Jai Paul vinyl obtained. I've always missed out on the Frank Ocean drops. This is a nice consolation prize-- even if I'm skeptical the sound quality will be decent (XL release + demos), it's one of my favorite pop albums.

Really, really digging this Wednesday album
Thoughts on whether the yellow and black bins at Costco are airtight enough to protect my records when pest control treats for bed bugs? They are too large for garbage bags.
The other option is bins that I won't be able to lid but could double bag in trash bags... but then can't stack.
“No, the hit records of your generation are not better than today's. As soon as you stop listening to new music, your life is over. You are a fart.”
- John Waters
Since this is the only pocket of the internet I felt comfortable acknowledging I have a brand new war with bed bugs to deal with
1) Apparently the use of plastic sleeves makes it extremely unlikely the bugs would fuck with my records as they don't like plastic.
2) My Carhart jacket was stolen from a bar 2 days before I found out I had bed bugs. Does it make me a bad person to hope karma bit them in the ass?
The post I hoped I'd never have to make...
Has anyone here had to deal with bed bugs and protecting their records during the process? I started getting bit on Friday and just found a bug. On top of that my dumb ass was trying to get it into a ziplock and instead lost it in the hallway.
So now its definitely outside of the bedroom.
The vet tech that took care of my dog today looks like Grimes without the eating disorder and plastic surgery.
Fighting off the urge to "accidentally" feed Omar some chocolate
Two women in my life have confirmed this week what I've long suspected-- SZA is to young women what Atmosphere was in the 00's for young men-- solid music whose main function is keep fans company while they get up in their feelings about how shitty the opposite sex is.
I am the only one who finds this whole thing with Chapelle and Musk sad? Dave is so far removed from the comedy that made him.
It reminds me of this quote from Red Dead Redemption 2-- "This place, ain't no such thing as civilized. It's man so in love with greed he has forgotten himself and only found appetites".
If any of you are in Chicago, Danny Brown just announced a show at Empty Bottle and tix immediately went on sale. I snagged one. Bucketlist and should be wild considering Empty's niche as a tiny punk venue.
Been playing Cyberpunk 2077 for about a month. The game, in spite of its clear flaws, is incredible. And the soundtrack is fucking phenomenal (while using mostly unknown artists) and really adds to the vibe.
Addicted to this album. Anytime a good alt-rock album drops in the modern era, it feels like a celebration is in order.
Holy shit-- Spotify's algorithm finally did me right. This is some great mf modern jazz / trip-hop right here--
I just went absolutely ham in the VMP shop for the 1st time in years because their BF prices.
Did a 1 mo membership to snag Check Your Head then snagged Price Paul's A Prince Among Thieves, Grimes' Visions, Darkside's Physic and Bright Eyes' I'm Wide Awake for a grand total of $150.
Considering all 5 albums are a 5/5 in my book, that Tina Fey GIF has never looked so good.
In a year where I seem to be the only person disappointed by Julia Jacklin's new album-- this album kicks ass:
Best KEXP set in a while. Not surprised since they were a 10/10 live experience:
Listening to the new Arctic Monkey and really enjoying their 2nd go as a modern Bowie.
Anybody familiar with my immune system would say my beloved brother is destined to outlive me. But on the off-chance that I wind up speaking at his funeral, I'm gonna begin with "This bitch once made me leave Paul McCartney and Arctic Monkey sets early in the SAME weekend because he was tired. Well, now you can rest in peace".
Ibibio Sound Machine put on one of the best shows I've seen all year last night. And I've seen a number of all-timers in 2022... Reminded me of the way LCD Soundsystem's music is elevated in a live setting.
They are heading Eastward (from Chicago). Go see them.
Avalanches just canceled their tour the night I was supposed to see them... 2 weeks after Arlo Parks canceled her tour, a night before I was supposed to see her
Should I see Low or Japanese Breakfast at Pitchfork on Saturday? -
