Sad to see the fall of a once great publication. As a young writer, I used to dream of a byline in SI. https://t.co/Zh3ibrPZnR

Futurism caught Sports Illustrated publishing AI stories — with fake author profile pages and all. We went to them with it, and they wiped...all of it. https://t.co/bjPvqWeOBI https://t.co/dh100fxUOJ

#MyFavoriteBands 2 Hoodoo Gurus "I Was a Kamikaze Pilot" The Hoodoos have a real knack for comedic tunes that still manage to kick ass, and this is a perfect example. Bonus points for the sly allusion to the Boomtown Rats' "Looking After Number One." https://t.co/DSMePrVPn6

#MyFavoriteBands Hoodoo Gurus are basically the sum total of everything I love in a band: chunky/jangly guitars, sweet melodies, propulsive rhythm section. The first song of theirs I heard (thanks Gord at Vortex Records). Not my favourite, but important. https://t.co/XsEu5TjpjX

RT @RonFilipkowski: With Trump’s indictment imminent, Peter Navarro says a Second Civil War is coming, and says to Democrats that what they…

As I crawl along on Queen street (on the King streetcar no less), I’m once again reminded that not only is the @TTChelps categorically NOT the better way, but the absolute worst way. Is there a more unreliable transit system anywhere?

#GenreJukebox Day 16 80s POWER POP The liner notes: https://t.co/SoWcqhAG5z The Songs: https://t.co/G1SX5tlvoM

#AlbumOpeningSongs Day 21 Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes - "Got to Be a Better Way Home" The Jersey sound doesn't get much better than this album. 5-star classic. https://t.co/rEIWfpPMNm

Day 20 Artful Dodger - Honor Among Thieves Fairfax, VA's finest. Just great hooky, meat-and-potatoes American rock n' roll. Pre-skinny tie -era power pop. https://t.co/65aSl14MUi

#AlbumOpeningSongs Day 19 Iron Maiden - "Prowler" I love (the) Bruce Dickinson era, but those first two Paul Di'Anno albums with Maiden are just perfect NWOBHM. That raw guitar tone from Dave Murray and Dave Stratton (chef's kiss). https://t.co/g0KzTcLG1m

#AlbumOpeningSongs Day 18 The Who - "You Better You Bet." Don't care what the haters say, the two post-Moon albums are both solid. Pete's swilling brandy, Kenney's less manic but steady, Rog wants to be a movie star, and The Ox is...well, The Ox. https://t.co/fg1wtsBvfX

#AlbumOpeningSongs Day 17 Steve Earle - "I Feel Alright" The album that kicked off Earle's terrific second act after years of addiction. Some great tunes here to rival his big hits: "Hardcore Troubadour," "The Unrepentant," "Billy and Bonnie." https://t.co/bfrNkpw3BY

#AlbumOpeningSongs Day 16 The Real Kids - "All Kindsa Girls" All-time punk/power pop anthem about a jilted lover seeking a new companion. "I need someone new, someone who...'s gonna make my heart jump the way she way she used to do." https://t.co/qkHG7KnC6q

#AlbumOpeningSongs Day 15 Crabby Appleton - "Go Back" Track 1 from their 1970 s/t album. They had a few decent tunes in their short-lived (two albums) career, but this is the unquestioned highlight. https://t.co/B1TTq3CgGg

#AlbumOpeningSongs Day 14 "Up Against the Wall" - Tom Robinson Band Opening song to 1979's "Power in the Darkness," which I think is one of the great overlooked albums of the new wave era. Classic opening riff from the late Danny Kustow. https://t.co/TedFZIvesH

#AlbumOpeningSongs Day 13 "Euthanasia" - Tygers of Pan Tang Opening track from "Wild Cat," the debut album by largely overlooked NWOBHM band. https://t.co/yY4PSnzipo

#AlbumOpeningSongs Day 12 Breaking the what? Breaking the what? Breaking the Law - Judas Priest. https://t.co/Xd0lW2UMnu

#AlbumOpeningSongs Day 11 David Johansen - Animals Medley Yeah, yeah, side two of Abbey Road. But surely this has to be on the shortlist of rock's best medleys. A tough-as-old-boots showcase from the former Dolls frontman. https://t.co/kB2fUKrpVc
