TIL that you can get a @chrissteller.bsky.social LEGO keychain.
Maybe @uminnpress.bsky.social could answer questions about βThe Luminous Fairies and Mothraβ if anyone has any?
Operation Epic Fairy?
I do not need a phone booth from the State Fair auction.

Works for me!
Just stupendous. I was just telling someone about my favorite part the other day.
Itβs starting to precipitate in Saint Paul
A passage in which JAke is the most excited in the band when the song hits Number One on the alternative radio charts.
A passage about the heavier remix they opted for.
Part of the lead-up to the Grammys, with Johnny Rotten interviewing them on the red carpet.
More good stuff re: "Closing Time" from Jake Slichter's book

Not sure how the universe works but I think this means TMBG now must record a song titled "Endless Breadsticks"
Got a wrong number voicemail from a Connecticut Olive Garden, calling Joshua, who hadnβt picked up his order. The caller listened to my outgoing message, which is Carl Kasell noting that itβs my cell phone and then reading some of the lyrics to @tmbg.bsky.socialβs βDr. Worm.β
I feel like between Closing Time, Zamboni, and Let's Go Crazy Minneapolis musicians have higher national sports arena usage than would otherwise be expected for one city.
Day One, but Iβm beginning to suspect the brownish-purple β1990s loose cutβ trousers I got on clearance at Old Navy last weekend arenβt quite as haute couture as the tag led me to believe.
The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."
passage on page 174 of the book describes some of the instances of famous people stating that the song was being played too much
More of the same, including a couple excerpts from the New York Times
A couple pages from @portablephilosophy.bsky.social's excellent rock n' roll memoir, "So You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star" covering the period when the ubiquity of "Closing Time" began to curdle ...
Iβve been an iPhone user since 2008. Today I dropped mine twice on cobblestones & cracked the back. Itβs the first time I ever broke my phone. I had a good run.
