This surfaced from my mailbox on Godzilla Day. Is Shin Godzilla a top 5 entry? Maybe. It goes...
1. Godzilla Minus One
2. GMK
3. Mothra vs. Godzilla
4. Invasion of the Astro Monster
...then you've got about six movies battling for that #5 spot.

Hey, @bigstirrecords.bsky.social, make sure the guys in Splitsville know that Naoko and Atsuko recognized their logo on my shirt at the #ShonenKnife concert in Cleveland on Thursday, and we talked a bit about their '97 Irving Plaza show in NYC. The best opening/main act pairing I've ever seen.

No no no no. Thank YOU, @bigstirrecords.bsky.social!
Splitsville has returned with what could be my favorite album of 2025. Power pop is alive and well…and not going to Hutzlers, I’ve learned.

#Seahawks fan since '84. Been alive since before they were a team. And in exactly one month, I'll be taking my first flight to Seattle to see my first home game. Glad I waited, though, as I'd rather share that with my wife and kids than just this guy.

My 2024 concert season is off to a stunning start with Extreme. The soli section of “Cupid’s Dead” continues to be the most amazing thing I’ll ever see/hear at a live show.
