Huge thanks to @totalvibration.bsky.social for including Whisker Fatigue here!!! 🐸🫟🧪🐈‍⬛🌑🧬🐊 www.npr.org/2025/12/30/n...

This is a public health crisis and cis people acting like it isn’t because it targets trans children primarily (even though it will affect cis children too!!) is nasty business

Everytime I listen to David Bowie I’m shaken to the core. He was an antennae if there ever was one, channeling universality - his music welcomes in those who feel lost and sees those who feel unseen. His work has changed my life

I had completely missed this. Listening now and it sounds pretty wonderful

Animal Piss, Surrender! It’s Everywhere

Can’t stop with this one. Truly one of the best from this year hothamsoundrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/birds-...

In my dream I was playing basketball with David Bowie

December 25th. The day the Fellowship departs Rivendell to destroy the One Ring. Whatever you celebrate, may you have the courage to take the first steps to defy and endure against the dark, and rekindle light into the world.

HUMBUG! To you and yours from the Christmas Bat

i’m sorry but it’s time that i showed you all the truth

Steve Reich’s ‘Come Out’ but it’s Billy Crystal saying ‘to blathe’ in the Princess Bride

Don’t forget that Bela Fleck and the Flecktones have a fairly weird Christmas album if you want to freak out your family 👹🎄

Sweet little feature from Flow State yesterday! 💜 www.flowstate.fm/p/golden-bro...

We finally learned what was on the video in Infinite Jest

Gender affirming care for trans people is safe, effective, and has a lower regret rate (4%) than almost any major medical procedure. It saves lives. These are facts. The right's talking-points are recycled "they are coming for your children!" scare tactics well over fifty years old at this point.

Starting the day with the excellent new Seabuckthorn album seabuckthorn.bandcamp.com/album/a-path...

This would not have passed if those chickenshit Dems Davis, Cellar, and Gonzalez had not voted for it. They voted to put the parents of trans youth in prison for ten years. Primary them all.

I love the manic energy of December 95 👹 relisten.net/phish/1995/1...

It took a minute to find the right title for A Wizard of Earthsea. (This text is from a letter Ursula wrote to Herman Schein and Ruth Robbins of Parnassus Press, the original publishers of A Wizard of Earthsea.)

Here's a non-exhaustive list of some things that stayed in my earholes a bit longer than others in 2025. Hope you discover something good here. ihrtn.net/2025-in-revi...

Lola found a tamale husk on our walk and was *not* about to give it up

"A shape-shifting 5-string bass that chameleons among the reeds, emerges as a slippery monosynth, and weaves through the ambient murk like a searchlight." aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/12/15/e...

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

✨👽✨ #flashback: “On the Trail” 36x24 Oil on Panel 2025. This was the ninth and final painting in my series, “On the Trail,” which tells the story of a group of pioneers headed west to follow the gold rush, only to be spirited away to a new world by nonhuman entities. #scifiart #narrativeart

Injustice makes the rules and courage breaks them.

Massive thanks to @ravensingstheblues.bsky.social for Including Whisker Fatigue in the Favorite Albums of 2025. I read RSTB for years before I ever imagined that my music would be featured there. It's an honor and trip to see WF besides so many heavy hitters from this year.

Happy new Fabiano day to all who celebrate fabianodonascimento.bandcamp.com/album/cavejaz

My hero of 2025

You may have missed this beautiful LP by Aux Meadows...now's your change to catch up to their sublime sounds...🤠🛸🧨 eiderdownrecords.bandcamp.com/album/draw-n...

Marvelously minimalist moves & grooves from Natural Information Society a few months back in Brooklyn.

The "Architects of AI" are the millions of people whose art, writing, conversations, family photographs etc have been fed into the datacenter wood chipper with zero consent let alone recompense.

Moebius, "Nighthawks"

Space Lady fans will know this great tune... if not, check it out youtu.be/BN3Kho0GDug?...
