To wit... www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/m...

I reviewed Yeat's "ADL." www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Dan Hurley lol...NCAA men's basketball coaches swear they the ones balling on the court.

Rest in peace to DJ Dan.

One of the techniques that RS writers use to subtly critique their predecessors and show how the publication has evolved is by quoting from past reviews and articles. I've done it myself. I wonder if readers notice? This is from the Laura Nyro piece that was published today.

I'm going to start sharing more music stuff here that's not rap. The Minutemen's "Take Our Test" got a lot of play from teenage me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5f-...

New today: @reveleth.com has spent over 10 years obsessed with so-called “gender verification” tests. Proponents claim they have history and science on their side. They don’t. www.coyotemedia.org/the-olympics...

I still have "The Maxx" animated series on my hard drive.

(reads dozens of angry comments, tears up) I still got it, y’all…

Uh…Sun Ra died in 1993. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

With Trump in Memphis today, I want to reshare this investigation from several months ago— How did his Memphis Safe Task Force change the city? Locals compare the atmosphere to 1930s Germany. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Lol…I went on Threads to say Jay-Z isn’t a great live performer, and now his stans are going after me. I guess I’m happy about the engagement?

Black ICE…agent.

Rap fashion trend of the 20s that never seems to go away: balaclavas.

The Platner situation reminds me of former SF sheriff Ross Mirkarimi. Even after he was charged with domestic violence, some locals continued to support him. It was one of the more pathetic examples of Bay Area lefties refusing to clean house. (Feel free to add Aaron Peskin to this group, too.)

This was an incredible time for Bay Area hip hop. Solesides/Quannum (Blackaliscious, Lyrics Born, DJ Shadow and Lateef) were big then too. And DJ Icewater was putting out the best mixtapes

(shrugs) It’s cool. I’m sure I’ll still be alive by then.

Flashback to 2022 Dubs championship…

Hey, fuck it, happy St. Patrick’s Day.

Peace to all the breeders out there…

One of the most illuminating experiences I’ve had on social media is seeing scholars, intellectuals and journalists that I truly admire – people that often have multiple degrees – post the kind of dumb, reactive opinions that have none of the nuance they strive for in their best written work.

Okay, that was really cool.

I love laughing at all the corny jokes in the Oscars ceremonies.

Oakland.

That’s enough Avengers, thanks

Superstar is the best song Beach House has ever made. www.reddit.com/r/BeachHouse...

Today on HotNewHipHop...

I almost balked at Navy Blue's prices this morning, but I couldn't help myself.

Debating if I should even bother looking at Westside Gunn's drop for "Flygod's" 10th anniversary tomorrow...

🙏🙏🙏

I could probably do numbers with this on Threads…

The cringiest line in Uncle L’s career inspired the cringiest song in UGK’s career.

Still not ready to weigh in on rap’s so-called “internet underground”…

Not enough talk about Melvin Van Peebles on this goddamn site…

Reposted with alt: But also, what world lets these type of assholes into these positions. How many look away when they should say something? How many see and heard of this and just ignored it and gave money to him or uplifted him? For what?

If I had to name one reason why my friends are suspicious of “electronic music” critics, this comment about “non-dancing me” would be a good start.

Maybe it was "IKEA techno" (I like Kompakt, btw)... www.villagevoice.com/ikea-techno-...

I wonder if it was real techno or "business techno" that made Noma's René Redzepi punch his intern in the ribs...https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/dining/rene-redzepi-noma-abuse-allegations.html

I wonder if the slurred way that Syd Barrett sang "Maisie" was inspired by HAL 2000 singing "Daisy Bell" while it was being deprogrammed in "2001"...

Meanwhile, on Threads…

as maggie has clarified, this is not a bandcamp fundraiser. the site itself (my ex-employer) no longer does fundraisers. this is a bikini kill thing. :)

Demoted, not fired. And yes, an accurate description is important.

after only allowing me to listen to the edited version of The Score, my dad got me The Carnival for xmas and I became a man (it was wrapped in a big box with a wrench as a prank)

Shooooogaaaaaazzzze

I've read far too many hagiographies about The Source's classic era (1988-1994) over the years. But this stands out for its honesty as well as its mixture of well-earned pride and nagging regret.

One of my (least) favorite themes of the past few years is when Team Blue and other institutionalists embrace minor villains who realized they weren’t villainous enough for the main villain.

Still trying to imagine how RZA came up with “Stroke of Death”…

The sword of Damocles is drawing closer…
