Read this gorgeous essay about this gorgeous song: "Your Ghost" by Kristin Hersh. If you don't know it yet... you should. C'mon, Michael Stipe sings on it too - would love for them to work together again. I probably CC'd Conan the night this aired.
Thanks to Annie Z for this great read!
Was doing closed captioning for SNL the night Norm dropped the f-bomb on the air.
Got to tell him that story in person 18 years later.
Mr. Pitt shows up too, in Shelly and Leo's story!

Purple vinyl copy of the record "Exile in Guyville" by Liz Phair with an Ortofon cartridge
It's pretty great! Love "Girl Don't Tell Me' especially - had that as a kid on the flip side of "Barbara Ann"! It's the Beach Boys' version of "Ticket To Ride" with Carl on vocals.
Still waiting on a nice big #Moose box set, hopefully with live material and all the b-sides.
More songs should start like Monkey Gone to Heaven. "There was a guy." Ok I'm listening, what's this guy up to
There's some kind of music genre that includes both "Wooly Bully" and "Hully Gully"... that somehow "Surfin' Bird" fits into as well. Nonsense Rock?
This "Time Won't Let Me" cover rips. From the "Timecop" soundtrack! #JCVD in the video: youtu.be/21VF4tVGAvw?...
A red vinyl copy of the record "Covers" by the Smithereens
You find a #Smithereens record in the wild, you snap that thing up. Them's the rules! Listening to "Covers" without looking at the sleeve - surprised by the cover of #Bruce 's "Downbound Train."

Spending time with Liz in Guyville. #vinylsky #vinyl
It's a mat from Third Man Records working well under the clear yellow vinyl!
Restarting side 2 immediately.
Pretty sure someone was trying to get around the "middle name Wayne = serial killer" rule there.
"We've been through fake-a-breakdown
Self hurt
Plastics, collections
Self help, self pain,
EST, psychics, fuck all...
It's crazy what you could've had... it's crazy what you could've had... I need this... I need this..."

A clear yellow vinyl copy of the record "Out Of Time" by R.E.M. spins on a turntable, played by an Ortofon Red cartridge. A swirly yellow and black turntable mat from Third Man Records is visible underneath.
Side 2 of "Out Of Time" just one great track after another. #REM #vinylsky
Have found a number of lists of David Lynch-inspired songs, below is a link to a really good one. Most of them are somehow missing "Bobby Peru" by Luna, though.

The city also terrified him.

This looks like where the characters of "Three's Company" would go if they went to McD's instead of their usual fern bar.

-Bobcat Goldthwait in DC last night
Was entertaining my folks at my apartment with this record and had to jump to hit STOP before closing number "Green Eyes" came on (it's got naughty words).
New ceiling lights illuminate the crowd at the 9:30 Club in Washington DC
By the way @930club.bsky.social - I see you with your sexy new ceiling lights (at least new since I was last in attendance).
And by the way... origin of the album title:

Out at the Michael Shannon & Jason Narducy show celebrating the 40th anniversary of #LIFESRICHPAGEANT so am reposting this.
If you're like me, you're my age, out at a rock show tonight, and already tired of the standing that's inherent in such endeavors.
My colleague who took 15 minutes out of each hour for a smoke break was not amused by that lyric.
Used to do live closed captioning; go to do this when Westerberg played it on SNL on the '90s. That was fun.
