I tried to refrain from posting this, but I'm sorry @wxpnfm.bsky.social, I’m too much of year nerd. That Aimee Mann Badfinger cover was released in 1993, not 1996. I’m holding that 1993 cd here. #XPNTBT

However, they were spot on with my most played song of all time:

If you happen to be one of those people who enjoy when I create a very long playlist with a specific theme, I would suggest subscribing to my playlist email: open.substack.com/pub/figgsrock2 Tomorrow’s 8 hour journey was inspired by listening to a track from this album on my iPod the other day:

So Deep Discount had a TV box set sale right after Christmas, and when they had the Rockford complete Blu-Ray set for 40% off I had to take the plunge. And I LOVE what’s on the bottom of the box:

I love when I preorder from @mergerecords.bsky.social their albums show up well before the release date, like this new @superchunk.bsky.social album that I listened to twice already. Out on Friday and not-so-shockingly it’s pretty great!

This photo of a very beat up hoodie is to let you know that two weeks from tonight I’ll be returning to New Year’s Eve DJing at Hinterlands in the Kensington section of Brooklyn. All request night starts at 9pm!

I’ve got a busy end of 2024 and start of 2025 on the DJ front here in Brooklyn. Links to the Bowie and Britney events in this thread!

My most precious DVD set is moving to the top of the pile:

Looks like he copied this font:

Got my family Christmas shopping done today as my order of @anniezaleski.bsky.social’s new book came in. (And I can post a photo here because the person I got it for doesn’t have a BlueSky account.)
