I'm sure that in actuality, candy making isn't as soothing, fun, or lucrative as it appears on Instagram, but I sort of want to be a candy maker now?

Never thought I would be so politically aligned with Macklemore, but here we are.

I grew up in the golden age of video stores, so I have so many to choose from. Want to hear about the one every thought was a mob front? The one inside an appliance store? The one with a spiral staircase up to the horror room?

I distinctly remember finishing THE BOXCAR CHILDREN and wishing that I could read more of their stories, only to find out it was a series. The joy I felt discovering my first book series is still with me whenever I read something great and learn about a sequel, even if old me knows most sequels blow

Me, when my lawn is unkempt: fuck mowing lawns, we need areas for animals and pollinators to take refuge. Lawncare is American fascism. Assimilation to a norm for no reason is fucked up Me, the minute I cut my grass and walk past a house with a slightly shaggy look: neighborhood is going to hell.

The movie theater cd that we had to play one month had “Convoy” on it, and every time I had to clean the theater after ATTACK OF THE CLONES, that song would ruin my day. Fuck you, CW McCall

Thank you! This is surgery #2 on each to correct his extreme toe walking. Hopefully he’s out of the wheelchair in 2 weeks, out of casts in 4

Ben is currently in a wheelchair after surgery on both Achilles, so he misses that independence something fierce.

Tomorrow should (hopefully, knock on wood) be Ben’s first day back in 2 weeks and, while he loves school, that’s a long layoff. Glad Dante had a good morning!

The Underground Railroad saved a lot of lives, but did it ultimately hurt the train industry?

I wanted to name my college band the Al Gore Rhythm and was vetoed. Fuckers

Similarly, if the band actually accommodates your wish, do not stand in between the bass player and his mic/pedalboard and reach across his body to take a photo of the birthday cake, making him miss a cue as well.

Brian @brianneedsanap.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

“You won’t be let down, I once opened for Wiz Khalifa” doesn’t forgive you making the singer miss his cue and the whole band having to restart a song.

Public service announcement from the lowest rung of live music performance: there is never a reason to try to talk to a member of a band mid-song. If it is your friend’s birthday and you want them shouted out (or want to freestyle a verse?), please wait until a song or set break.

MLB.tv shows me two different CarShield commercials 10x per Mets game. One has Eric Byrnes being as obnoxiously loud as possible. The other has Howard Johnson as stoic and boring as possible. Why were these two extremes the only options? I would think most ex-ballplayers would fall in between.

My kids have two living grandmothers, but if someone mentions “Grandma” in our house, we are 100% talking about our neighbor’s mom who brings their kids to the bus stop every morning.

The Hall still needs more women, queer folks, people of color, and underground music. But this class is an improvement in the overall picture of popular music of the past 50 years.

Ed Sullivan going in is very funny because he famously hated rock and roll. It’s like Frankenstein’s Monster going into the Fire HOF.

Brian @brianneedsanap.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

I approve of all of the Early Influence folks: MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Gram Parsons, Fela Kuti, and Celia Cruz. As a wannabe producer of my own dumb songs, I’m also cool with 3/4 of the producers/songwriters getting in (J. Miller, A. Martin, L. Creed). But fuck Rick Rubin for political reasons.

Brian @brianneedsanap.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

The ballot has been announced, and I predicted 6/8 that got in. No Mariah Carey, instead Phil Collins and Billy Idol got in. This is dumb, but I’m happy for Maiden, JD/NO, Sade, Vandross, and Wu-Tang. I feel fine about Oasis.

Every day Instagram shows me the first 2/3 of a Threads post, and curiosity gets the better of me. The surrounding posts fall into one of 4 categories: Trump horseshit, people using the magic text to try to entrap perverts, cranky Gen X libs, or Stan accounts for things like “70s bush.” What an app!

I think Buckley is a crazy talent, I just don’t know if the body of work is there. If they inducted albums, GRACE would get in.

Brian @brianneedsanap.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

Re: Shakira, I just think that if you want to open the Hall to Latin artists (and they 100% should), I would start elsewhere. I don’t disagree that she eventually deserves a spot, I just like things going in a more linear direction Re: Buckley, again, put in Elliott Smith or Nick Drake first.(1/2)

OH SHIT I forgot that Salt n Peppa got in last year in a side category! I'll swap them out for...TLC

Brian @brianneedsanap.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

LOL. For me, the Rock Hall needs to celebrate artists who are bigger than one moment, and she just has one moment, sadly. And like I said, I enjoy her!

Wu-Tang Clan: as previously established, ain’t nothing to fuck with. Another slam dunk.
