It's not something that I say in jest
Can't get mad at anyone who votes IGW - unlike a lot of the Very Good Band With a Pretty Good Album entries in this round, it's the only album that quite does what it does and it does it exceedingly well. But, y'know. 'Vespertine.'

If Bryson Stott can play all nine positions and hit in all nine lineup spots and also maybe come out of the bullpen every couple games I think the Phils might be OK

Tom the Anime Sicko 🔜 Hell@tomharrison.bsky.social · yesterdayHey folks. I am going to debut a silly little side-project podcast next week. It is a good show and a lot of fun for me personally. However that is beside the point. The main thing is it has literally the best podcast art of all time. Check it out:
Dunno how many people know the third Gin Blossoms album - 'Major Lodge Victory,' turned 20 over the weekend - but it's a pretty immaculate pop-rock album that just could not have had less to do with pop or rock music in 2006. Not as urgent as NME but nearly as satisfying. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

hi. BrooklynVegan was my life for the past 16 years until last week when i was laid off, along with most of our team. if you like my writing, especially about punk & emo, and want to help me out during this time, please read below.
Was surprised at how unanimous the staff excitement was when I proposed the idea of doing the 100 Best No. 2 Hits. Hopefully you'll find it as much fun as we did! www.billboard.com/lists/best-n...

Cool list! I've only seen five of these but I agree with all but one so I assume the strike rate is similarly high throughout
Judy Berman@judyberman.bsky.social · 2d agoExcited to share this project I've been working on for months: a long list of the most underappreciated TV shows of a dizzyingly overabundant 21st century. The research for this was so fun—revisiting great shows I barely remembered, finally getting to watch others that had been on my list for years
Man I spend three decades coming to terms with how "I never had to knock on wood" might actually make sense on some level and Tom comes around to scribble in a fucking comma and now I'm back to Square One

Have a pop-punk song that doesn't exist called "Gluten-Free Girlfriend" stuck in my head Call-and-response chorus: "Coz she's my gluten-free girlfriend / *G-F! G-F!*"
Kelsey Mitchell now not only the single-season record-holder for most consecutive 20-point games, she is also currently the only guard in league history (+ only player period besides A'ja) to average 24 a game on over 50% shooting. Also shooting 44% from three. Talk More About Kelsey Mitchell!!!
AUgetoffmygold@augetoffmygold.bsky.social · 2w agoMitchell already over 20 for the game today, not even halftime yet. Doing it against the best team in the league too. TMAKM

Early New Order song: I stand on the shore with blood in my eyes Watching the sun disappear over the horizon Will we ever be forgiven? [Waves of crashing synths] Late New Order song: Ooh little girl you got a funky little smile Can't you tell I'm your rock n' roll child? [Record scratch solo]
Ned Raggett@nedraggett.bsky.social · 6d ago(Very) early Depeche song: So I'm bopping now And it's lovely to watch you dance Ooo-ooo (synth beeps) Later Depeche song: Your leather is my crime The beat is so sublime The apocalypse is mine (massive stomps) (Live variant addition: "C'MON LET'S SEE THOSE HANDS!")
Madonna accomplished many things with 'Confessions II' but the most impressive has to be proving it's possible to make a 2026 album filled to the brim with songs about the dancefloor and not mention crying in any of them
if Olivia Rodrigo gets to play Warsaw then Dry Cleaning should get to play MSG

Razzball@razzball.bsky.social · last wk.Pete Crow-Armstrong just passed Shohei Ohtani in homers. Could someone finally wrestle the NL MVP away? Is a half season of pitching worth more than PCA's full year of defense? I don’t know. either way, it's going to be a tight race for NL MVP, and it should be.

Mattingly gets this feeling the lineup's in motion, a sudden sense of liberty
Matt Gelb@mattgelb.bsky.social · last wk.Don Mattingly indicated everything is possible in New Phillies Order. Harper could be lifted for defense late in games. He might not. Stott and Bohm could end up back at their normal positions if subs are needed. Arraez could play first if needed. There are no rules.
well I respect them not trying to fudge the round number at least
Take solace Phillies fans: They could have just traded Justin Crawford for a minor leaguer who doesn't even exist yet and called it a day
AUgetoffmygold@augetoffmygold.bsky.social · last wk.I was wondering why I was the only one decently happy with the Phillies' trade deadline when everyone else seemed frustrated they didn't get more. Then I remembered the Sixers deadline I just lived through.
