Maria Bamford is a fucking genius and even better in person. So glad I finally got to see her tonight at Bell House.

I'm a Padres fan, and I wish it was best-of-seven. Not even so SD would still have a chance to win, but because that series was the best of what baseball can be and I'm disappointed it's over.

Great list. I'd add Blade Runner (the original) to the good director's cut and Donnie Darko to the bad.

If the ball wasn't going out, then why did Uecker need to knock it down? Maybe next time he should use his magical superpowers to redirect a bullet or something.

Long December because it means more. Thought for days about how it doesn't fit the 1980 setting. Feel like it's done to show time doesn't matter. Same assholes in 1980/1995/2026.

He did a DJ gig in Athens GA and I was tasked with picking him up at the Atlanta airport, getting him to the gig, and returning him to the airport the next morning. A truly great dude.

Just my interpretation but I put an unhealthy amount of thought into those Smiths lyrics in my adolescence

I always read it as a coded way of signifying his sexuality as opposed to his companion. Symbolic rather than literal.

It's one thing to be a dumb asshole. It's another to act like being a dumb asshole is some kind of achievement.

I've heard it. It's fantastic.

It took Harper four days, and several fumbling attempts, to come up with a good defense for his actions. And even then, his innocence hinges on him being a bumbling overeager fool.

With all due respect sir, I think I just came across the prescription for your lenses.

In 2004 Asheville NC, MES had a broken hip so he came out on crutches and sat in an office chair at a desk for the entirety. Still one of the angriest most foully charismatic things I've ever seen. What every lit reading should aspire to and doesn't even know is possible.

Thanks for taking the time to read it. I think Fogerty's magic has something to do with making the strange feel familiar and the familiar feel strange.

You guys rock. Just sent an email where I offer to take on the weight of humanity's hatred for the city of Boston. Keep fighting the good fight.

I loved this piece when it came out and still love it today. His exclusion on that recent NYT songwriter list pissed me off so much I wrote this thing you might enjoy. scottcreney.wordpress.com/2026/05/01/t...

It took me less than a minute of distracted scrolling this week to see that the NYT created/curated a list of the 30 Greatest American Living Songwriters or some such shit. I’m not going to r…

I'd imagine a man your age goes to bed early more often than not, but I think you'd really enjoy the Padres radio broadcast. Gwynn's son has a voice made for radio, and the PBP guy Adler is excellent.

Even David Crosby was shocked, offended and appalled

Music genres are by nature such slippery bullshit, but the best "britpop" band was either Cornershop or Elastica. Too bad the UK press narrowed the definition of britpop until it was as inbred as that island's royal family. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5AQ...

Reading it now. Mentions her book and the author by name on the first page of the prologue (third sentence). Says how much he's indebted and the ways in which his book is different.

Scott Creney @scottcreney.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

Didn't mention the name of the female author here so what's your excuse?

His bottom of the 1st today was a masterclass, particulary the real-time drama in seeing the notoriously swing-happy Robert Jr. work his way back to a full count.

Gotta respect the guy's commitment. There's no way to say shit this dumb with this degree of self-confidence unless you "have zero introspection."

Scott Creney @scottcreney.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

Except TV On The Radio. And Fiery Furnaces. Both of whom deserved a better book.

Everyone thought these bands were ripping off VU or Patti or Joy Division, but it turns out all they ever really wanted to be was Duran Duran.

Our kid had a Lego robotics tournament at 7:15 this mornning a 30-minute drive from our house. It lasted until 2pm and I feel like I'm going to start crying.

An island of sanity in an ocean of insanity. Felt good to spend some time there. Proud to be an WFMU swag-for-lifer.

Great stuff as always. Had to check the line in Seeing Other People b/c I remembered it differently. Online sites say girls "know where to put it," but the lyrics in the CD booklet say they "know what they're doing." We live in weird times...

I completely agree with that title and can't wait to read the piece

They cheer because the movie is finally over. Love the original though.

Sir, I think Ron may be guilty of a rare mistranscription. Surely this was your intended message?

This lifetime holiday movie I'm watching may be the greatest piece of avant-garde art the 21st century has produced

010

Scott Creney @scottcreney.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Always heard the name but never encountered their stuff in the wild. This got me to a) go listen and b) immediately buy the d/l on Bandcamp. Thanks.

Scott Creney @scottcreney.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

Still probably the best/most representative/beautiful/horrifying/emblematic piece of art to have been made so far in this our 21st century of the west. The retch of a dying soulless culture desperate to finish exhausting itself so it can start a new life unencumbered by the weight of history.

I mean, we just celebrated the anniversary of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald a couple of days ago.

I remember reading this when it came out. My favorite piece of yours, and so good that I already know the new movie is a waste of my time.

The very first name he mentioned in his victory speech was Eugene Debs. The man knows his history, and he doesn't seem to be afraid of anything or anyone.

Scott Creney @scottcreney.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

Can't imagine what it feels like to be a Jays or Dodgers fan right now. And I say that as a Red Sox fan who lived through the 2003-2004 seasons.
