Does anyone else feel a profound sense of unease whenever they are surrounded by large groups of people feeling the same thing? This could be an autistic thing.

Thanks to this reporter for reporting what t* actually says, instead of sanitizing and propping him up through fantasy editing. The fact that he is incapable of coherent thought matters. Also fuck everything he has ever said or will ever say about autism.

I am all for the return of adult social clubs! Especially in this current age when social media is more or less dying and the Internet is being overrun by AI slop.

I started the day today by opening a dozen tabs with records people have recommended and intended to spend the day listening to them. Five hours later I am still scrolling on this app. It must be a heartbreaking fake holiday that fills me with sorrow and anger.

1985 to 2026 time warp process is complete: I just had a 7 year old student say his favorite song is Money For Nothing, and I showed him the video and he thought it was Minecraft.

Squaresville music question: I just heard the strokes for the first time. Are they a legit rock band or a bunch of candy-asses? They just sound like a velvets ripoff to me, one of the most softball moves you can pull, but the energy is really heavy on the tune I heard.

When my best friend died, I started saying "do what?" in place of "beg your pardon?" like the 'necks do down south where I grew up and nobody has ever noticed. It's been six years-- doesn't at least one of you people know I don't really say that?

Produced by John Simon-- evidently the bass and tambourine are o-dubs on a master with two guitars and voice. Really cool how the tambourine plays a rhythm that is only implied in the guitars. Really good guitar playing on here-- Gordon Lightfoot is a total badass. youtu.be/DeAkoakbmVA?...

The wolf is literally always the star of every red riding hood book.

I played this for the kids in my high school uke ensemble and when I turned around when it was over all of them were crying. I was also crying. youtu.be/hYwYas3wMFs?...

I just had to teach the first two bars of a song by someone named t*ler childers called feathered indians. In addition to being v bad it is also racist in a way only a song written by a white suburban yuppie outlaw country debutante could be. whites off earth now.

It's odd to have bootleg nostalgia, but this series and Unsurpassed Masters were regarded as the pirate Criterion Collection once upon a time

Or this, even. Come on, 20-40 year-olds. youtu.be/t590jjWEJ5s?...

Can anybody hip me to any artists born after 1990 who sound like these guys? This sound cannot be the exclusive province of people born in the Nixon administration or earlier. youtu.be/fYls57rc4tE?...

Have been listening to the first four pere ubu records, the fall, wire, etc. and it is amazing how literally all of that stuff started with captain beefheart. Baddest mf of all time. The instrument sounds on this are so killer. And the coolest part only happens once. youtu.be/lKOGgH40d_0?...

They could so easily have hired one of the 80 billion fantasy artists that are currently living. I will never understand this. That would have been cool. This is trash.

Please, keep your jokes to yourself; a magicians performance was interrupted, nobody is in the mood to laugh

what they should have done is attach cables to him like in the broadway show of Peter Pan so he can fly away to safety and it will look like jesus did it. Also I feel so sorry for everyone who has to pay attention to this and try to figure it out and talk about it to each other, etc.

there is going to be years of your life in the future where you dont hear or read a post of someone doing a donald trump impression. you are never going to see a political cartoon where he is a squat little orange guy with the long red tie again. green grass and blue sky stretching on forever

This is so fucking boring.

so many people who don't read for pleasure have control over what and how children learn to read

I have never watched one microsecond of this show, and this article articulates why. Very heavy.

Look for the helpers

Can I get an AMEN from everyone who had this staring down at them from their bedroom wall? #pinkfloyd #DSOTM

DEADLINE MAY 3! Guerilla Opera announces another summer of Libretto Labs! Come learn about libretto writing and creating an opera scene, lyrics for a musical, or for a song cycle in one or both of our 2 summer sessions. All the details at

especially since most people on the right haven't read a single one of them and therefore don't understand how in almost every case they are really not

Childfree Boomers and Gen Xers will never get our due. 😆😭 "We were the few! The proud!"

@graceemiya.bsky.social I played this for a student today and I noticed two YT comments: 1) evidently he's really saying "fuckin' notion" but MGM made him change it. 2) "when you are 17 the velvet underground is the best thing that can happen to you". best two YT comments of all time.

Drove by a record store today and saw a bunch of balding people with scoliosis and jean shorts standing in line out front at 9 am. Must be record store day. 15 people in a fistfight over a $60 scruffy the cat reissue on zebra striped vinyl.

God I love yellow. It reminds me of my favorite things. Math books.

NBD just a HQ recording of Robert Johnson's Cross Road Blues test pressing made from metal plates in 1940. youtu.be/gmnNi8oPsrQ?...

The oldest working astronomical clock installed in 1410, Prague.

These guys are a serious contender for best band of all time. youtu.be/iZhIakk44Pc?...

Canadians, do you also get "Taking Care Of Business" stuck in your head every year when you do your taxes?

Attn: catholics and catholic apologists: until they decide to hire one who will stand up against child rape, there is no such thing as a good pope. For shame.

I have a serious procedural question here: who is paying for the doordash mcdonalds? Does the president have to buy his own lunch like the rest of us who are just people with jobs? Somehow I doubt it.

Me to the organization that sexually abuses children on an industrial scale with the full cooperation of leadership, and works tirelessly to strip women and trans people of healthcare: you go girl!

You cannot make me hand it to the Catholic Church, one of the most destructive and vicious organizations in world history, but if this is what turns Christians against him, fine

Can any of my music head friends help me out with this? I'm losing my shit about Snail Mail-- is there more stuff out there from kids that is this good? youtu.be/8yLPU0BEfTM?...

If this isn’t enough to convince you that he’s a traitorous menace, remember that he’s a pedophile also

This week I talk about the importance of speaking your non-English languages as a way to protect the non-English-speaking in your communities. It is a protection strategy and a sign of sincere appreciation.

Does anyone else wonder about the orig sociological details around a group or record? I'm really into the 4th Amon Duul II right now and am really curious re the culture surrounding it. Same with the first Gilbert O'Sullivan. I know how they hit now, but what did they mean then? Context is different
