Gutted to learn that this terrible guy I just learned about seems to have written one of the definitive books about Steeleye Span

I worked at a Trader Joe’s years ago, and this and people not bagging their own groceries (and holding up the line in the process) is how we’ve gotten fascism

Has anyone ever asked Michael Noland his thoughts on BeyoncΓ© or Taylor Swift (if you ever do an episode on Vinyl Guys, I have a feeling Taylor will come up a lot)

Not Eastern European obviously, but this album of end-to-end bops from 1985 Brazil has only been reissued on CD and streaming. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEc1...

There are lots of extremely cool and good exceptions to this rule, of course. But as a general rule, if something's been reissued on vinyl decades after its initial release, that's a very good sign it's at least worth checking out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoXJ...

I've bought a lot of old Communist-era Eastern European records in the past few years, and the reason the closest thing to Steely Dan ever produced in Poland didn't catch on here is that it was produced in Poland in 1978. As you could imagine, it's all bangers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPD7...

Real heads know A&S wasn't absorbed by Macy's in 1995. It merged with H&M and became A&M.

Those guys were either the two best or the two worst uncles of all time. I don’t know which, but there’s no middle ground here.

I wonder if it was a clerical error when he was born, like he was supposed to be β€œMark Wayne”, but the space vanished somehow and it was never fixed. My buddy Talor is legally β€œTaylor” because the people at the hospital thought β€œTalor isn’t a real name” and he’s never formally changed it.

oh man, this was such a curveball while trying to adjust to riding on the left (you also can't do that in Japan because street parking is effectively abolished nationwide)

NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.

Burger CEO should be a kind of guy (gender neutral) who looks like they spent years working the grill and eating burgers, that ultimately, they believe that burgers are life.

None of these guys look like they love eating burgers. They look like MBA types who got into the burger business for money. Now Dave Thomas, that was a guy who looked obsessed with giving you the greatest square-patty burger you could ever imagine at an extremely good price.
