This is really fucking important. @tonygroves.bsky.social told me about this today. Fontaines and Massive Attack fired their agent for trying to blacklist Kneecap. DEMAND THIS from artists you like and spent money on

Wildfires are making glaciers retreat faster, but not how you might think. Instead of the heat from the flames melting the glacier, the smoke is darkening the snow and ice. This causes the glacier surface to absorb more energy from the sun and melt faster. @kristendejager.bsky.social reports. 🗻🔥

For the June edition of @thegrindto.bsky.social's "What We're Listening To," I wrote about the Iranian pop of Niloo and the spooky surf-rock of East Coast ensemble Penny and the Pits. Read the full list by @newfeelingcoop.bsky.social at www.thegrindmag.ca/what-were-li...

We’re kicking off our First Timers Club series with Vancouver hardcore unit Emma Goldman, a feral blend of screamo chaos and BPM-blasting electronics. From DIY roots to Sled Island debut, they’re ready to connect, rage, and sweat it out with Calgary. 🖤 ⁣ Full Q&A online now:

Wrote about the sizzling, psychedelic noise-rock of Lethbridge's SENTRIES for the June edition of @exclaimdotca.bsky.social's New Faves. Catch SENTRIES at Music Waste Festival on June 6. exclaim.ca/music/articl...

Wrote about Lambrini Girls.

In just over a week we'll be at Lawyna Vawnya in St. John's, running this panel: "Wired for Sound, Rooted in Community: Building Artistic Careers Beyond Your City" RSVP link here: www.lawnyavawnya.com/event-detail...

T.A.C.K. are a ramshackle punk duo from New Orleans who smash trash can lids, model themselves after dads who hang out in front of Tractor Supply, and found each other through a mutual love of the Gories and Country Teasers. Now on see/saw, a conversation in NOLA with Willie Archambeault.

Wrote about a show I never thought I'd get a chance to see.

Lambrini Girls Pulled No Punches in Vancouver

Lambrini Girls, Party Dozen, and PISS's show at the Pearl last night was an expression of community care. My review for @exclaimdotca.bsky.social: exclaim.ca/music/articl...

I spoke with Alaina Moore of Tennis for Northern Transmissions. The Denver pop duo’s seventh/final album ‘Face Down in the Garden’ and demos/rarities collection ‘Neutral Poetry’ are out now via the band’s own label, Mutually Detrimental. northerntransmissions.com/tennis-take-...

they chased the threat of their territory and protected their own people, they warned the next people they think might be in danger, offer their knowledge and help and when that's refused a nice, "okay! it's been real, have a nice life, I'm going home" and i respect that so hard

i'm trying to think of why i'm so pleased with how Indigenous people were included in Sinners when the Choctaw were there so briefly and I think I've mostly landed on bc it feels like an act of solidarity to be included in the landscape of America and represented like sensible people

I had a wonderful chat with @amymillan.bsky.social (@youarestars.bsky.social, Broken Social Scene) about family, intentional friendships, being born a certain age, and more. Her new album, 'I Went To Find You,' is out May 30 via @lastgangent.bsky.social: northerntransmissions.com/amy-millan-i...

I have completely deleted my Duolingo. I was informed by one of my kids that the company has removed most of its employees and 70% of the company is run by AI. I urge everyone to delete their app.

This is an astoundingly good interview. The LA Port Director explains very clearly how profoundly trade is coming to a screeching halt. This summer will be tough.

What I’m trying to say [now]…

Hello! Starting this summer I will be the new EIC at Maisonneuve, as @nourabinakhoul.bsky.social heads to Shanghai to work on her second novel. Thanks to Nour and Jen Varkonyi for bringing me on board - and if you're interested in writing for the mag, let's chat :) maisonneuve.org/news/2025/05...

My wonderful back catalog of music is still available through this convenient web site: trashtronix.bandcamp.com

I interviewed Norwegian multidisciplinary artist Jenny Hval about her fragrance-inspired new album, Iris Silver Mist, out today via @4ad.com. For Northern Transmissions. northerntransmissions.com/the-sense-me...

Last time I checked my landlord still won't accept "exposure bucks" 🤷‍♂️ 🙄 "Duboff’s argument is that because Spotify is “the most engaging service, the calculated per-stream rate is lower”.

Realized I'm reading Fire Weather on the nine-year anniversary of the Fort McMurray wildfire.

🟩🟩🟦🟦🟨🟨 🧵➿🔌 Our 22nd issue, CIRCUITRY, is here! newfeeling.ca/issue-22-cir... 🎨by @tombeedham.bsky.social and @therewasnosound.bsky.social

Ticketmaster added this dialog box to its resale tix for sold out shows. It’s a welcome clarification but funny that it doesn’t mention that Ticketmaster also charges a second round of fees for tickets resold above face value.

Today feels like a hell of a day to ensure that the worker owned outlets, the independent presses and the small creators we like have material support and are able to continue doing the labour that we all benefit from.

someone who is better at image sourcing please do a deep dive on this: -whomst made it -is it AI assisted -hulk hogan body?

for the latest issue of @newfeelingcoop.bsky.social, i spoke with Sarah Davachi about listening, and how as both a compositional and relational practice, it disrupts the idea of a solo artist as someone who is isolated or cordoned off from the world. newfeeling.ca/2025/04/30/q...

What could go wrong

When @newfeelingcoop.bsky.social dreamed up CIRCUITRY, we were thinking about how we're plugged in—how tech connects us. Iss. 22 is about sound+tech, but it’s also about intimacy, invention, and resistance newfeeling.ca/issue-22-cir... proud to have worked w @therewasnosound.bsky.social on the art!

Out today: @newfeelingcoop.bsky.social Issue #22: "Circuitry." Featuring: Escobutt, BIG | BRAVE, Sarah Davachi, Bside Radio, Red Gate, and more! newfeeling.ca/issue-22-cir...

For anyone aware of the tragedy at Vancouver Lapu Lapu festival, here's a thread of GoFundMe's available to help support the many victims. (copy pasted from my friend 'J' in the Vancouver Filipino community) 🧵
