Last part of the #IronMaiden weekend and it's discussing the solo career of #BruceDickinson, which I'm glad we did.

The Onion can re-run this today with D’Angelo swapped in for Prince

RIP a(nother) legend

Hearing of the passing of #D'Angelo is a gut-punch. I haven't delved into his discog as much as I should (have only heard *Voodoo*), but dude was MAD talented and unapologetic.

I've told the rest of the crew about doing D'Angelo at some point in 2026--we unanimously agreed.

VERY tardy with this one, but here's Top @taylorswift songs. How much #Swiftie cred do I get by saying the 10-minute version of "All Too Well" is my #1? As for the rest of my list, strap into the episode.

In a bit of magic timing, the episode on #TaylorSwift dropped the same day as the release of her new album, #thelifeofashowgirl. This was recorded in April, so it won't have our thoughts on the new album. But stay tuned: me and Duke may have something up our sleeve for that.

So with #BadBunny announced as the #SuperBowl halftime performer, that means we'll be doing an episode on him and aim to get it released the weekend of the big game.

The return of @radredlink.bsky.social for his favorite band ( #Gorillaz ) may have netted us our funniest episode. Even if most of the jokes were potshots at me (which I took in stride).

A brief Top Songs since it was only me that made a list for #BuddyHolly. Yes, the obligatory #Weezer referencing thumbnail was my idea.

I recall #BuddyHolly being a cozy time covering a #50s rocker...until it sunk in just how bad the sloppily-overdubbed posthumous stuff is.

It's one thing to lament loss of life and decry political violence, but this revisionism is shockingly dishonest and downright offensive to the millions of people Kirk targeted and upon whom he inflicted pain and misery. The man was a liar and a bigot who gladly hurt others to advance himself.

The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

In an oopsie, my brain farted and forgot to post the updates for the #DreamTheater side-episodes. This is late, but you get a two-fer.
One is Top Songs and the other is a personal Top 20 list of John Petrucci guitar solos.

I'm going to make it known that I have playlists set up for my personal use to use on #Spotify until the end of the year. Once the new year rolls around, I'm hitting up playlist converters and switching over to #Deezer for the music listening on the podcast.

One of my personal gateways into #progrock, let alone #progressivemetal, everyone involved with #Algorhythms was excited to tackle #DreamTheater.

We only had one side-episode for #postpunk icons #JoyDivision and their later #synthpop incarnation #NewOrder and it was a quick-and-dirty Top Songs done by my lonesome (Duke did give me his list).

Welp, in an unexpected turn of events, #NineInchNails is a two-part recording. Part 1 was done yesterday and we had to make a split....we cooked HARD on #TheDownwardSpiral and #TheFragile from several different angles.

Also, happy birthday to my IRL brother, Joey (he doesn't have a BlueSky).

Our original plan for #BlackSabbath was to do the recording in August ever since the tribute show was announced back in February.

In light of the recent passing of #OzzyOsbourne, the episode (to be recorded throughout this month) has retroactively become a warts-and-all tribute to him and #Dio.

The last crop of #Genesis episodes involves us asking "Who was the better singer: #PeterGabriel or #PhilCollins ?"

Not as easy to say when we're all fans of both.
