Party Freak lyrics sound like they were written three minutes before they recorded the track

My wife got a text almost just like this, just yesterday. A weird new bot scam??

I think I heard the Club Nouveau version of Lean on Me well before Withers' original. Thus my ears can't hear it as a trendy take on a classic - it's just a classic unto itself. Or maybe the song is like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," where it doesn't matter who sings it, it's always moving.

The Adonis track is terrific. But the memories of 10-year-old me calling the local radio station to request Rumors came flooding back, and I can't deny that feeling.

This looked like a group of death on its face, but truthfully Cameo takes it in a walk.

It was my first too so I’ll always love it (although Here Comes the Warm Jets supplanted it as my favorite - also thanks to Fripp’s soloing on “Some of Them Are Old”

Last in this roundup, the debut from Jessica Pratt, I did not pick up from a store. As I was unpacking in the new house I came across this unopened box, and it turned out my wife had mail ordered this… years ago? And just never opened the box when it arrived in the mail? Nice surprise.

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

The Billie album - I really love that album and I know it will go over well with the family during dinner so that was an easy pick.

I dithered between PJ Harvey’s DRY, a recent Courtney Barnett album, and… something else I’m now forgetting. Dry is not my favorite PJ album but it’s still a classic. If it were a different Barnett album I might have chosen differently.

Still ruing that I’d missed out on some great krautrock classics, literally the first thing I see in the first bin is Ashra’s BLACKOUTS. And soon after that I find Eno’s ANOTHER GREEN WORLD for a very affordable $20. I like both of these more than La Düsseldorf so this felt weirdly fated!

Driving back to the west side I still had some time kill before parental responsibilities required me to do other things. So I pulled off the freeway in West Adams and went to High Fidelity, one of my favorites.

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I love what the store is all about and I wish them nothing but success. And hopefully I’ll get back there sometime and maybe some of those albums will still be there.

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

But the store is attached to a bar and apparently they were doing a matinee show, and at one point the owner just stepped out to go help get the show going and… no one was there to ring me up. I waited a long time. So I just… put everything back.

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

It’s a well-curated store and the owner seemed super nice. Lots of very pricey vinyl but a great selection of more affordable stuff too. I found both La Düsseldorf albums, two Steve Earle records, Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies, and the first OMD album

Yesterday I was in downtown LA so I decided to pop over the Glassell Park to check out Permanent Records—a store/venue I’ve really wanted to try but is not typically convenient for me. This was my first time.

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

It’s been TWO MONTHS since I last went record shopping. We moved (not far… perhaps the most annoying way to move), and we traveled. But we’re back home, I got the turntable set up again, and I’m back on it.

Five records. Top row:
Ashra: Blackouts
Jessica Pratt: Jessica Pratt
Brian Eno: Another Green World
PJ Harvey: Dry
Billie Eilish: When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?

Kinda surreal to be able to watch every baseball game all year except the ones that count.

Yeah it was the one game I could have watched! I think it comes back to Fox if it gets to game 5

Well I completely forgot the Dodgers game was on in the middle of the day today, and I’m pretty sure the rest of their series will be on a channel I don’t get

Jackie Jackson died two days ago. His death did not get the fanfare that the big celebrities get but I assure you he was no less than any of them: a titan astride the earth. In this thread, a few of the songs he played bass on. You know these songs. You know their bass parts. youtu.be/DKVB_CtU8XQ

Moved to a new house today. It took twelve hours and two full moving van loads to get it all here. But it’s here. Everything still in boxes, but here!

Despite liking Wilco, I’ve been voting against YHF for this entire tournament. But it’s finally up against an album I truly dislike.

My kids are 16 and 12 now. I’m sitting in a udon restaurant tearing up into my soup as I re-read this old tumblr post from 2013. Scroll to the last post in the thread for a link to the mix if you want to listen while you read.

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I didn’t writer a DC for @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social, but thought I’d share this story from 13 years ago, about choosing a mixtape for labor and my second son’s first song. Bjork’s Vespertine factors in, and this is what I think of whenever I hear that album. I think you should vote for it! 🧵

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

This is Bjork’s best album and it’s the rightful best album of 2001. Let’s please put this fine but way overrated Wilco album to bed

Oh for sure. We could go on forever but pretty soon it’s just “listen to all of it”

Some of my fave Roger Miller songs not included in @natalieweiner.bsky.social’s picks: —Chug-a-Lug —You Don’t Want My Love —Sorry, Willie —Lock Stock and Teardrops —Husbands and Wives Also glad Natalie picked Little Green Apples which I could listen to on repeat forever.

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Though their genres aren’t the same, I put Roger Miller in the same class as Harry Nilsson: the melodies just pour out, and the songs are consistently a joy (except when they’re meant to be gut punches!)

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Tempted by the chaos vote, but no, I do enjoy the Strokes album more.

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

White Stripes have some excellent singles but I really do not get the appeal of their full-lengths nor why this album has been so dominant in all its matchups. It’s really not that good!

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

It’s very high on my list of movies to watch - strangely not on any of the streamers I subscribe to. (Most his others are on Criterion but not that one!)

100

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

The rest of the top 5: STAGE DOOR (La Cava) A STAR IS BORN (Wellman) THE AWFUL TRUTH (McCarey) DÉSIRÉ (Guitry)

000

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Admittedly there are a couple of biggies from this year that I’ve still yet to see, chief among them Renoir’s LE GRAND ILLUSION, and the Fred Astaire vehicle SHALL WE DANCE. Expect that both will wind up high on the list once I eventually see them.

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Time for my roughly monthly movie-watching update: my favorite films of 1937. Top of the list is Julien Duvivier’s PÉPÉ LE MOKO, an excellent crime film starring Jean Gabin in one of his best roles. So many great shots here as Duvivier captures the maze-like underworld of the Casbah.

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

At the time I really liked it but also felt it was the first time they'd shown signs of wheel-spinning. After that I fell off with Low for about 10 years. But when my love for them was rekindled I went back to TWLITF and felt like it was just about flawless. It's definitely Top 5, maybe Top 3.

021

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

People this is a great time to put an end to this fine but overrated Wilco album. Low is the most beautiful band and this is one of their most beautiful albums.

0121

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Both songs bangers, both songs extremely 1996. Can find no fault with either other than to say one is Ultimately Not Really My Thing and the other is Very Much My Thing. Voted Lovefool.

071

sctttnnnt.bsky.social @sctttnnnt.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Voted Jay-Z but honestly not mad at the result shaping up here. Certainly the big hit from Kylie’s record is one of the best in the tourney. I don’t care much for the rest of the album. OTOH I don’t think The Blueprint is Jay’s best so you know, whatever
