My 13yo has hit an emo/alt punk phase but he doesn’t really realize it - the Algorithm is feeding him weird shit. Trying to make him a playlist of “better” stuff although admittedly I don’t think I was super into this when it was at its peak in the 00s

Friend of sounds. Committed list maker. Wrote a book about Slint.
So I shared the playlist with him in the drive to school today—stuff like Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Jimmy Eat World. As we settled into the car I said “everything I picked for you is kinda punk, kinda #emo”.
As the word “emo” escaped my lips, I saw his face drop. I lost him before the first chord even hit.

very sorry to hear that steve roden has passed away after battling alzheimer’s for the last six years. I met him 20+ years ago and he really opened my eyes and ears to a whole world of art and sound.
My favorite moment in a #jimmybuffett song is during “Volcano” when Jimmy shouts “Mr. Utley!” as if someone in the band is about to launch into a solo, but instead they just keep playing the song as they have been. https://open.spotify.com/track/0s4jINkD2RoxH96zpy2i0D?si=rJBje2ofRfeC2RcX4cl56Q
I tried to make one of those “20 tracks” playlists but first attempt I came up with 60. By the time I narrow it down to 20 the meme will have passed.
RIP Brian McBride of #StarsoftheLid, gone far too soon. SotL made some of the best ambient music of all time and Brian’s solo albums are right up there too.
Ned Raggett (has moved!)The news of #BrianMcBride's passing has really taken the wind out of my sails this morning. #StarsOfTheLid were just that remarkable and moving. I had to get some thoughts out of my head -- up on the Patreon, free for all to read. #music https://www.patreon.com/posts/in-honor-of-88329908
Dan Kletter 🥑Started watching #PokerFace this weekend. It’s enjoyable but I think I should slow down. “Murder of the Week” shows do require that week in between eps so you don’t tire of the formula.
