Was pleasantly surprised to hear this Melanie song over the closing credits of "Digger." I've listened to this version with Miley a lot in the decade since it came out, and you should too.

Bold to cover one of the coolest songs of all time. I think they pull it off!

To whom it may concern: The great Gillian Welch & David Rawlings recently hopped on KEXP to play a handful of Dead classics and promote their “Acoustic Reckoning” tour. Highly suggest. Here’s “Dire Wolf”.🔥 🎥 KEXP

Is there an equivalent to The Simpsons in a show that not only completely overshadows the show it spun off from but becomes so dominant of a culture force that most people don’t even remember where it started

What I wouldn’t give to go back to October 1989 to attend the Hampton job fair — and also whatever Seafest was. And later, if there’s time, to see the Dead (billed here as the Warlocks).

That’s a good shirt
New issue of CREEM is out. I talked to Chloé Sevigny about the Grateful Dead, and wrote a ton of reviews (Downtown Boys, Twisted Teens, Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Vince Staples, and the like).

My first idea—which I think's literally impossible—was to do a song mentioning another song. So start with, say, Big Star "Thirteen" mentioning "Paint It Black," then "Paint it Black" mentions...nothing. I'd be surprised if anyone could go 3 songs deep. 4 would be impossible.
I've invented a game which may be impossible. Or at least very difficult. Find a song that name-drops another artist. Then find a song by that artist that mentions a third artist. Etc. You win if you get to ten.

I have made a hilariously obvious mistake. I guess I should've listened to the song again. I should be thrown in Pavement jail — if only I wouldn't like that so much! xitter.cf/j_m_barnes/status/2102…

You gotta listen to Picket Fence again. "Some bands I like to name check, one of them is R.E.M."

It's a shame that this sort of live music isn't financially viable anymore. This is exactly how a band should look and sound, especially a string section. And at 1:18, when Rowland's voice perfectly blends in with the fiddle? Dinner is served!

Arguably one of the ten best songs of the decade, but Lowell’s hat is astoundingly mystifying here. There’s like a belt in the middle?

Has anyone ever gone as hard as Vanilla Fudge on Ed Sullivan in 1968?

There *is* a good Tiny Desk Concert — if you know who Ernest Ranglin is.

It’s insane that “New York, New York” is not available to stream. I know it’s not supposed to be good, but a picture by a top 5 living American filmmaker… come on, paisans …..
