Yo @mlb.com this fucking sucks, keep this rancid shit away from me! Also, have you forgotten what happens when baseball gets in bed with gamblers, you historically ignorant bozos?

Thanks, YouTube?

Five Songs reaches 2001, which...I'm not going to talk about That. Instead, I complain about commutes, posit a taxonomy for Fugazi records, mention US Maple and Unwound, and damn, there were some good-ass records in 2001. www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f...

Five Songs visits 2002, a year when I was laid off for the first time. We also contemplate a great Blackalicious record, my favorite People Under The Stairs album, and somehow Sharon Jones's debut. www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f...

here's my venmo

Trying out a new format today: Tag Sale! Join me as I look through some tags on Bandcamp and look for some new stuff to listen to! It's like digging through record bins at the store, except I'm being judged by you all instead of a bored college student: www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f...

Five Songs (which I forgot to post yesterday) visits 2003, including some reminiscing on Einstürzende Neubauten in a very unhelpful form. Also, my favorite Calexico record. Note: since I wrote this, the entry for Feedbacker has been fixed. www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f...

I say this reposted into my feed, clicked through, and was sad that I had missed it because it looks really neat. It was about then that I figured out that actually I had backed it and completely forgotten. Anyway, I love giving myself presents in the future.

"Eppy-Deppy-Diah!" a thing I say at the end of every episode.@epidiah.bsky.social · 2w ago

Psst. www.swordswithoutmaster.com backers, check your updates for a thrilling sneak peek!

if you see me at the pavement show say hi. you can’t miss me: I’m with the guy wearing the guided by voices hat

Five Songs is up! 2004 is contemplated, and nothing comes to mind. A year that for sure happened and for which I have no real markers. I'm sure I'm forgetting something! Also, some EPs, De La Soul, and Silkworm. All this and five random songs as well! www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f...

Five Songs is out! 2005 wasn't much different from 2006, life-wise, and so I talk about records. A chance encounter in a record store changed my taste and I have an unpopular opinion on a band. www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f...

“Just leave kids home” is how you wind up with kids who are dependent on an iPad to exist

Five Songs, in which boring jobs are contemplated and I wrote about an incredibly mainstream record because I want to. Also, I just found a typo and I'm not going to fix it. Quality is job #17! www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f...

I swear I posted Five Songs yesterday, but I forgot how time zones work so it didn't actually post. Look, I'm on vacation. Anyway: 2007! Some Pacific Northwest shit and I make myself sad thinking about Lance Hahn again: www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f...

Five Songs is out! We're in 2008 for this one, and we visit an album about baseball, a rare appearance by a compilation, and some memories of a Very Good Boy who was also a very stupid boy: www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f...

Time to go through the mid-year list for The Quietus and find all the stuff I've missed: thequietus.com/tq-charts/al...

I forgot to push the post button yesterday, whoops. Anyway, Five Songs! We're in 2009, and I discover that I really didn't know shit about music then: www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f...

New Five Songs! We ran out of present, so now I'm heading backwards in time, starting with 2010, whereupon I discover Problems in my collection. www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f... As always, RSS and email work and are a billion times better than social media.

New Five Songs is out: www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f... Featuring 2024 albums and some thoughts on Steve Albini.

I wrote this and forgot to post it yesterday. Nothing but pro work here. Anyway, Five Songs, in which 2022 is summarily ignored and 2023 is contemplated: www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f... Citric Dummies! Knower! Facet! Other stuff!

Well, I forgot to actually post yesterday's post yesterday, which is typical. But, it does mean that I posted during the day, so there's that. Anyway: new Five Songs featuring two deeply unpleasant 2021 records I love and some other stuff: www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f...

The ads on the MLB audio feeds are shabby, cynical, and grotesque, as befits ownership's priorities. The Kalshi ad I just heard would still stand out even were it a "normal" ad. But it was sweatily teasing the Knicks at 37%, adding "extremely expired" to its impressive list of faults.

Plane just touched down during the peak of the crescendo of Krallice's "Monolith of Possession", so I think I need to figure out where I can buy a pack of smokes in Sea-Tac.

Five Songs visits 2020. Some memorable stuff happened that year. Some music came out that year as well. Those plus three recent releases alongside five random songs. Huh. Is that where the name comes from? www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f... RSS and email are things! Use them!

Five Songs is out, with contemplation of 2019, including records from Inter Arma, Pardoner, others: www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f...

Hell yeah.

Guess who wrote up a post and then forgot to push it out? GUESS. Anyway, Five Songs, featuring stuff from 2018, and then some more stuff from 2018. And I just realized I forgot to include the Bandcamp links for everything. Welp. www.fiverandomsongs.com/posts/2026/f...
