@inthehands@hachyderm.ioOne of my least favorite genres of social media post:
EPISODE 1: At last, Foo Bar is politician who shares my personal ideology based on [three things they said]! The hero we’ve been waiting for!!
EPISODE 2: Oh no! Foo Bar is a horrible person because of [three other things they said]! Their poisonous ideology is completely explained by [deeply held stereotype about an entire political party]! I knew it all along!!
I just…ugh. Every part of this.
@Defiance@sfba.socialVarious – "Gods Favorite Dog" (1986)
My work soundtrack for the next 45 min.
Another comp that turned me on to most of these bands. Tracks are still kinda rare, like the Big Black track. I first got this after hearing the Killdozer cover of "Sweet Home Alabama".

@cliffwade@allthingstech.socialI had this Android mini figurine custom made for my dad somewhere around 12 - 13 years ago. I had it made since he was a Marine and I wanted to give home something unique. It was made by someone on Japan and then shipped over to me.
It was one of my dad's favorite gifts that I had given him and he still had it when he passed away in July 2021. It's been at my cousins house this entire time as that's where dad was living when he passed away. (cont...)

@jake4480@c.imFinished Discovery last night. SO good. Great ending and final season. My 2nd favorite Trek overall after Voyager (TNG is a close 3rd of course) - and I'm talking the whole series as a whole. (For amazing standalone episodes, TNG would take it).
But man, I love the hell outta Discovery. The whole cast and crew. I love Burnham - probably my favorite Star Trek captain (just barely over Picard and Janeway). Got the great ending Voyager should have gotten and was robbed of, in my opin…

@kennysmith@mstdn.socialNew favorite team.
“For just about every player, discovering the team allowed them to unearth a version of themselves they did not know, in a world they never knew existed. They have created a family -- not in the shallow way most sports teams have coined the term, but in a way that brings many of them to tears as they think of the everyday realities of life outside of these semi-annual events.”

This single is their first on Sub Pop. Fun song about the importance of beer to a touring band.

@samerfarha@mastodon.social @Defiance@sfba.socialI didn’t realize 90’s indie-pop/shoegaze band Velocity Girl had reunited last year.
They just announced new shows in DC and LA. I never got to see them live, but loved their albums “Copacetic” (‘93) and “Simpatico” (‘94).
They’re also reissuing Copacetic with a new mix.

@Defiance@sfba.socialBlack Flag – “Everything Went Black” (1982)
2 x vinyl LP, 1987 US repress on SST Records
Looks like the 1987 release, but as one commenter on Discogs says, “This version came out before 1987. I bought it new when I was in high school around 1985.” That sounds like me! 😂
Anyway, whenever I got this, I listened to it a lot. So many great variations on my favorite Black Flag songs, pre-Henry Rollins. Lots of Keith Morris (aka “Johnny Bob Goldstein” on this album), who I think …

My best friend at the time got the “Dig That Groove” album the year prior and we would listen to that thing non-stop. I recorded it, then got it on cassette, and eventually on CD.
To this day, that’s one of my top 5 all time favorite albums. I’m grateful I had the luck of being exposed to this band early on.
So I of course got their next album asap. It’s a close second, with standout tunes like “She Goes…
