Coachella night 1 highlights (on YouTube, natch, I’m too old for the real thing) -
@cmatbaby.bsky.social ‘s Euro Country was one of the best constructed and engineered albums of 2025- and good news - it plays live too.
The xx - forgot what a mood this band is. Hugely nostalgic.

I look forward to Thursdays for an iconic double college football podcast lineup of Ringer Tailgate + @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social. The common denominator between the two today wasn’t Fernando Mendoza or Bill Belichick - it was Bill Bellamy of all people.

So you need to quickly accept and move past a pretty massive filmmaking conceit to enjoy NICKEL BOYS, but once you do, it’s a stunning, brilliant movie. The director has the confidence of a seasoned veteran. Sure fire Best Picture nom. Highest recommendation.

@jessicasmetana.bsky.social hey! fellow ND grad / Steelers fan here, we interacted a time or two in The Other Place. Gonna be in Miami for 3 days next week and wondered if you had any food / tourism recs & game watch venue. 2 parents & 2 high schoolers who love Latin American food. Thanks! Go Irish!

BLACK DOVES- not as down in the muck or witty as SLOW HORSES as far as British spy shows, but stylish, fun, and great action scenes and a lot of obvious inspiration from Shane Black movies, especially the Christmas setting. Watch now during the holiday season.

Getting to watch Hidalgo and Miles together this year is a real treat. Let’s hope they bring their best to defeat the hated Huskies. #irish #basketball

It’s that time time of year again! Time to share some data. #wrapped

Everyone’s been doing statistics these days, but I’m not complaining. YouTube is almost entirely consumed at midnight on Saturdays after a couple beers, so… 🤷

Three of these go together fairly often, I’d imagine. But I think I’m the only one in the world with these exact five. 😂

Can I just say how nice it is to have actual professionals calling the Notre Dame game tonight? Eagle and Blackledge are so much better than Collinsworth Jr and the Clapper.

I’m happy that the rest of America is coming around on CRUEL SUMMER a scant four years later, a song I’ve long held up as one of the greatest compositions in pop history.
