Memphis Expat

@jagjaguwar I spent an ungodly amount on a VHS copy of Short Cuts

walking into a Suncoast Video with a couple twenties in your wallet

@james_xond They do answer back… with their expressions and movements!

Be honest… does anyone else talk to animals like they are going to answer back??

@MsduMaurier That’s his best song

Whenever I hear this song, I think of a boy at my old work. He and I had such a close relationship over 5 years. I opened up *so much* to him (he never told me he had a wife and a kid) but anyway he hand-drew me a tiny comic book of this entire song. 🥺😳 open.spotify.com/track/15WbjBy1…

@j_c_domingues Great song then and now @mrchuck901

Al B. Sure! – Nite And Day - 1988

@stoneandthestar That was one of my favorites as a kid!

I'm rereading Harriet the Spy for the first time in many years. I'd forgotten how absolutely savage it is & how merciless Harriet is (& other characters too, at times). As a child I don't think I was quite prepared for it.

@toxiccowboy1 Will go nicely with the I’ll-fitting shoes he makes them all wear

Trump announces new dress code after visiting Graceland.

@DryToast2810 @thamosdeaf He is right

@thamosdeaf A show I haven’t seen, but I asked my dad (who does an annual rewatch) which is the best season and he said “None of them. They’re all incredible in different ways.” I guess he’s right, from what I know about it.

If you’re still insisting that season 2 of The Wire is the best one in 2026 I’m looking at you like one of those dudes who thinks the best jazz music is Japanese. Come on man.

@Demonic_Simian @viperwave They were pretty big for a minute. I saw them open for the Rolling Stones of all bands

@viperwave My parents played a lot of Blind Melon when I was a kid. Probably made kid me think they were bigger than they actually were.

Being raised by Gen X parents sounds so cool, like your Dad went and saw Skinny Puppy in 1988...

@viperwave I’m late Gen X and my ex-husband is earlier Gen X, and our Gen Alpha almost-teen is so enraged about all the shows we’ve seen. He saw stuff in the ‘80s when I was her age that I can’t believe. And then we both saw a ton in the ‘90s, 2000s and beyond

@SurfThrash Perfect album. Will never forget the first time I heard it

Ride - Nowhere (1990) 01. Seagull (0:00) 02. Kaleidoscope (6:08) 03. In a Different Place (9:10) 04. Polar Bear (14:38) 05. Dreams Burn Down (19:24) 06. Decay (25:29) 07. Paralysed (29:04) 08. Vapour Trail (34:38)

@METAVERZUZ Probably hundreds

Yes or No: You’ve been to 20+ concerts in your lifetime.

@BrianPulis @CigsMake Me too (early to mid ‘90s for me).

@CigsMake I loved working at a movie theater in the late 80s/early 90s.

Movie Theatres in the 1990s often curated an experience that featured vibrant, maximalist designs with large sculptural elements, neon accents, and futuristic themed food stations. Today’s movie theatres dont quite live up to that experience. May be one of the reasons why they are on the decline

@Bingobongo35941 @Ruptur3 @DylanSteman @kintsugeist Same--multiple times. LinkedIn is good for jobs, but you have to use it correctly.

@Ruptur3 @DylanSteman @kintsugeist lol I got my current job by a recruiter reaching out to me on LinkedIn

@TedInCoMo @RetroNewsNow Same

@RetroNewsNow I would have sworn this was an 80s song.

🎶In 1990, Go West released ‘King of Wishful Thinking’

@MindBodyBronx Potatoes are good for blood pressure too!

That switch from rice to potatoes is a fitness hack in itself

@writtenbyacai @MindBodyBronx A while being how long 😭

@MindBodyBronx Looking at the astrology fr. I think it will go on for a while & it will get worse before it gets better.

Okay astrologers when do we think this war is gonna wrap up and flights will get back to normal? Bc I called during the last mercury retrograde that the government was gonna shut down again, but I didn’t anticipate it would be this long 😩

@Mikehomeseller Let It Bleed, Some Girls, Tattoo You, Exile

How would you rank these albums 1-4? #mikesquestions #RollingStones

@BillyCarruther3 @SmashingPumpkin It did the same for me at the time.

@SmashingPumpkin This is the song that got me into Smashing Pumpkins It was a ride I could get lost in every time. My teenage heart locked in and dwelled upon the love I yearned for. Brutally raw. A new feeling for me One of the all time great songs

‘Disarm’ — released today in 1994. “I knew the troubles this song would cause in my family. The ripple of the message got through. The string arrangement was invented on the spot, line by line. Beautifully played and stated, and understated by the men involved. There are moments where it works precisely because you trust it will, and when it does work so effortlessly you wonder again why they all can’t have such lucky stars.” - WPC 2011

@20th_Centurygal GNR

The year is 1987 You’re at the record store with enough cash for one.   Appetite for Destruction (GN’R) or Hysteria (Def Leppard) The raw grit vs. the production masterpiece. Which one are you taking home?

@geoffwilt At least she’s with someone cool who seems to appreciate her! A lot of my male celebrity crushes have disappointed me…

@MemphisExpat she’s the best. and we’re roughly the same age and has been my lifelong celebrity crush lol

I retired my Kirsten Dunst bit but not too long ago this headline would have generated a week’s worth of tweets from me.
