@jtkantor hi! I quit twitter and logging in for the first time in a year to request “your loves whore” by wolf Alice -would love to hear it. You are the best

@treadmillhorse Michael Vick

At its essence, what made Virginia Tech different than other programs between 1993-2011? What was the one special thing that they did that made them more successful during that period?

@Steven_Hyden Amazing! Couldn’t have picked two better subjects - can’t wait!

Hey, I'm psyched to announce that I am spending the next few years writing two books of good old fashioned rock criticism! The first is on The Strokes and their 2001 debut IS THIS IT (which drops in 2026) and the second is about the entire career of U2 (out in 2028)!

@Steven_Hyden @lvalachovic The optimum use of the platform.

@lvalachovic WTF dude?

Ahead of his new album dropping on Friday, I went long on The Weeknd. Fascinating career arc! Topics discussed include: "Hipster R&B," Michael Jackson methadone, The Power Of The Theoretical A-Hole, and more! uproxx.com/pop/the-weeknd…

@TheCryptoSquire 1959 Gibson Les Paul

If you won the lotto today, like a big one, let's say $150M, what's the first thing you'd buy? Don't say paying off debt, I'm talking, what's the very first thing you'd buy.

@Squareses @TitusAndronicus Haha

@TitusAndronicus @msakraid I gotta admit, I already know, own, and love this record. My dumbass just never can remember it by name, my brain categorizes it as "the blue and green one" I never said I wasn't dumb as hell lol

The indie rock gold rush of the late 2000s didn’t last forever

@Squareses @TitusAndronicus Album by Animal Collective - you should check it out

@msakraid @TitusAndronicus IDK the first one, Google tells me it's a venue?

@en_cohen Hashing out trends gonna be lit on Friday.

@Steven_Hyden @DefDylan @philandererstie Yes, and ending the movie too…

@DefDylan @msakraid @philandererstie Ending an album with a song that has the phrase "It's All Over Now" in the title seems logical to me lol

On this date 60 years ago Bob Dylan recorded the greatest side two of all time. (Plus "Maggie's Farm" and "On The Road Again"!)

@Oliver3628192 @treadmillhorse @BlacksburgOTR @HokiePharmacist @pkspizza @macados @cabobburg @SonsofSatVT @TwoDeepVT @boundarycorner I loved Macados but had worst service experience of my life last time I went.

@treadmillhorse @BlacksburgOTR @HokiePharmacist @pkspizza @macados @cabobburg @SonsofSatVT @TwoDeepVT @boundarycorner macados takes 3 hours to get food and all the workers are stoned out of their minds

Best Lunch Spots in Blacksburg 🍕🥙🥪🌮

@TitusAndronicus Haha - yes. “A More Perfect Union” is one of my fav songs of all time.

@msakraid Well, I mean, "The Monitor" was the peak of that era but those two are also good

@philandererstie @Steven_Hyden It’s All Over is a great song - but kind of shocking the album didn’t end with “it’s alright ma” - like how do you follow that?

@Steven_Hyden It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue is such a skip. I am a huge defender of Dylan’s voice but I can’t defend it on that one. If Love Minus Zero Limit or She Belongs to Me (especially the solo acoustic take) took its place it’d be a truly perfect side 2

@Steven_Hyden Great article - going to dust off the DIG! DVD tonight. Also - I know you get a lot of comments on uproxx website issues and happy to report that it was a smooth experience today!

My new column is about Ondi Timoner's DIG!, one of the great rock movies of the 21st century that's now been expanded for a theatrical run. Wrote about my deep love of the original and my mixed feelings about the new version. uproxx.com/indie/dig-grea…

@thekarlkaufman @Steven_Hyden This is so right - and I also love Bringing It All Back Home. Had to come to terms with octopuses garden and maxwells silver hammer but from “here comes the sun” on it might be the greatest stretch of recorded music in history.

@Steven_Hyden Abbey Road, Side 2?

@collin_ruth89 Liability

Can someone explain car insurance to me? I've paid $156 / month the last four years. My car lost half it's value over this period. Why am I still paying $156 / month?

@GuitarStuf The real joke is that no one would compliment the bass player haha.

@CizzlingSports @punt_rd Agree Puppets

@msakraid @punt_rd Man that's tough - probably the Puppets one?

Which is your favourite Metallica logo?

@stewartjerry253 @TheCinesthetic Who is driving?

What, in your opinion, is the single greatest celebrity photograph in history?
