Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It really, really sucks to be sick on vacation, especially when it is supposed to be a very active one. I started feeling shitty as soon as I started signed off work on Friday. 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Mom who can’t remember what the Minions are called: is that one of those Manions movies? 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Bear cam really popping off right now www.youtube.com/live/cTsjMtj...youtube.comLIVE Kat's River View - Katmai National Park, Alaska | explore.orgYouTube video by Explore Bears 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The way Malkmus makes “The torture of the Van Wyck Expressway at 5pm on Friday gives you some idea of how rejection makes me feel” into a singable lyric in “Gardenia” never ceases to delight me. It’s like a magic trick. Total flex. 010
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 23/09/2026This is really out of hand today and I’m selecting the nuclear option, though I may have to add names of certain states for this to be effective 001
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I wish there were an easy way to block posts about midterm election polls from my feed. I refuse to be prick-teased by the prospect the democrats will get enough seats to actually do something. 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The Patreon bonus episodes are essential! I’m a few years behind but my favorite so far is about The Name Game by Shirley Ellis, which I was shocked to discover was a “real” hit song with a fascinating creator and not just a schoolyard chant. 112
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I’ve been enjoying The Doors’ music for the first time in my life lately and combined with its leaving soon status on Criterion Channel I attempted to watch Oliver Stone’s Doors film. I had to turn it off 15 minutes in lest I start hating the Doors again. Woof. 120
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Love the detail in @500songspodcast.bsky.social “For What It’s Worth” episode that both Neil Young and Stephen Stills’ mothers would call Buffalo Springfield’s management to complain about their respective son’s relative press coverage. Folk rock helicopter parents! 230
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Due to my crash-course into @500songspodcast.bsky.social I am afraid The Universal Coward has somehow become my favorite song youtu.be/Vb6tnpFuUa8?...youtu.beThe Universal CowardYouTube video by Jan & Dean - Topic 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I’ve been with my wife for over ten years now and I can’t believe I just called her “Erin on the Side of Caution” for the first time tonight. It’s been sitting there the whole time. 020
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 14/09/2026How does dragonfire not totally incinerate the sheep so there’s nothing left to eat? This tweet brought to you by finally starting House of the Dragon Season 3. 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Did they really do a drone show about 9/11 over New York Harbor last night and not bother to tell anyone it was happening? 001
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I have to admit that years ago when companies were first talking about folding phones I pictured something you could just wad up and stick in your pocket like a piece of paper. Let me know when I can wad my phone up, okay? 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Recently when working on the computer I have taken to vocalizing something like “beep boop beep” when switching between tasks and as I now sit on a great long desk instead of a cubicle in the office I really have to stop this. Beep boop beep. 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Thanks to 500 songs... for pointing me to this performance. Holy shit James Brown youtu.be/6-E0X2JxCs4?...youtu.beJames Brown & The Famous Flames, live on the T.A.M.I show 1964YouTube video by Afra Bass 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 03/09/2026On my walk this morning an off leash Doberman contacted my arm from behind and when I got back to my building saw that someone had stolen the tires off my neighbor’s car. Combined with the rats infesting the dog park because of nearby construction is Forest Hills 2026 South Bronx 1980? 220
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Watching The People vs Larry Flynt as it is leaving Criterion and I had no idea I would have to watch fucking James Carville so much. 010
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 27/08/2026In recent years I have discounted how much I liked Spacemen 3 due to encountering them at an impressionable age when the records were somewhat hard to get, and consequently haven’t revisited them too much, but I am jamming the earliest material today and can confidently say they motherfucking rule. 110
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 27/08/2026This has clearly become the case for me in the past month, in texting on iPhone in particular. 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Getting served ads for donating plasma while watching The Shards. Things must really be bad out there! 001
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 25/08/2026You know tech execs have really poisoned the well because they’ve made the prospect of watching a motherfucking ROBOT OLYMPICS unappealing. 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 24/08/2026A minor joy among the many, many to be found listening to “A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs” are the artist/band names of UK also-rans; the episode today mentioned “Kenny Balls’ Jazzmen” 100
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Someone in Fort Bragg NC sent me a Zoom Multistomp pedal I didn’t order with no included information. Is this some sort of Delta Force trap? 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Handover from my manager included the immortal phrase “title should not reference Spaceballs” in reference to something we’re editing. 120
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 17/08/2026TFW something is on sale at the grocery store for 2019 regular price #blessed 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Hitting up “Midnite Vultures” in full today for the first time in ages and it is much less muddy and has more fun stereo elements in it than I remember. 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 12/08/2026It is sublime to hear clips of things like Neil Diamond’s and Mike Love’s recordings of “Stagger Lee” on A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs. 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 11/08/2026On the bright side it would be funny if “The Kennedy Curse” became a euphemism for diarrhea instead. 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Fuck it we’re doing four cones. This cub is the most adorable thing ever. I can’t get enough. 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I guess I like the Doors now 🤷. My near-lethal dose of classic rock radio as a kid seems to be finally wearing off. 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Had to wait three weeks to get told an oral biopsy was nothing of concern. Do not recommend, although I will pat myself on the back for not googling for anything it could have been and being generally chill about it. 100
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 05/08/2026After around 50 episodes I am still delighted every time Andrew Hickey pronounces “boogie”. 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Every time I see the company name Hugging Face I automatically reverse it in my brain to Face Hugger. They can’t have possibly wanted that association, right? Our company will forcibly implant an alien embryo in you. 100
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Guy who thinks Daryl Hannah and Darrell Hammond are the same person. 001
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 26/07/2026And again, even after I had immediately seen the yellow, because I outsmarted myself. 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Learned about LeBron’s choice from the Freezing Cold Takes feed. 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Want to sound smart about the Iran war energy crisis, but also a little dirty? Instead of crude oil prices, talk about how wide crack spreads have gotten. Not quite as wide as crack spreads in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine, but the widest since. Everyone’s concerned about wide crack spreads! 000
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I have determined that it has been long enough to bring “wait, whaaaattt?” back into the rotation. Welcome back old friend. 000
