A local (Minnesotan) pop for a band that feels like an adopted local act. Tonight’s #VinylAndPop is for #PkewPkewPkew’s newest LP, #OptimalLifestyles. Not only do Canadians feel like cousins to us, but #Pkewx3 have a pseudonymous Minnesotan on the cover and are inspired (and mentored) by the Twin Cities’ favorite son, Craig Finn.

“I Don’t Know Why They Call it a Pomegranate, But it Looks Like a Pomegranate.” The (People’s) Key to this #VinylAndPop is a wonderful seeded fruit. I remember my first experience with a pomegranate as a kid; it was so exotic and challenging to eat. I felt fancy and unique. Now this fruit seems to be more popular than ever. As for the music, I don’t know much about Bright Eyes. I haven’t heard anything else of Conor Oberst’s that I’ve cling to like this. I know that this final album by the band is a bit of a different direction (harder, heavier, and more electric), but I dig it all... even the weird dude who spouts conspiracy theories at an Alex Jones level of dumbness/simplicity. Lastly, I like ginger ale. Pomegranate ginger ale is possibly the best fusion of flavor added to this already solid drink. . . . #BrightEyes #ConorOberst #ThePeoplesKey #GingerAle #Pomegranate #PomegranateGingerAle #VinylIGClub

Joke about Jamaica(n Kola). Wish I were part of the London Weekender celebration, but this mini-party will have to do for the time being. . . . #TheHoldSteady #StayPositive #VinylAndPop #VinylIGClub #CraigFinn

I wouldn’t mind a horchata, but waking up to Vampire Weekend’s Contra and some Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Orangeade works for me. I mean, it’s practically orange juice, so it’s really just the perfect breakfast. . . . #VinylAndPop #VampireWeekend #Contra #CanadaDry #GibgerAleOrangeade #VinylIGClub

Seriously, I’m pretty lucky. What an awesome weekend. Great people. Great hockey. And many great memories. . . . #HockeyChangesLives #HockeyIsForEveryone

Seems appropriate to use a @theholdsteady lyric for Valentine’s Day. First Night: 12/31/17. 🎶🎶🎶 She still looks incredible But she don't look like that same girl we met On that first night 🎶🎶🎶 We’re both always changing, and ever growing. Thank you for another day to celebrate, @fearisinourminds. (I took a little liberty by using this song’s lyrics. Who cares, it’s a rad song by one of my favorite bands. And I get to remember a First Night if my own.)

Let it rattle. The 10th anniversary reissue of @yeahrightpos’ #NeverBetter is gorgeous (and vicious). I still remember picking up the CD on release date and listening to us on snowy days driving into work. . . . #Shasta #ShastaSoda #POS #Doomtree #Rhymesayers #Minnesota #VinylAndPop #VinylIGClub

Is there sugar in soda? THEN YES! . Tonight’s #VinylAndPop is from my favorite Christmas movie (tied with #ChristmasVacation), #Elf. Buddy and Jovie are awesome, and Papa Elf... Classic. . . . #ElfMovie #WillFerrell #ZooeyDeschanel #Christmas #Almdudler #VinylIGClub

Be prepared for a big 2019 on YouTube. I just filmed “Pond Olympics 2018”. The family played a Hockey-Golf combo (that was the brain-child of your’s truly) and the weather was perfect.
