Of all the things I hate about being on strike and not getting my regular paycheque (going on 8 weeks now), one of the ones I hate the most right now is the prospect of missing the first Matthew Sweet show in Toronto in 20 years.
My Cowboy Carter hot take so far: I’ll be very disappointed if Beyoncé never gives us a full-on Yacht Rock LP (“BODYGUARD”) or a Hejira folk-jazz fusion one (“ALLIGATOR TEARS”).
You know it’s a sign that the Amy Winehouse biopic is going to be really good if the official TikTok account chose to deactivate comments on its last couple of clips.
I love the Searchers’ power pop Sire years and this cover of the Records’ “Hearts In Her Eyes” is fantastic—but I just do not understand what is going on with the German TV dancers here (or the “comedy” interlude).

An observation from recently watching a series of 1980s movies: the most 1980s yuppie-coded breakfast item that you never see anymore is definitely the half-grapefruit.
The four Raspberries LPs are mostly unimpeachable as the perfect blend of The Who & The Beach Boys. I was also fond of a lot of Carmen’s solo work, most notably the impeccable pop of “She Did It” (featuring Bruce Johnston & Brian Wilson on backing vocals).

R.I.P. Karl Wallinger, who wrote and released a ton of great songs that I’ll always love dearly, including the majestic “She’s the One” as well as this gem from the Reality Bites soundtrack that still has never shown up on streaming platforms:

I love a city that still find new ways to surprise me after nearly two decades, so here’s a shoutout to the Toronto man who was drinking wine straight out of a 4L carton on the TTC this morning.
