<--- might have done a little bit too much Labor Day doomscrolling

Day 76 of my cover challenge: (1986) Pete Townsend covered the original recorded by the Beat in 1982. One of Townsend's favorites, he mentions in the video it has a "unique tuning " (I looked it up: DADAAD. instead of DADGAD - I'll leave it to you guitarists..) #MusicSky youtu.be/pQ0zMDJKkbg?...
Turn it up. ##MusicSky youtu.be/v0DpBnUznd0?...
It's not fast enough and you won't be able to get home. Otherwise you're ok.
Yes but that's not the main problem
Oh shit
Deep fried barnacles 💯
300 days remain until our 2026 Fair food rankings
Faux Labubus, three for $25, oh just take them
Some good deals the last half hour though
Hurry if you want to go to the Fair this year
Walking on eggshells actually sounds pretty fun, assuming there's nobody around to get mad at you about it
FYI this is my favorite sign I’ve ever seen
Thirty minutes into Psycho. It's about a lady who goes psycho and steals money from her company. I hope she doesn't get away with it
The bank app is telling me to "tap & pay like a boss😏" and "rally my crew". I am 37 years old and you are the bank. Don't talk to me this way.
Do you consider the thumb a finger?
You are correct. gloriousnoise.com/2008/replace...
This is like the Tom Petty rockumentary: I got halfway through and was like, wait, there's more?!

Wishing all the parents out there good luck on their new class WhatsApp chats
I would definitely have stepped aside.
Someone just drove past my apartment playing "Sixteen Tons" at top volume. Happy Labor Day.
Okay I should try this.
Great band. I had one of those CD player alarm clocks when I lived in Minneapolis, and The Strike woke me up every morning
Of course!
Andy is where I learned about The Strike. Don't ask me what I was doing when they were around.
I just hope @garyhornseth.bsky.social doesn't see this thread.
Will do!
The Strike - “Kicking Ass” (1996) For your Labor Day enjoyment, one of the best Minneapolis bands from the 1990s (before relocating to Chicago and releasing one more LP).
As a teenager, I would've said "Nightswimming." As an adult, it's "Don't Go Back to Rockville."
You can't watch this and not want a red Stratocaster
Mr. Ed: also a horse.
The best part of any State Fair is when somebody gets to learn that Dan Patch was a horse
Creole.
I know that genre of reaction video where people listen to a song they haven't heard before is mostly fake but watching people listen to Sultans of Swing for the first time is so much fun
Obligatory repost
It's the Information Highway so ...
Dammit!
Somebody is throwing things out of a window of the White House wtaf
Highway 61 used to go through Hinckley, but that's been ... revisited.

🎶 The rest of the year, they keep it all locked
Illinois is near the bottom of the area where the aurora borealis is expected to be visible tonight. www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aur...
That would motivate you to bring your A(viation) game.
This picture in particular, she's contorted like a Crumb lady.
@decervelage.bsky.social Thirsty Edward Hopper has something in common with R. Crumb I reckon
And now we can say that with great certainty.
Or stand behind them?
I have had my attention called to this headline and the possibly curative attributes of incanting the phrase "Faux Labubus" (as it appeared in print)
Another year in the books of the pinnacle of American culture.
Do you remember your overall impression of the scene? Whether you thought it was going over well or not? Were you seeing what you expected?
Controversial opinion: there is no such thing as fat free vinaigrette. If it has no fat, it can't be vinaigrette. Or, in fact, salad dressing of any kind. It's just sad water.
OMG ... what do you remember? Any particular songs or other highlights? Which show do you think you saw?
Dammit!
This might be the most embarrassing post I’ve ever seen on this website

My mom used to go to the BX (the Air Force base version of Target, literally the only place to shop if you lived on base in a remote area) and ask them for their outdated pattern books, and bring them home so I could make paper dolls with the drawings. I cut out hundreds of them.
If you’re ever passing through Hinckley (on certain days of the week between May-Oct), be sure to stop at the Fire Museum
Best this, best that ... we need more news-you-can-use *worst* stories
Thanks, sometimes being overly literal has its rewards! I only wish I could have rendered that part in seed art last year as was the original plan
A noun and a verb and rendered assistance to a domestic abuse victim by the highway?
Dammit!
No, an AFP staff photographer named Andrew Caballero Reynolds got several shots of him yesterday and they're available on Getty. Sorry. www.gettyimages.com/search/2/ima...
This Sunday of Mondays bewilders me.
driving somewhere else to run does always feel a little silly
OTD bio, love it
Chicago: Labor Day! World: Yes!! USA: Hmmnh ... let's give it another 4 months
This is literally true in this case.
Today seems like a perfect day to visit Minnehaha Falls. Unfortunately, I bet everyone else has the same exact idea. 😒
Kibble in the Bloom is my favorite import-only Pogues EP
Very mush so!
Wait, really?
it’s neat that we have a holiday to commemorate the labours of Heracles. it’s pretty hard to choose a favorite from the twelve, but I was always impressed by his slaying of the nemean lion with his bare hands. Heracles was so strong! wow!
Sorry, it was quite stale.
!!!!
Poured out a large bowl of Cheerios from an old box just to finish them off, sampled one from the bottom of the box (outside the bag), and (to quote John Lennon) "Well, I just had to laugh"
Fans or girlfriends?
Labor Day mood
causes endless confusion for me that nyc has an astoria and a rockaway beach
If you are, like me, generally opposed to how Large Language Models are being positioned and used (and not regulated currently) one very simple thing you could do is to stop using the term “AI” to describe them. When you do, you’re buying into the linguistic and conceptual framework of your enemies.
Not sure what I’m supposed to do to help bluesky grow. Should I smile more?
I had to check: Joe co-produced that album and co-wrote five or six songs. I thought their old label had a contractual ban on Mick and Joe working together for X number of years after the Clash but I guess they got around that somehow.
It’s so crazy that all the Replacements, Soul Asylum, and Husker Dü were in the audience.
Interesting! I recall being put off by it but that was very long ago now. Definitely tipping his hand as a not entirely reconstructed ex-hippie with that one?
“Twenty Flight Rock” is the song Paul played for John when he asked to join his band. I don’t know if there are Cavern/Hamburg recordings, but it was aired out once during the interminable Get Back/Let it Be sessions.
What a delight, to enjoy a great line: "like a flaming paper airplane flying straight into the Heartland", and then give a happy little clap when you learn those flaming planes were literal!
Hahaha their moms and dads
On this day in 1974, the Minnesota State Fair hosted the first pair of four shows over two days by the New York Dolls that arguably launched the alt/indie music scene in the Twin Cities ... like a flaming paper airplane flying straight into the Heartland. @mplsmusichistory.bsky.social Thread:
The folks bleating about how a site must be dying because one number on the ledger isn't incessantly, infinitely going up are in the same genus of folks who drove small hardware stores and mom and pop groceries out of business so that you have to drive to a sun-bleached strip mall to go shopping
