Diggerscourse had pretty much clinched me going to see it tomorrow but I just learned Emma D'Arcy is in it so that's 110% certainty now

Listening to Brothers in Arms and it's such a weird blockbuster. It's like people decided Eric Johnson was gonna be a huge pop star

Mark Knopfler invented a way of playing guitar that seemingly only exists on this one song

God but "Money for Nothing" goes ruinously hard.

Best I can muster is kind of a Steely Dan esque "nothing but talent" situation only for raw classic rock, not the jazz not the prog just like, rock chops

I wouldn't even know how to explain it. They're not part of a trend, unless you count the 80s' vague retro-boomerism which the Dire Straits kinda got folded into even though they don't really sound like most classic rock bands. I have no idea why they blew up that much

110

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 8h

Dire Straits have one of the strangest places in rock history. Of all the acts who've ever been considered A Really Big Deal both critically and commercially they might be the one you'd sound most insane trying to explain to a zoomer

Cameron Winter album might be an all timer if it had like three songs that rocked. Just three. Not even Guns N Roses level rocking. Dire Straits would suffice

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 8h

I suspect you're aware of this, because you interrupt your own mournful moaning with that "God is actually real" business that made me laugh. But still. Cut it down

000

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 8h

Okay thank Christ this also falls off in the back half, lands on a 7/10 Cameron Winter, ima keep it real with you: I like the moaning. I support the moaning. But you must deploy it more judiciously. You're using it as a crutch.

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 9h

Kinda has the same vibe as like, the first Springsteen album. Not as playful or expressive but similarly rich, sonically

110

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 9h

There's a part of me that just kinda finds Cameron Winter's singing enjoyable and a part that feels like I can hear him accessing the exact tone that makes him sound like a maximally offbeat yet tuneful singer-songwriter

100

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 9h

This was pretty good, back half is diminishing returns tho. 7/10. For my next trick, I'm gonna listen to...that goddamned Caneron Winter album. Gonna be so mad if I like this

101

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 9h

I would say Scream but I don't much like the first Scream tbh. Ynow the first few Puppet Masters are fun...

American Football's schtick seems to be making whole songs out of what would normally be 5 second snatches of Yes songs and adding a lot of plaintive reflection. Ngl I am enjoying it a lot. It makes one Yearn

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 9h

Didn't they only have the one record until like this decade when they realized they're basically Nirvana for zoomers somehow and reformed

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 10h

Let's listen to fuckin...that American Football album, the 1999 one. That's an album I'm due for an opinion on

100

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 10h

A band like My Dying Bride, ain't a melody to be found on their stuff. Kinda washes over you as more effective sonic sculpture as a result

000

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 10h

I've tried to pinpoint why I have trouble grooving with Type O Negative on a vibes-based, ambient music sort of level, and I think the problem is they're just tuneful enough that it feels like they oughta be more so

230

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 10h

I feel like this is the fourth time I've tried to find this album Not Boring. I can be very stubborn about stuff I want to like. It eventually worked for TOOL. However,,,

000

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 11h

Type O Negative one of the only gothic metal bands that's actually full on gothic metal instead a chimerical mix of doom & alternative metal. I think this keeps me slightly at arm's length tbh. Needs more doom

Big titty pathologically shy and insecure girl obsessed with manifestly undeserving main character of reality? There should be a class action lawsuit

Hinata Hyuga one of the most evil fictional characters ever created. The feminism equivalent to getting kicked in the head by a donkey when you're a 13 year old boy

"I dislike nu metal, it is angry and unpleasant and has bad vibes" acceptable "nu metal is intrinsically evil and creates rape particles if not stamped out wherever it may lurk" well no

People say the most reductive bullshit about nu metal. Gen Xers love shining the flashlight under their face when they talk about it

You can get away with pretty much any music take so long as you say one of your favorite albums is The Ascension by Glenn Branca. Oh, the Eagles better than Pere Ubu? Add some Glenn Branca and you're not a tacky buffoon, you're a maverick, you're a renaissance man

This is why it's important i hate 21st century indie so much, so that it's evident I have my own inscrutable yet coherent standards. All part of the plan

My main goal in life is to have such eclectic and wide-ranging taste in music that it's impossible to call me a tasteless pleb even though I'm ride or die for REO Speedwagon

Stuff like H&O and like "Easy Lover", the stuff that's like yacht rock adjacent but not really, your yacht soul. Simply some of the best music of the 80s

"I Can't Go For That" by Hall & Oates. Nothing but talent

The short film Return to Glennascaul starring Orson Welles, which was nominated for an Oscar in the 50s, lifts its premise uncredited from Oliver Onions' oft-anthologized "The Cigarette Case". I wonder how many people have noticed this. Only someone of my particular talents would

God it's so crazy to see Unfiltered Cruise. It's like looking into the Ark of the Covenant

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I could still kinda believe it is in fact just Gay simply because if Tom Cruise were a gay suppressor he would be the most Excellent and Efficient gay suppressor of all time. He would successfully find a way to avoid having a gay thought for twenty years.

120

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Cards on the table if I'm laying money on a speculation I'm going with "Some variety of nonoffending pedophile who credits that 'nonoffending' bit to the glory of Scientology". That would be the explanation that'd make it all click into place for me.

010

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Tom Cruise is like an entire simulacrum of a human being created to avoid grappling with his own interiority. A fully externalized existence, all surfaces.

130

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Tom Cruise is so weird it'd almost be anticlimactic if it were just Gay. Like there's gotta be more to it. John Travolta is what the gay suppressor looks like. Weird but, yknow, explicable.

230

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Everybody has speculation about what The Deal Is with Tom Cruise rattling around their head. Gay? Knows where the bodies are buried? Helped bury them? Pedophile? And I think it'd be funny if he dies and Scientology falls off more and more but we never actually learn anything, he remains an enigma

The One True Ghoster @onetrueposter.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Tom Cruise appeared in my dreams last night to reprimand me for not seeing Digger opening weekend so I might try to catch Digger in the next few days. I'm sorry I'm not doing enough to support The Movies

"Don't Let It End" by Styx came on at the grocery store, a fortuitous omen

"He's So Shy" by the Pointer Sisters, one of the best "What a Fool Believes"-likes
