Somehow rediscovered Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip today. I listened to them all the time growing up, was obsessed with Distraction Pieces, and planned my London trip around seeing Pip perform at the KOKO. But I never saw a music video before!

I like punk and jam bands who jam heavy
Luke from @lespecial.bsky.social is always so funny, playing with the lexicon. “Rory on the drum, Jonny on the guitars,” or “I love the McGees.” Anyhoo, new @nugs.net show just dropped, they opened for Moe. at Caverns.
I have a thing for bags. My bf is grocery shopping for us as my ankle heals and I guess we have ”too many bags in our bags”???? I’m pretty minimal but I can’t bare to see a usable tote bag get thrown away
I dunno if anyone watches Project Runway, as shit as it’s gotten. But this ep is NFL themed and a designer saying “Nets are such a thing in sports,” and the caption immediately saying ~No nets in football~ is pretty funny.
I’m enjoying this Jack White concert on nugs, and the black and white is neat, and Michigan represent…. But this crowd is stagnant!!! Move your shoulders people, bend the knees
Someone on @umphreys.com reddit created a digital Pick 5 for upcoming shows. wappypicks.com Now people other than @goldlikejoel.bsky.social can see my desire for UM to do a Miss Grandenko cover again. 😁

The average comment under a Steve Reich youtube video is like “This and my daughter are the two most beautiful things in my life.”
Moments of standing and staring out my office window, listening to Music For 18 Musicians by @stevereich.bsky.social with my nice work-provided headphones, give me pause and joy in an otherwise typical work setting. Beautiful music to ponder nature for a few moments.
The Police song about territorial spraying cats, Message in a Butthole.
I love being to choose my music at work after years of Muzak. I get to do mini research dives into all my favorite pieces! TIL that Koyaanisqatai means “life out of balance,” and the movie I grew up with is part of a trilogy!!! Also shocked to learned the doc came out in 1982 😮
A 12 year old YouTube comment : “I like Philip Glass a lot. Folks say, great; show me something. Then they tell me I’m crazy.”
I’m basically moisturizing my arms with cortisone lotion at this point in the summer.
It’s whack how many standing desk articles exists like “start with only 20 minutes a day and sit the rest!” when I came from a grocery store where we had no chairs for 10 hour shifts. Office life is so freaking soft, I’m happy to be here but hope I don’t become uncool too fast.
Working in an open cubicle setting is way different than working in a loud hippie grocery store when it comes to farting.
I am obsessed with Charlotte Adigery and Bolis Pupul, ever since @squirrelygirl.bsky.social helped me ID a song of theirs. Thank you, this music has been a great addition to my listening habits. This concert is just so beautiful and fun: youtu.be/CiUt2yZHt1o?...

A sneak peak at Cory’s writing process 👀 “High Beams” is out now, wherever you stream your streams! And Cat Shop vinyl, tees, posters, and CDs are available for pre-order!
Your amazing. The amazing that belongs to you.
TIL that the Minutemen‘s Dr. Wu is a COVER???? Of Steely Dan????? I guess it is slightly different stylistically. Just listened to the original and it quite frankly sucks!
Your welcome. The welcome that belongs to you.
This is like when I went to Target to buy a basketball for myself and the shelf tag literally said “men’s basketball” !!!
I’m visiting an active construction site for work and need steel toe boots. There is LITERALLY ONE women’s boot on rack room shoes‘ website and it’s a piece of shit quality sketchers. The men have dozens of options from multiple brands.
I am a ~professional woman~ now. With a desk job. Aka time to dick around on the internet. Been browsing LinkedIn as a time waster and please tell me why everyone types with emojis?? These posts seem insane to me. It rubs me the wrong way, but it’s the only work kosher social media.
Today I learned that Switzerland’s Latin name is Confoederatio Helvetica. That’s why CH is on their license plates. They also invented Helvetica font. I saw the acronym DACH and went down a lil bunny hole!
Today’s work soundtrack has been Kaleta 🇧🇯🇳🇬 and Super Yamba band , who I saw on Saturday night, followed by hours of Ravi & Anoushka Shankar. world music is our music!
Today’s version of In C I’m loving- youtu.be/DNnm-XSS6Ag?... Using water as an instrument! We need more cowbell in buckets of water!

I got an email job last week after three years in a grocery store and two years managing a retail store. Holy molee. This reinforces all the thoughts I had of the richer people who could afford to shop at the bougie places I worked at versus us employees doing the physical labor to serve you.
Today’s version of In C I’m loving- youtu.be/yI0h0hheong?... The dude jamming out with his Korg, boop booping to the best piece of music.
