Tuesday brings a @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social match between Galaxie 500 and 808 State! also: my sworn enemy J.D.C. says something incorrect again, Walkman vs Discman, Naomi’s earrings, and an indictment of lazy music criticism (we would never!)

the round 1 galaxie 500 post is really good too, it features Jon getting heckled for his ice cream topping choices and me in this very cool “vampires don’t exist, grow up” t-shirt that I wish I still had

That picture reminds me of the big glass mugs at Jittery Joe's, which was a really cool place in Athens that opened late freshman year. It was dark and cozy like a bar, but not loud. Lots of old couches and coffee tables around. They'd have several self-serve urns at the counter.

That's where I fell in love with Ethiopian Harrar. I'd get an almond latte in a pint glass if I was splurging a little.

Maybe this JDC guy is just ignorant about hip-hop? Based on his handle of Galaxie 500 I’m starting to like the cut of his jib.

You’re going to double down on this when you see his Faith No More rating

This line got me: mudslinging Galaxie 500 for self-indulgence and off the mark singing using anything involving Lou Reed shows about as much awareness as Home Alone’s beloved Marv and his crackpot “Wet Bandits” persona.

This one is a lot tougher of choice than I would’ve thought!
