Many people forget Bill SImmons' Tooth & Nail era.

Not sure where to jump in on all this, but something something Joe Christmas. Can we get some respect on their name?

You got me. I wrote "style" instead of "still," thus nullifying the entire point.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

It's a good song though. Like, it's hugeness is a weird anomaly, but in a vacuum, it's a great little George Strait throwback co-written by an actual songwriting genius.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Holy shit, a guy tells an out of pocket joke in the 90s, apologizes about it years later, and you're style going full BlueSky about it after his death?

Watch it. It's always the comedies that end the most tragically.

I would also suggest that her disco (Great Balls Of Fire) and yacht rock (Dolly Dolly Dolly) pivots represent some very compelling work, while New Harvest...First Gathering threads the needle between old and new Dolly perfectly.

010

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

The underreported thing about Dolly is that she has some albums. Her best, I think, is New Harvest...First Gathering. It's her first foray as an independent artist (independent of Porter Wagoner). It's a beautiful masterpiece.

It'll probably be exactly the cut that Amazon has. Some painful cuts, but so far I've been surprised how much music actually made it through (Zeppelin!!)

Aw man, I like latter day Cam. Please don't associate him with Chappelle.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

This is the correct answer. I think this is the final arrival point of Steely Dan fandom.

She was one of the castmembers of all time.

I mean, standing by ALL of ANY SNL would be foolish. I always found Lasser's episode to be pretty benign. It basically feels like an extension of an episode of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

I've made my peace with the culture issues with the church (my church was always relatively progressive), but I found that Contemporary Worship music held no artistic value. That never sat right with me.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

The best thing about those really shitty late 70s Beach Boys albums is the one or two Dennis tracks that knock you on your ass while the rest of the band is singing "Shortenin' Bread" or some shit.

I'm observing parking lots!!!! Are my eyes lying to me?? People can't back in to parking spots. It takes forever and it's annoying and people need to stop.

My Pride Night column but changed to a fake headline of "People who back into parking spots when they don't need to should be arrested."

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

This is all false. Every person who backs into their spot takes 2-10x longer than those backing out. I've never seen someone do it efficiently.

Did you even fix you Nilsson Sings Newman blind spot?

My band - old dudes, punkish - just covered "Be Mine!" a couple weeks ago and I cannot be more pleased with how it went.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Loving this Rosco P. Coldchain. Thank you!

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

That does kind of speak to the fundamental issue with Zamata as a castmember.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Papo on a real hot streak right now.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

On a massive DJ Quik kick these days. This album is one of his finest works.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

"I had a problem with their pop breakthrough, I’ll be damned if I can remember why..." Basically my experience exactly. I can't really figure out what left me cold on this album.

010

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Yeah, I'm kinda there with them. I saw a very recent interview with Chris Rock where he referenced Kanye and Kendrick as his top two guys, and I thought it was the corniest answer anyone could have given.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

One thing I've witnessed: the kids find Kendrick fucking CORNY. Doesn't matter that he won.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

I remember initially thinking "the sky's the limit with these guys" after Saturation 2. Turns out, Saturation 2 was the limit.

010

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

So much excitement with the Saturation series and then, bam, irrelevance.

110

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

Agreed. The upper-tier material this season, I believe, has been exceptional and full of all the twists and turns one could hope from SNL. But the middle and lower-tier stuff has always felt a bit rote. Same as it ever was.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

I mean, you're so close. The correct answer is Supporting Caste by Propagandhi, but Reconstruction Site is in the ballpark.

God bless the sincere replies.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

ST absolutely rule. I'd put How Will I Laugh Tomorrow...right behind Metallica and Slayer's best.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

Anthrax were one of my biggest "Wait, people were into THIS?" experiences as I began digging into thrash history. Swap 'em out with Exodus, I say.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Thanks for this list. As someone who has tried and just straight up DOES NOT ENJOY What's Going On, I'm still trying to find a way to connect to Gaye's work.

110

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

BTW, based on how I, and many others, read this album, how could you not consider it the greatest thing ever? I still crave that aggro-slack idea.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

But the recent hand-wringing over Pinkerton is one big eyeroll for me. People trying to dismiss Weezer on moral grounds. Please. Just say you were too old for Blue and you are relieved to not have to wade through the later years and be done with it.

010

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

When I was in my pre-teen years, the stuff that won over my Weird Al brain was silly fluff like Barenaked Ladies and Presidents of the USA...so of course Weezer felt like an advanced study in that.

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

It's like how I absolutely detested The Killers when they first came out, but everyone younger than me was crazy for them. I was 12 when the Blue Album came out. It was approachably aggressive - I was the perfect age. It made no sense to the grunge kids and certainly not the pre-grunge sensitivos

120

Carson @thecarsonmills.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

I always felt the equation for Pinkerton was Crooked Rain filtered through In Utero. I don't know, the olds are cranky in this thread, but it all just speaks to me about how the tiniest difference in generation will make you irrational about certain bands.

New EP alert. Go stream our new EP, The First Release, Vol. 2, at all your regular streaming spots. I'm super proud of it and you should give it a listen.
