Curtis Mayfield in a white denim western shirt and some patterned polyester flares standing in a field with his arms aloft.
My copy of Roots came with a Curtis Mayfield calender that strangely runs from October 1971 to October 1972. I love it!
This is totally a rage bait article haha

Few more days like this and she’ll be on the ground
After continuously lamenting the amount of tours that skip New England entirely I’m loving seeing like 8 different NE shows on this route
Ethan Hawke as Lee Raybon in the Lowdown
No no no, here’s the new Senator from OK:
Destroyer - Kaputt
Sometimes I just wake up with "Savage Night at the Opera" stuck in my head, and then I've gotta play one of the best pop albums of the century asap
When one finds cheap Pat Metheny at the thrift store one buys it #ECM
Yessir it is, good catch
Ratboys, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways? As a boy raised on the Replacements this makes a kind of sense. Both are from the Midwest and focused on literate heart on the sleeve lyrics, steeped in punk and country twang but focused on neither, and have guitarists that can shred. (3shows)
Haven’t seen the Sinclair this packed in awhile
Florry are the best opening band in America. Seen them open twice and they blew me away both times. First time I was in basement surrounded by too cool camo covered 20somethings. This time there was an amazing moment a few songs in when the Boomer couple in front of me realized “this is our music”

Shelburne Falls is beautiful. Loved seeing the downtown in the Leftovers. I went to Hampshire, so the PV will always be special. Agree that it’s a playground
Sounds great, love that PV print n your bookshelf too
All my life, Democrats have bent over backwards to run scrupulously scandal-free administrations, while Republicans have wallowed publicly and unapologetically in crime and corruption ... and Democrats have gotten zero advantage for it. Zilch.
Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop
And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)
RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless
Bojack Horseman. Basically a human man body and the head of a brown horse with a white forehead diamond patch and muzzle. He’s wearing a blue sweater under a gray sport coat as he sits at a desk in a wood paneled office with a bottle of whisky and two filled tumblers in front of him and another bottle visible on a side table behind him. Hanging on the wall behind him is a horseman parody of a famous David Hockney swimming pool painting.
Tomorrow is the beginning of the Year of the Horse.
Unfortunately this is the Horse.
Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19
If you’d told me in the You Forgot It In People era that 20yrs later I’d be driving my kids home from a skiing lesson and I’d see an electronic billboard on the side of the highway for a Broken Social Scene show (w/ Metric & Stars) at a massive venue owned by the Red Sox I wouldn’t have believed you
This is exactly the point of this medium. Gimme the hits but do something a lil bit different with em, you know, make it interesting. I suppose it takes a next level band like these kids to be able to pull that off tho
(But only after the new mix)
One has to imagine Carles from Hipster Runoff pouring one out at this announcement
Found an OG LP copy at my local shop a couple weeks ago, big day in this house
