Per Matt Pinfield on Facebook, it appears the earliest full-time host of MTV's 120 Minutes Dave Kendall has died. Dave was the pre-Grunge host, when 120 minutes was still full of truly outsider videos and stuff that hadn't or would never cross over. R.I.P. king!

Heartbroken to hear about the passing of Dave Kendall.

Dave was one of the true believers. Long before alternative music found its way into the mainstream, he was there every week on 120 Minutes, introducing people to bands that would go on to define an era. He didn’t just host a show. He gave a home to music that deserved to be heard.

He loved the music, respected the artists, and connected with fans in a way that always felt authentic. That’s a rare gift.

Sending love to everyone whose life he touched.

Rest easy, Dave.

I'm a cover art nerd with a strong love of text as an integral design element, so the trend of textless covers over the last 10-15 years is a bummer. Et tu, Dinosaur Jr?? The band name on your covers has always been such a great part of them. 👎

A black vinyl record partially pulled out from the right side of its square album sleeve, resting on a flat, light grey background. The album cover features a dark, abstract illustration with hazy, luminescent figures that appear vaguely skeletal or otherworldly, rendered in bleeding, watercolor-like textures of white, blue, green, and yellow against a black backdrop.

I'm frequently annoyed by engagement farming posts about album release anniversaries, but I just read Art Brut's Bang Bang Rock & Roll turned 21 over the weekend and WHAT NO THAT CAN'T BE TRUE

Cover art for the Art Brut album Bang Bang Rock & Roll, semi-tranparent faces of the band members overlayed atop each other, each in a different color.

But what I really want is more options like these. I don't have to haul around kids or much else. VW has never sold the Polo in the US and they aren't gonna start now. Renault will never try to sell cars here again after the last time. But these are perfect!

I briefly hosted a blog in the aughts with some friends called "God's Audio/Visual Aid," a line borrowed from a song by The Mink Lungs. Hadn't thought about the album in many moons, but oof sorry about that release date.

I'm a wuss, so I frequently check IMDb's parents guide before deciding to watch anything particularly horrorish. I applaud this user's trigger warning:
