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 · 28/09/2026Too bad no one performed the proper banishment/binding rituals. 050
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 · 24/09/2026How did you feel about The Americans? For me, Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell’s performances alone put it in the top 10. 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 · 22/09/2026Thank you! I am a recent convert after previously being intimidated by the length of more recent episodes and have been consuming it at an unhealthy pace. Sadly, I think I have now reached the point where the “The Universal Coward” jump-scares may have come to an end. 021
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 · 17/09/2026I need to start a weekly listening club to discuss past episodes of this pod. It would take a very long time to catch up! 000
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 · 15/09/2026Do you think this includes a license to use the minion voices in songs released publicly? 010
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 · 13/09/2026The thing that still confuses me: what’s the standard tip on today’s $14+ cocktails? I guess this is easy to do on % now that everything is paid for by card. But I still feel at sea given I did most of my serious drinking in a $1 per drink regime. 200
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 · 09/09/2026I am a pretty smart guy I think but I still have no idea what the actual difference between share point and onedrive is and when you would want to use one over the other. 140
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 09/09/2026But also I think the Musks, Thiels, Andressens believe that in some sense they will *be* the AI if they play their cards right and influence it in way that is rightfully theirs by dint of their massive intellects. 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 · 03/09/2026Omg, I also saw a white minivan with a partial wrap of the Joker’s face this morning. Maybe it’s him! 020
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 03/09/2026The car is on cinderblocks and everything! We do live on the GCP service road righr near an on ramp but holy shit that’s pretty crazy for an otherwise peaceful area a 10 minute walk from some very, very expensive houses 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 · 27/08/2026I suppose these records have all benefited from some remixing or remastering in the intervening years and I am not actually listening to the same thing I was in the early 90s. Discography is pretty messy, just like that of their early inspirations. 000
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 · 26/08/2026Hearing “Supernature” reminded me of the opening scene of Climax, a very lighthearted film that maintains this tone throughout. youtu.be/o47gi3-l-3U?...youtu.beClimax - Opening Dance Scene - (Supernature - Cerrone)YouTube video by Madman Films 010
Todd @howsyrface.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Voted “Lovefool” as I have a fun memory permanently associated with it by the half tab of acid I was on at the time but both tracks are great. 081
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 · 25/08/2026I Get Wet is basically a handbook to navigating the wheel of karma. 110
