I am delighted to inform you that The Smashing Pumpkins were magical tonight.

What do you imagine he is saying? My first thought: “If music be the food of love, quack on.”

Great things all! Thanks for this, Ben. You’ve helped me win leagues. Excited to subscribe this week for another great season.

What’s your favourite thing about Canada, Ben?!

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

They’re so good. The title track is my jam of late. This is a good one too!

Welcome home! To the place where guitars sing like beautiful jagged angels. Ours is a sublime domicile.

I guess we’re all guilty of forgetting things. Like how to write a good song or how to use an apostrophe.

Squares: “uhh I don’t think I like the autotune on the new Strokes album….” Me: “can you believe this guy?”

One of the best bands going! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Sorry, I’m…..not familiar with that name

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

It’s such a perfect song. Timeless country music storytelling, and a tale as old as time: the love triangle.

010

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Okay, I haven’t heard the new Strokes album yet. How many songs are about his divorce, and how many are about him hating his bandmates? 🎸🗽🤨

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

I’m excited to hear it this week. Opinions I’ve heard so far have been……divided at best.

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

New Strokes album today. Let us rejoice and be glad. 🎸🗽

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Fully embracing the two sides of myself today: First the FIFA World Cup Final on @tsnofficial.bsky.social, at home on my couch. ⚽️🇪🇸 Followed by @deathcabforcutie.bsky.social at RBC Amphitheatre, highlighted by the heavy hitters from Narrow Stairs. “Grapevine Fires” was perfect. 🍇🔥 #ARobDuffyDay

An immensely talented singer taking on one of the greatest songs ever written.

Just an unbelievable performance from Marina Mabrey tonight

This headline was an instant click for me. It was an auto-click. Couldn’t resist if I tried.

If you heard a car blasting this song on the streets of Toronto this week….yeah that was me. youtu.be/h8trKYzgQF0

Cannot wait until it’s warm enough to do this!

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

“Summertime” has always been a favourite. Wonderful song.

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Thank you for having common sense!

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Me when I heard that Sufjan isn’t on the list. Had to check my other phone just to be sure.

010

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

I’d say Sufjan’s huge catalogue of transcendent songs makes him the best. But I agree Joanna Newsom is right up there at the top, too.

000

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

They didn’t include Sufjan Stevens. Not gonna bother reading.

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Actually stunned that this oversight was even possible.

You can almost hear him singing: “Whatever he’s got in his haaands / You can get it on your ooown…”

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

This is very, very nice. Music is the best.

010

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

It was always great. “Tap Out” is a personal favourite. And “Call It Fate”, well that’s just a classic.

It’s impossibly good. Maybe the best bizarre content that the internet ever produced.

I probably read this exact issue in my orthodontist’s office. It was a great publication.

I am enjoying watching my favourite band, The Strokes, play the Coachella music festival 🎸🗽

He really has perfected the art of riding the wave of problematic vs. principled. A dazzling balancing act.

Such a great band. Such a great time to be alive and be a music journalist. We were blessed.

Incredible news for all those Phoenix fans born between 1984 and 1986. Our favourite podcast is back. Separately, but related: long live Sportscast!

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

Man. They had Thom Huge AND Thom Sharpe. That’s the best Thom lineup of all time.

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Do you agree that the written blurbs for albums on Apple Music should have bylines? Why don’t they?

000

Rob Duffy @robduffy.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Given the pop culture events of the last 6 months, Wolf Parade absolutely has to make a new album, right? Like, this is a lock….no? 🐺🎸🇨🇦

I wish this platform only consisted of these types of updates. This is the only content worth posting here. Thank you.

When done right, tribute bands can be an awesome experience. The Brokes are a great example.

There is nothing “extreme” about it. They are literally practicing common sense. Just think about it and you’ll get it.

The Grammys are about to start and I am obviously dismayed I won’t get to listen to the rich analysis of the Indiecast, my favourite podcast. Hey @stevenhyden.bsky.social @iancohen.bsky.social, when you bring it back, I’m subscribing Day One.
