I wrote about how my process for making music has changed over the past twenty years and six albums in my newsletter. It's pretty wild to look back and examine my quirky methodology from back in the day. cadenceweapon.substack.com/p/notes-on-p...

I sincerely regret naming my two cats Yasmin Kara-Hanani & Kiernan Shipka's Character on Industry

Look it’s simple: AI saves you the time and labor that would normally go into “thinking” so you can spend half that time laboring about whether or not AI is “thinking” like a human, and the other half of that time on Instagram Reels

'The Hangover' bit in Nirvana The Band The Show The Movie is the perfect joke. It should be in a museum. I'm laughing at it even now, right now, again

My favorite mode of jazz isn't all the way out, but stuff that's looking out from the doorway, dreamy, grounded. And this Tomeka Reid record is right in that sweet spot: heavy, in the pocket, but a full trip outofyourheadrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dance-...

One of the bosses in the Heads Only game I play in life is this 14-minute Dutch reggae cover of "Watchtower" — shouldn't even approach it if you're not properly leveled up www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ubw4...

I’ve been laid off by The Washington Post Serving as this newspaper’s pop music critic for the past 16-plus years has been my privilege, my joy Endless solidarity to my righteous colleagues, endless gratitude to our faithful readers

SATURDAY TRACKS. They're like Sunday Reviews but shorter and for songs. This week it's Eddie Stats unspooling one of Sly Dunbar's greatest. Heater on a heater pitchfork.com/reviews/trac...

Proud to share that the 2nd ever Saturday track review on @pitchfork.com is a review of "Murder She Wrote" which is really my tribute to the genius of Sly Dunbar but also a love letter to @basementbhangra.bsky.social & all the versions of Bam Bam as yet unborn: pitchfork.com/reviews/trac...

Ate hotdogs, got tiki drinks, and holed up in a snowstorm with Ratboys, who've never sounded more like their truest selves than on this album

a fascinating and excellent review that is much funnier than it has any right to be, shoutout to smart criticism imho

For the Sunday Review, I wrote about Tool, the perfect joke pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

A couple thoughts: I think the music criticism we publish is exceptional and worth paying for. I think music as an art form is inherently personal & lends itself to communal engagement and individual authority, which can live side by side. And though Pitchfork means a lot to me, it's only a website

I wrote many words about the greatest hits compilation Legend by Bob Marley pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Very proud to have doctor @ericdharvey.com on the Sunday Review talking about who shapes a legacy while writing a terrific essay on the omnipresent Bob Marley comp pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

I used to think "Tonight there's going to be a jailbreak/Somewhere in this town" was a bad lyric because, well, would't it be at the jail? But no it's an amazing lyric because it insinuates the jailbreak is NOT at the jail, therefore making it inherently figurative. That's Irish excellence for you.

For my last major piece of 2025, I wrote about @ad93rec.bsky.social as @pitchfork.com's label of the year pitchfork.com/features/lis...

Hard to find a good cabal these days. Every cabal I'm in is either too shadowy or not nearly shadowy enough.

Every year I'm saved by one album that is so rewarding on a kinetic, intellectual, and spiritual level — and for me it was Elly and Josh's masterpiece. I hope you can find some time to surrender to its power, it's monumental.

a laudably weird list; what these things should be pitchfork.com/features/lis...

I think I've commissioned and edited about 400 Sunday Reviews now. This is another good one from @cushac.bsky.social, about some freaks who elicit some very unexpected pathos. Cheers to those who read every week. pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

So far I am getting a perverse thrill out of staring blankly at every episode of 'I Love L.A.' It's like the show is telegraphing that every character will be tortured and killed by the Saw guy if you keep watching long enough.

If you pitch up "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" one half step you can reharmonize the opening solos to a major key if you play it over Low's "2 Step." This is how I do fall music now, this is how deep I need to go to feel it.

Chotiner: And Jeremy bought this RCA cable how long ago? My Sweetwater sales rep: 56 months Chotiner: Say it in years. My Sweetwater sales rep: What? Chotiner: How many years ago did he buy the RCA cable? My Sweetwater sales rep: I like to keep in touch with my clients! Chotiner: 4 and a half years

I am in the process rebuilding my entire mind and body to make room for a newfound love of deep house. Deciding what stays, what goes… the culling of old artifacts of former selves. This is the greatest feeling of being a human

For Halloween I went as my horrific insatiable desire to make a joke about singing “keys, phone, watch, wallet” to the tune of Nitzer Ebb’s “Join In the Chant”

The prime and primordial Jack DeJohnette tune with some sick shredding from everyone here, beast mode but so musical www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAFl...

Chotiner: And you're against vinyl reissues on principle? Me: Yes. No, it depends. If they're using the original stampers that's fine. Chotiner: So you've verified all your matrix runouts? Me: I mean on Discogs. Chotiner: And you don't own any vinyl rip reissues of private press jazz? Me: Now Isaac—

I wrote about Joanna Newsom's 'Divers' a decade ago just as I was falling in love again, and still feel kind of dizzy thinking about the hallucinogenic, rapturous state that record put me in, captured pretty accurately by this www.jeremydlarson.com/blog/2015/11...

There exists a kind of gentile performance when sharing a song you like with other people. It's always like "I know you've probably heard this before but..." before I send someone a YouTube of a shitty vinyl rip of a Dutch techno song uploaded 9 years ago with only 24 views

Man, I remember hopping on the phone with Kaleb for this piece and thinking, "Oh you write almost exactly how you talk." He was so thoughtful & cared about his truth, his blue and funny vision of the world. Loved this piece, one of his many great accomplishments in life pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

I think it's romantic to grade papers or catch up on some emails on Sunday while watching the game—smacks of Victorian leisure somehow
