I would not wear this but I *think* I appreciate that it exists?

Gen-X, raised on #70sRock and #60sJazz, enthusiastically embraced #90sAlt, have branched out from there.
I was in a band called Thermous a million years ago. We took third place in the campus battle of the bands.
This is where I blather about music, which often leads to onion belt stories about the things it reminds me of.
As the old person that I am, I reserve the right to occasionally mope and/or yell at clouds

if Alice In Chains had been the musical guest on SNL in the early 90s we might have gotten a Layne's World skit

Happy #bandCampFriday to those who celebrate, which should be all of you
Damn, it's #bandcampFriday again already 🎶
"You there, boy! What day is it?"
"Today? Why it's #bandcampFriday !"
mashup of "Thank You For Being a Friend" and "We're an American Band"
pretty hyped for the new Tele Novella album, I hope they announce a date and preorders soon
I have said it before but Tim Heidecker's "High School" (2022) is a surprisingly sincere (if all you know him from is Tim and Eric,) straightforward, dare I say sweet, album that you may appreciate if you were an early 1990's teen
It's a low-key favorite for a certain mood

Do you watch new music videos in the streaming era?
Still haven't listened to the new Beck, there's a stubborn part of me that doesn't like to stream a new album without actually purchasing it. And I'm also still kind of stubborn about wanting to be able to walk into a record store and buy a new record instead of preordering and having it mailed.
(also, it's easier to justify when you're standing there holding an LP your hot little hands and not looking at an extra $10-15 for shipping)
Some stuff I'll buy digitally as soon as it drops, problem solved, but Beck is a 'want the physical media' artist for me
If things go according to plan, next week I'll get to visit one of my favorite record stores for the first time in an upsetting number of years 🥹
Their original ramshackle location, and the "new" satellite store they used to have are long gone 🥺
but photos of the current location look like they've retained the vibe 🥹
Whatever other treasures I might find, maybe I can finally get a t-shirt 🤞
Everything changes (even change itself)
Dang man, I am just not vibing with the new QOTSA singles to the extent I usually do
and that's fine, everything changes, this too shall pass etc, and I'm still going to buy the album
but there's that thing where it feels a little bit like being broken up with
