Mike Duquette, the “gotta have it guy”

The box set bastard. Founder @theseconddisc.bsky.social, catalogue music freak, bio writer for hire, trivia sponge, loving husband, doting dad. It’s fun to have fun but you have to know how
Wild that “Hourglass”—fully separately from the band’s best-known period of almost-hits—is, in the strictest sense, the closest thing Squeeze have to a U.S. chart hit
Bill Zuka (Debuting This Week)@billzuka.bsky.social · 15h ago9/19/1987: #40 Bad - Michael Jackson #81 Hourglass - Squeeze #84 The One I Love - R.E.M.
I think it’s true that the way pop charts are being gathered AND the way we’re listening is in need of overhaul AND if, 22 weeks into a song’s run at No. 1, you—a person with an Internet-connected phone—saying, “well, *I’VE* never heard it” is instant permission for me to never listen to you again
Funny family story: my mom’s relatives were playing charades in the summer at my grandparents’. They had a side yard with a chain link fence you could see through easy. My aunt is gesturing wildly and no one can guess. Guy whizzes by on a bike, yells “BIG BIRD!” He guessed right.

Love to see Zohran doing “Kojima posting about an MCU movie” but for the president
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · yesterdayHad a productive meeting with the President today at Gracie Mansion.
We’ve really turned a corner toward the election, because these donation emails (all of which I received in the last 36 hours) are insane and complete ass
Shitposting is often funny, but I think we’re underrating the surreal, unintended humor of the old internet. When I was a kid I found a fan site for the disaster movie Earthquake that referred to co-star Richard Roundtree as the “bad mother…‘don’t say that!’” who starred in Shaft
A writer I usually respect showing it today by going “ehh what can ya do, we need to get production back in CA” over the Para/Warner merger. How many jobs do you think are really coming back from Dead-Eyed David
What I find particularly offensive about this is Disney's proximity to children and my desire to shield mine from obnoxious ads. It's bad enough they have to live in a world with Kalshi or Polymarket; I don't want that shit popping up during Bluey
IGN@ign.com · 2d agoDisney+ has altered its user agreement to clarify that ads will be allowed on all subscription tiers. https://bit.ly/4hhOjBo
This guy looks like if Shelley Duvall’s Faerie Tale Theatre was still on the air and cast Jack Antonoff as a troll
Nathan C@elprezau.bsky.social · 2d agoThis is my shocked face.
I actually have one as of today: George is not getting enough pushback that “everyone,” from the Fox C-suite to critics, hated his vision for the film

One thing I did not realize in this whole situation is Ed currently looks like he cut his own hair while being chased by bees
Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 3d agoPHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ed Sheeran opens solo concert with comments about Gaza, says what's happening is 'catastrophic and unjustifiable.'
My wife just heard the current No. 1 song in the country (and longest-running ever) for the first time on the radio and misheard the identification, causing her to incredulously scream “Jews in Texas?!”
Even beyond “no one should be working on the HP show,” the premise that Hans Zimmer is going to score a weekly television show is ridiculous. He’s going to pen a three-minute suite and the rest will be composed by an army of protégés with no say in the matter
I should tell you that a lot of satisfying work (from me) went into editing the oral history of one of the most important musicals of the 20th century for its debut on vinyl
Rent Broadway Album Will Get Vinyl Release for 30th Anniversary
The special release includes a new oral history, rarely seen archival materials, and more.

Great reflection on an album and artist that, for better or for worse, meant quite a bit to me at the time

These legislators need the Anita Bryant treatment at minimum
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 6d agoHoly shit. Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined. "I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports." This is getting out of control.
Talked to SYFY Wire's @joshuahweiss.bsky.social about my new book STRANDED ON EARTH: HOW NIGHT SKIES BECAME E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL! Josh is an author and produced THE THING EXPANDED, so he appreciated what me and @1984prods.bsky.social did with this OCT 27 release.

PLEASE tell me we’re not going through this again
Gregg Alexander dropping crazy heater quotes, condemning AI, prepping new New Radicals album (on the same major that released the last one?) is exactly da shit I needed to get through the afternoon
Gregg Alexander: ‘You want your songs playing everywhere in 50 years – not just 50 weeks.’
Gregg Alexander wrote one of the biggest songs of the ’90s, then pretty much completely withdrew from public life. Here, he explains why he’s bring New Radicals back…
