All I'm gonna say about the WH meeting that just happened is the Glamor Bard with max charisma stat rolled a natural 20.

That’s it, that’s what makes this song THIS SONG RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LcO...

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Frankenstein is a metaphor for the dangers of reanimating corpses with electricity

trust is neither given nor earned. it forms naturally between people who share the experience of having listened to Skinny Puppy at or after 3 am in the dark by themselves

My favorite comment on the FT story

The Unwound show tonight was very necessary

50 years ago: Bowie completes the filming of "The Man Who Fell to Earth," with the last scene shot at Butterfields restaurant, on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. An image from the scene later appears in The Defenders, No. 52 (Oct 1977, Kraft/Giffen/Stone)

I’ve decided there’s only one song I’m listening to from here on out and it’s this soundcloud.com/constellatio...

is that what i think it is

CORMAC MCCARTHY: He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die. JOE ROGAN: sure. I've met guys like that

Chris Cuomo posting a deepfake of AOC the same week that Jim Acosta “interviews” a deepfake of a school shooting victim are both harbingers of how traditional media power players will help usher in the worst of the AI slop era

earnestness is punk rock. libraries are punk rock. cleaning up litter is punk rock. everything is punk rock except making loud fast music that annoys your neighbors

The Rolling Stone guides were a crash course for tween me on music history, and sure enough instilled a warped view of what was “good” that changed when teen me was blown away after hearing “The Man Who Sold the World” (★★ according to RS)

Is this the fastest-spreading meme ever?

“Where Are We Now” is of my favorite Bowie tracks, and Blixa Bargeld’s plaintive cover is doing all kinds of things with my emotions right now blixabargeld.bandcamp.com/album/blixa-...

Yesterday’s haul

one of the best DB anecdotes is from Donny McCaslin & Tim Lefebvre, who said he loved the "musicless" version of the video & would play it for them in the studio, while cracking up www.youtube.com/watch?v=_li_...

See now that’s how you get people back on Twitter

One of my favorite new projects. The sooner you check it out the better, because it’s only going to get harder the more that 10k horizon comes into view

Was not ready to see this today at my weekly Waterloo Records excursion

Those oompa loompas don’t break character

Fifty years ago this week, Brian Eno recorded “Discreet Music” using a synthesizer with on-board memory, along with a graphic equalizer, an echo unit, and two tape recorders. andrew.ghost.io/40-french-ca...

Read this as White House at first and I guess that’s where we are in twenty twenty five

If you’ve never seen the perfectly described “nightmare sprint” medley of songs Bowie duetted on Cher’s variety show, well I am here to greatly improve or ruin your afternoon www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivSY...

Been obsessed with this song for the past couple of months enmossed.bandcamp.com/track/secret...

Back in 1991, David Bowie went to the Pixies/Pere Ubu show at Oberlin College. And the student newspaper the Oberlin Review interviewed him! So great.

I am enjoying the America’s Test Kitchen reality cooking contest that’s hosted by people who are far too nice to know how to run a reality cooking contest

The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it knows it was called Music for Lovers

Over in the newsletter this week, I almost didn’t hear the new (amazing) album by HxH because I heard one of the songs out of order, and it didn’t make any sense. But once I heard the whole thing, it clicked, and it was so worth it andrew.ghost.io/37-a-giant-w...

Rick Wakeman from 4:39 to 5:16 in “And You and I” is the only thing getting me through right now For reference: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwpB...

It all depends on how desperate someone is, say, to avoid paying taxes or, idk, stay out of prison

Honestly thought this was McSweeney’s right at first and was prepared for a good time but yeah no nope

Late night listening doesn’t get much better than this, mellow and darkly soothing

Hey Senator I thought you should know there’s some asshole out here making stupid posts under your name

This is not a drill seefeel.bandcamp.com/album/quique...

David and David, 1973 & 1974. And both gone now.

Birthday gift certificate put to good use

I’m obsessing over this song—headphones recommended! sa-pa.bandcamp.com/track/captigon

Roses are red Go talk to your bookie

Sad to see how a couple years ago one of them won that Herculaneum scrolls challenge (using AI to decipher them)

Garlic noodles you say?

Helping my son with his science project where he has to cite sources including the CDC and NIH websites sure is something today
