Hall in 2026 too
What the hell was I up to in 2016
A month and 23 days of no fantasy sports or Learned League. Gonna fuck around and get some shit done
