Hey @jtkantor.bsky.social, I’m at the age where I often repeat myself, so pardon me if I made this request last September, but how bout some September Gurls?

This looks like a nice treat for Paul Westerberg fans. Bonus if you are also a Monkees fan. Nice to see some of the brilliance from 49.00 get a new life.
40 years ago tonight I saw this, my first Replacements show at The Channel in Boston. One of the last shows with Bob Stinson, the band was pretty drunk and the set was more than half covers, including a half dozen with the legendary Barrence Whitfield joining them for some craziness at the end.
Just received the #ibpabookaward that I won for book interior design last month. What a beautiful award. Thanks @ibpa.bsky.social for the honor. This is going on the mantel.
Hey @jtkantor.bsky.social, How about some Skyway by The Replacements? Probably the most Minnesota-specific song from my favorite Minnesota band.

Put this together for the upcoming 40th anniversary of my first Replacements show at The Channel in Boston. Have been a superfan ever since. One of Bob Stinson's last shows featuring 19 covers, including 6 with local legend Barrence Whitfield who joined them at the end. Song list in the description.
Marblehead's gonna Marblehead
On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built. This comment says it all.
Found the handwritten setlist I made following Paul Westerberg's surprise club show in Cambridge, MA in 1993, and entered it here in Setlist. Pretty sure this was Paul's very first post-Replacements show—pretty amazing to be at.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:
Not quite the same without Adam, but great seeing Fountains of Wayne again tonight in Boston as part of the Hot Stove, Cool Music event youtu.be/jaStCkSVTVE?...
Question for @porpster.bsky.social or #AT40 fans. I have reel-to-reel tapes of Casey's year-end countdowns from 1974-1984. Even have the old Magnavox deck I taped them on, though doubt it still works. I assume these all exist online now, so just wondering if there's any value in keeping them?
Only way I can possibly watch this.
We're going LIVE to respond to whatever happens at Trump's State of the Union. Join @timmiller.bsky.social, @samsteindc.bsky.social, @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and many more from the team at 8:50 on Substack and YouTube. After the speech @petebuttigieg.bsky.social will join us for a reaction.
