Dune from Barrels of Fun is a blast. Helps if it’s in a Dune Room.

It's a blast.

I hate X-Men, but it's not because I couldn't talk to Julie Delpy while I was playing it....

I missed the Ramones because I was a pall bearer at my great grandmother's funeral.

What is your biggest concert... miss?

I missed seeing Dinosaur Jr and My Bloody Valentine in Birmingham, Alabama by a day as I was visiting my dad on spring break in high school, and the day they played - the day I found out about it - was the day I went home. Wanna say there was a good opener too.

I'm possibly more excited about this part of the re-issue than any other.

I'm so thrilled and delighted to have written the liner notes for Rhino's new reissue of the Replacements all-time classic 'Let It Be'. It's an LP which has aged beautifully and surprisingly, and this new set is wildly elucidating. Pre-orders available now, if you dare! pitchfork.com/news/the-rep...

I was riding my bike near Town Lake in ATX and went around two men and a woman and thought from 100’ behind, she looks like Winona. When I passed them it was her, Robert Rodriguez and Woody Harrelson walking down the road.

I think it should be consistently pointed out that we are poisoning the entire city of Memphis, Tennessee for this.

Days after a Grok antisemitism scandal rocked X, tech billionaire Elon Musk’s AI chatbot has introduced two animated characters that try to pressure users into sexually explicit or violent conversations.

Musk's Grok 'companions' include a flirty anime character and an anti-religion panda

NBC News tested Grok’s new AI “companions,” which seem designed to shock and entertain users.

To this day I can neither carry laundromat pickup nor pizza without singing Big Ol Brew by Mel McDaniel. One of these days, everything that I want is gonna be mine…

Josh Crews @joshcrewsreally.bsky.social · Jul 8

What's the most random/obscure thing you quote?

In "The Stand' by Stephen King (complete/uncut ed iirc), a character called The Kid would sometimes say "how do you like that happy crappy?" and I often say that to myself/out loud for various reasons lol.
