It's been a good year for dad rock.

I might even be able to scrape together a top ten list before the end of the year.

People who like Tom Petty like the new Tom Petty album.

Jeff Tweedy put out an album with his kid, right?

Oh yeah I guess it doesn't get more dad rock than that.

I was pretty happy about getting to see Richard Thompson for free at Millennium Park.  Lots of people there were indeed dads or maybe just old enough to be dads.

This documentary is about as dad-centric as they come:

I watched the first part of that and I think I might watch the rest but first I'd like some assurance that Harry Shearer doesn't get too much screentime.

New Aphex Twin is electronic dad rock

Gonna have a huge dad rock playlist set up for 6 months from now.

Congratulations Michael!

Thanks Reub. Married for 8 yrs. Time to do the next thing.

Congratulations! It's hard to tell through the internet but I get the sense that everyone on here who has children would probably be a great father. I have the same sense about your character.

That's awesome. Well done Michael K.

*raises glass of superiour but subtle California wine. Red or white, doesn't matter*

Yeah, congratulations.

Back on topic. I just read in The Reader (the one with Jason Molina on the cover) that there's a new Robert Plant album out. It sounds interesting enough that I might remember to look it up on Spotify.

Congrats Michael k!

Thanks, Soma. I'm really excited. Thought I'd be conflicted about this when the time came - even though we were intentional in our efforts ( ) - but that hasn't been the case at all. 100% enthused.

Congrats and good luck, Miguel! You're crushing it.

cheers! this evening when i go out to a previously planned dinner with some friends and order a really nice beer, because i was already going to do that, i'll raise my glass 10% higher tonight in your honor.

Sterling work old chap.

I finally listened to the last Iron & Wine album last night and decided I never need to bother with that dude again, dad or not.
