For College Radio Day, a look back at the best era, the 1980s, featuring stoned DJs struggling to get through PSAs and playing whatever they felt like playing. “The only place left where people play records because they like them, not because they’ve already been proven in some other market."

📻 To celebrate College Radio Day, tune in to more than a century of college radio history. In 1906, Harvard students formed what was described as the first college radio club. By the 1920s, students were building stations and broadcasting campus events. 📚 More: blog.archive.org/2026/10/02/1... 🧵

What kind of internet exists, once you remove trolling and shit-posting? What is the online public sphere without the permanent threat of misunderstanding? “The result is a version of slop, but of a sort that is paradoxically (for want of a better word) ‘mindful’ in its ambitions.”

I'm so mad that I now know about this that I have to make others join in the misery. Btw it does not appear that opinions are divided AT ALL. Also, Hyrox is not the same as Hydrox, which is what I thought it said at first. Anyway, please erase this from my brain.

Come on, shake a leg! Happy birthday, Rita Dove!

“Ant wore glasses: thick-lensed, National Health whoppers. The first night Pirroni saw him without them on, wearing that white nose stripe and dressed in the 19th-century, gold-braided Hussar jacket ... his appeal was obvious. ‘It was like Clark Kent becoming Superman.’”

Had to laugh at "Hollywood [is] a members-only community that gathers in reliable spaces, whether the studio lots, the Hotel Bel-Air, Riviera golf course or restaurants like Craig’s." She picked a Hollywood restaurant that actually has an outpost here. Also fyi outsiders: TN is red, Nashville isn't.

“Everything changes,” he croaked at me. “You’ll see. Everything changes.”

Literally the stupidest fucking thing I've ever read. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I will never forget seeing the Cramps perform live -- everything you'd hoped it would be and more. Henry Rollins has been hinting he's been working on something big since he moved to Nashville. Not sure if this is it and/or if there's more to come, but this is super cool.

"Garage revivalists have 'projected a certain idealism onto the original bands', but ? and the Mysterians came as close as anyone to that ideal: young and unpolished, the DIY product of a hyper-local music community, yet full of wide-eyed pop ambition."

Spaceballs: The Clickbait I spent Comic-Con with the gang from Spaceballs: The New One, shadowing them as they orchestrated the return of Rick Moranis after 30 years. Then ... they lost him. Here's what happened behind-the-scenes at Hall H. 🚀

So sad. RIP Dave Kendall. 120 Minutes was the best of MTV.

From the great Ann Magnuson, one of many quotes that feels like it could be prefaced w/ Stefon saying Danceteria is New York's hottest club: "Our Manson musical was called Family! Joey Arias was Manson, I was Squeaky Fromme, and Marc Shaiman played the piano. We had dancers and lots of fake blood."

“Frank O’Hara wrote that he preferred the movies, and Eileen Myles quotes Joe Brainard on his deathbed: ‘Well, one good thing about dying, you don’t have to go to any more poetry readings.’” —Joe Dunthorne on the New York School poets

“I do believe we have made more mistakes than [the first Homo sapiens] did. We lost the connection they had to this world. They led the way quite nicely and successfully, and we got … distracted. We took another path, which is now leading us to a dead end, maybe.”

Sure, the way Gus Fring died in Breaking Bad was pretty shocking, but not mentioned here is a much more unexpected killing in Better Call Saul that was so upsetting I almost couldn't finish the series. www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/most-s...

Beautiful story, fascinating history, must read "With cunning and audacity, they used this country’s obsession with skin color to undercut its own rules, proving that race is manufactured and performative, as social scientists have long said."
