was sent a pic of Bob playing in Minnesota tonight and it’s very metal / SUNN O))) coded

OH MERCY

To lose one guitarist, Mr Dylan, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness. www.nme.com/news/music/b...

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Opening was @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social with exquisite arrangements and enchanting performances. Though beat her rendition of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” my favorite moment was her delivery of the perfect-o line, “I’ll keep the copy of Blood on the Tracks / You can take Mack the Knife”

Last night saw @robynhitchcock.bsky.social performing at the Grey Eagle in Asheville. Like all his setlists, it was filled with songs about love affairs, insects, frogs, and murder.

Shit is going down in my neighborhood

Excited to embarrass my kids with this shirt!

Dylan’s World Gone Wrong liner notes are great for a million reasons but an underdiscussed one is the subtitle here. Thanks Bob. Very helpful addition.

East and west the fire will rise, baby.

I haven’t read this piece, but listening to the album now and it’s disassembling my brain; hoping the article contains instructions on how to put it back together

"Hopeful melancholy" is how David Pajo describes Slint's music, one of many insights captured on this amazing episode

Could Peloton set up a scenic ride through the Backrooms?

What’s the opposite of a supergroup? This is the most solo-band session collective ever. Stipe probably ordered them from a catalogue.

I purchased an annual membership just read this. I'm really glad you asked about the comparison between ETA IVtet and SML!
