Counting down the 1000 greatest rock and roll songs of all time and making other lists of my favorite tunes and albums. Rock and roll is my favorite genre but I truly like a little bit of everything, from classical and cumbia to honky-tonk and highlife.
718/1000 Tommy Tutone, "867-5309/Jenny" - The platonic ideal of a new wave power pop one-hit wonder: Four chords, a paranoid lead guitar line, and a narrator who probably should have been arrested. For a good time, read up on what happened to people with this phone number. #brodystoprock1000

719/1000 The Byrds, "Mr. Tambourine Man" - Roger McGuinn's chiming 12-string Rickenbacker is one of the most ripped-off sounds in rock history, and I don't think I have ever heard a tribute to its folk rock guitar stylings that sounds bad. Makes every morning jingle jangle. #brodystoprock1000

Digging through the year-end lists, so much music up my alley that I missed.
This song sounds like Pure Moods crossed with Sarah McLachlan. Have I fallen in a wormhole and gotten stuck in 1997? (Not complaining!)

I'm not particularly nostalgic for CDs as a technology but I am particularly nostalgic for how they ushered in an amazing wave of musical rediscovery, compiling, recontextualization, and so on. It was a very different attention economy than the one we are currently living in.

All I Want for Christmas Is You becoming the number 1 song every holiday must have something to do with 90s nostalgia the same way Jingle Bell Rock or Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree channel 50s nostalgia but no other 90s Christmas song has made it to the playlist canon.

as rapacious and awful as the '80s-90s generation of moguls were, they still wanted to make big hit movies! they liked premieres, big flashy ads, hanging out with actors. this new set of owners are a bunch of soulless creeps---does Zaslav even like movies? seems unlikely

Listening to the most recent Wednesday album, another one of those pleasant indie rock albums that makes me flash back to this Mike Powell Pitchfork review of Hop Along from 2015. pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

720/1000 Washed Out, "Feel It All Around" - Perhaps chillwave's greatest moment, a song that sounds like a half-remembered dream about one of the best feelings you've ever had. Relaxing on the surface, but worries that it's all downhill from here linger uneasily in the background. #brodystoprock1000

Yesterday, I held a music festival in my district to register voters and speak directly to young people who don’t usually attend political events. 4,500 tickets. Music + advocacy go hand in hand. Madsoul Festival 2025 was a success.

Is Elvis Costello now a mainstay of the record store cheap bin? Saw various albums of his for 3-5 dollars today, and even bought a cheap copy of Armed Forces. A sign he‘s fallen out of fashion?

I finally figured it out: That one band is like Greta Van Fleet except instead of Led Zeppelin they sound like the guy from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah fronting Cold War Kids.

Did Pitchfork gain cultural relevance with Gen Z? The TikTok hate videos for Getting Killed I’m seeing on my feed for some reason talk about Pitchfork in a way I haven’t heard since Spotify and poptimism took over. I’m happily drinking Metamucil like, good for the kids they got their Veckatimest.

Feels like it triggers the “at last, some PROPER music” reflex for people who came of age during the late-2000s indie boom
This Geese record seems fine but in no way rock album of the year.

721/1000 Roger Miller, "King of the Road" - They don't make songs about the laid-back hobo lifestyle anymore, probably another thing the high cost of housing displaced. An agreeably finger-snappin' lazy groove to match the carefree lyrics; or is the narrator actually miserable? #brodystoprock1000

I think this was always true but is especially true as the era of films premiering on closed platforms subsumes the relatively (and certainly imperfectly) open era of theatrical distribution and cable tv
All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.
