Sublime continues to be one of the more unique stories in music history. Band’s on the rise, frontman dies, band gets big, influences tons of bands & then 30 years later return w/ late frontman’s son filling it for his dad.

Start your day with Phil Collins strolling around the stage like he’s speaking at a tech conference before hitting one of the most iconic drum fills ever
Kendall at the next family function saying how really, the whole thing was the best thing that ever happened to him and since then he’s started painting, doing yoga & is even playing piano in an avant- garde jazz trio.

Of all the subplots we’re looking at heading into 2024, Green Day coming back in the midst of a ugly, shitstorm political campaign, unafraid to get their hands dirty & speak their mind is one of the more exciting ones.

Gotta tell ya, chef, still find myself thinking about “Forks” from
#TheBear
S2 once a day. The Xmas ep is deserving of all the praise it gets but “Forks” was my favorite ep. What that show is able to do in 30-40 mins is amazing.
There was nothing like a Neil Peart drum solo. He played drums like a mad scientist with a rare mixture of steely eyed determination and raw passion. A true master.

This is a solid sequel to the legendary Nate Bargatze George Washington sketch. His delivery is the MVP, with the concept a close second.

“He genuinely thinks that because God gave him the ability to throw a ball, he’s smarter than everyone else.”
Good on Jimmy Kimmel for firing back at donkey-brain, attention-seeking Aaron Rodgers.
I loved how Paul Reubens showed up as a swinging drug dealer in Blow and he was so good that you forgot it was PeeWee Herman in 2 mins.

No one has ever looked mad or upset playing “The Weight” by The Band. It’s just not possible.

last night??? Big weekend for the 90s. Also, Kenan really is SNL’s super power. His ability to react is what helps sell this one.

Cheers to Rage Against the Machine for getting into the
#RockHall2023
- well deserved. Power, Energy, Conviction. I saw them back in the day & was amazed by the way they owned the room. Truly legendary band.
On this day in 1994, Dave Grohl played drums for Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers on SNL, and came super close to joining the band. Definitely a major “what if” in rock history.
Can’t help but think of Chris Cornell today, who died OTD in 2017. One of those deaths that shook me as I had grown up with his music. Soundgarden was a bit harder to get into for a high school grunge fan but well worth it.
Love this from Jokic:
“If you want to be successful, you need to be bad, then you need to be good, then when you’re good, you need to fail, then when you fail, you’re going to figure it out.”
That’s some damn solid wisdom right there.
Where do we stand on going to concerts alone? I have only gone to a show solo if I was writing about it. Got one round here tho that might be a solo excursion but I'm up in the air about it. In related news, being an adult is tough.
Last night my 8 year old asked me who the Beastie Boys are? A boy in her class was wearing a Beasties shirt. I gladly told her & have been thinking about them since. Might be a Beasties Tuesday here at the home office.

Our latest entry in the never ending category of “The Weight” covers: a delightful version by Dave Matthews, Tim Reynolds, Lucas & Micah Nelson& Nathaniel Rateliff at Farm Aid 2024.
Here’s to LeRoi Moore, who passed away 15 years ago today. The way he & Boyd danced on top of the band’s grooves is a big part of what the band so damn good during their 1st 15 years. Truly one of a kind.

S2 was dropped week to week, “Fishes” would have been this week’s episode & in turn, would have been all anyone could talk about. Just saying.
I remember in ‘97, when the Howard Stern movie came out,
@janesaddiction
got back together w/ Flea on bass. There was a MTV special & they played live. It blew my mind. I knew of Jane’s but seeing them changed everything. Such power.
Yeah, probably not going to check out this Andre 3000 flute album but I will go back to the Key & Peele Outkast sketch which is kind of weirdly on point given this latest news…
It’s almost as if Martin Short just knows when the world needs some fresh Jiminy Glick to help get them through the day. This interview with Bill Hader is delightful.
There’s like, 18 different parts in “Guyute” that by themselves would make for a wonderful

Imagine if the Queen was just pulling a classic grandmother move, faking an illness to get her family to come visit. Then when they do, she makes passive aggressive comments about how it takes her being sick for them to come visit these days

We must protect these two at all costs. At this point, it’s all that matters. I don’t want to know a world where Amar & Ali aren’t being a dynamic duo every Thursday night.

And now I'm thinking about 31-year-old Trey before that, picking out a shirt to wear and thinking to himself, 'yeah, definitely the slightly too big for me, green silk shirt. That's a winner.'
