xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Also last night I was befuddled when Troy Aikman said he was loath to use the word “high point” on tv. Then I remembered that’s what they called it in Dallas when Michael Irvin would gesture to his nose. 010
xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 29/09/2026New Billy Joel Turnstiles deluxe has a demo track titled I’ve Seen The Lamb Go Down On Broadway. Billy being cheeky or AI run amuck on a record company? 000
xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Extremely niche but need a sniglet for that thing where guitarists give away the next song in the set list by testing their tone. Bob Weir was a frequent offender. Guitarshadowing? Prestrumience? Chordtending? 030

xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Really didn’t expect my barometer to move so wildly (or at all) on the anodyne musical personas that are Ed Sheeran and Macklemore. But I guess goats and heroes come from a unpredicted places in the big 26. 040
xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The Tubs are back with album number 3! Sonically picking up where we left off with the obvious Richard Thompson raised on punk and hardcore vibes. Haven’t parsed the lyrics yet but I’m confident/hopeful the sardonicism persists. 030
xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Been enjoying these classic facsimile Bat issues that DC has been putting out. Fun to contrast this era of storytelling/art with the present. This one’s from ‘73. A classic, taut tale where Joker does some major damage but ultimately “slips” to the Caped Crusader. 000
xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Anyone else calling Gracie Abrams “Fauxbe Bridgers” or do I get dibs? 031
xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Just got some marketing email with the subject Welcome To Quarter-Zip 2.0 and am on tenterhooks for this latest release/technological advancement. Not a patch but a big round new number! 120

xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I do not disagree with the sentiment; in fact I’d call it a personal guiding principle. But given the creepily faded nature of this sign, it seems to be suggesting when you are in the presence of unwanted haunted spirits it’s a good time for coffee and sweets and sure why not? 100
xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Is there room enough in the direct market for two books about meathead bounty hunters? When the creators are the hilarious @thekylestarks.bsky.social and the multi-faceted @remender.bsky.social I’m not at all betting on no. 031

xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Lanterns really is doing the thing. (“The thing” being telling a superhero story that is thus far *perfectly* grounded. Also props for all the Kyle Chandler wistfully gazing upon a high school football field shots to draw in any FNL devotees.) 220

xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I loved it! I await each new installment with anticipation and hope to see it in book form asap! 110
xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Just a couple of real ones real one-ing. @sheilkapadia.bsky.social playing the role of my head and Andy playing the role of my heart. Essential get-ready listen! Requesting a @chrisryan77.bsky.social follow up ep! 061

xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 04/08/2026New album out Friday, gone the following Monday. Heartbreaking but also apt for a life musically lived. A (the?) highlight of my musical playing days was opening and bunking with them courtesy @tigermountain.bsky.social . First shows In US in over a decade, magical. 073
Reposted by @xtiandc.bsky.socialWill Harris @willharrisinva.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Gutted to hear the news about John Douglas of trashcan sinatras. Of course I've been a fan since the band's very first album and been a part of their online fanbase for just about as long online fanbases have been a thing. 2133

xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Really gonna have to tie my hand behind my back to not fire off an undoubtedly pointless and counterproductive email to the local community theater company that touts itself as “by kids, for kids” but just made me pay $20 for a show whose cast comprised 90% adults. 320

xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 11/07/2026A much appreciated gift from a kind friend! Most undervalued Factory release? Produced by Peter Hook. Slot it in with Section 25’s similarly great “From The Hip” (produced by Bernard Sumner) in New Order’s 1984/What We Did On Our Holidays bin. 010

xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 11/07/2026The Bear season 5. I know many have jumped ship but I could literally and metaphorically watch these performers (and writers and editors) cook. 020
xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 25/06/2026This car dealership has curated the ultimate play list. It’s called Uncle and it conveniently collects all of the worst songs ever recorded. Even better, they create an aural ambiance where its volume is exactly equal to the nearby tv showing news you’d prefer to ignore! 110
xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 24/06/2026The Magritte cover grabs your attention initially but the first solo album from Lindisfarne’s singer songwriting comes by its early Elton/Bowie vibes honestly as its engineered by Ken Scott. RIYL Roy Harper or Michael Chapman. (Ack too many dumb snobby reference points for a distinctly original lp!) 010

xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Looks like a Pavement LP but sounds like the Church or something from Flying Nun circa 1988, has copious amounts of 12 string guitar plus saxophone and is one of the most exciting things I’ve heard this year. It’s Station Model Violence from Sydney, Australia! Thnx staticshockrecords.bsky.social ! 110

xtiandc.bsky.social @xtiandc.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Inherited this one from my dad but had never played it until today. Sometimes see it go for big bucks? Turns out it’s great! Same swampy soulful vibe as Exile on Main Street. Recorded in a shed in Accokeek Maryland! Crabs likely consumed. 060
