oh geez I don't love this Geese record so far "Cobra" sounds like something I'd hear in the car with my parents on a classic rock station but I wouldn't even think to shazam it "Husbands" sounds like the AOR playing on the automatic rotation on my college radio station after my show ended

I FINALLY LIKE A WEDNESDAY ALBUM

loved this band so much!!

Messy by Lola Young is the only pop song to actually GROW on me the more it's overplayed

Tarsem, signing on to make Mirror Mirror:

I love when an artist I believed in levels up and comes out with SOTY material -- this is a better Florence song than "Everybody Scream" and the best Sam Fender song he's furious he didn't write sorely needed song www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Nfy...

I'm seeing people say I was too mean AND too nice I did get meaner than I would like because I'm writing for p4k, and yeah I probably should have brought up Trench more bc it's more like that than Blurryface, but this is the most ???? reaction I've gotten for a review even more than Billie

As long as I’ve written for Pitchfork (six years!) I’ve wanted to dive into the enigma known as Twenty One Pilots. Meeting this band on their terms is like the final boss of poptimism, and I believe I was up to the task pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

the new Twenty One Pilots album is the Breaking Dawn Part 2 of music (complimentary)

Dust Bunny's AI poster is uncanny valley and depressing, especially because they already had a perfectly good one on the right (that... might also be AI but at least it's effective)

Springsteen was listening to a lot of post-punk while writing Nebraska so it makes sense this sounds like a Preoccupations song www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YNu...

brb filling out my Lindsay Ellis apology form not a perfect video but genuinely thought-provoking and well-researched in a way most YouTube stuff isn’t, even the stuff that presents itself as intellectual

Emerald Fennell is a fanfic writer that escaped and became a director

a little annoying to read an otherwise great essay on womanhood where the writer has never talked to a trans woman (believe me, it doesn’t need to be me, I’ve been there and it’s like talking to a brick wall) just because society says womanhood is limiting doesn’t mean it inherently is gahhhh

learned about the “lost media”’ search for the Backyardigans pilot and losing my mind why are grown men searching for the Backyardigans pilot why is a grown man breaching the Nickelodeon servers and calling himself the Backyardigans Oracle why is there espionage involved

I kinda love this Sabrina Carpenter album as a post-success-crashout record if anything it's about how exhausting heterofatalism is and I love that

I'm about to release a song and it sounds EXACTLY like this thing that came out in April but I hadn't heard it until today lmao after95.bandcamp.com/track/300-dr...

listening to my 2020 playlist while working because that's the last time I did stuff with constant dread hanging over

Reposting this for no reason hannahjocelyn.medium.com/sympathy-for...

It’s cool that the fundamental experience of my generation is being just barely old enough to aspire to do creative stuff that we saw other generations get to do and then be told over and over and over again no one cares about that anymore, and that it’s somehow young people’s fault

PSA: I am not the New Yorker Hannah Jocelyn

Aubrey Hobert album is good! it's like rewatching a Disney sitcom and being surprised at how many jokes hold up she's not as funny as she thinks she is but she's just funny enough to get away with it

It’s been a while but I’m finally back on my bullshit!! For my first ever RA feature, I got to spend some time with James K for the Art of Production series 🌀🔊🔮 We talked about art school, Abelton, her incredible new album, and - of course - David Lynch. ra.co/features/4409

Every song I make sounds a little like Over My Head (Cable Car) and I've made peace with that

some people were talking about the mix on this album and wtf what do you MEAN Catherine Marks and Alan Moulder worked on this www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed0R...

Jason IsCarillon

We’re doing hard-won hetero-optimism in 2025!!!!

so you know how Final Reckoning is kind of underwhelming, too bogged down in lore to emotionally resonate, but finally locks in at the last half hour? anyway this Ethel Cain album -

my favorite thing about this is how the “it goes like this” line breaks scanscion and right after that there’s “whoops, minor error, purported fix” GPT couldn’t come up with that 😤

the other site is having discourse on stomp clap and I'm glad I'm not there anymore otherwise I'd be halfway through a thinkpiece about it

these Wolf Alice singles are so good (like GOOD good not just Hannah-indie-landfill-cool) www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKVO...

I called it Epic Sad Guy Music in my review but I prefer "These Fucking Guys"

everything that we think we know is wrong, everything that we think we know is right ⚖️ ‘stripe’ video out now

Chappell Roan made gay Somewhere Only We Know and I love it shocked at how well it works, but oh my god where is the low end, can we give Dan Nigro and Mitch McCarthy subwoofers please

Together is at a 3.5 and started off at a 3.8, 3.6 when I logged it if they had marketed it as a trashy stupid Blumhouse thing I would be a lot more forgiving of its flaws (it’s pretty funny!) but Neon gave it the prestige ultra scary horror treatment and that’s why it’s disappointing

One of the most frustrating parts of this anti trans backlash is that we're missing out on valuable research time about real trans medical issues because we devote all our time, money, and effort into trying to convince people who are paid to never be convinced that our normal care should be allowed

Me: apparently I like horror movies now? Dad: to what do you attribute to this… transition Me: I think you just answered it

now that Hulk’s gone can we bring back Gawker and the entirety of journalism please

I really, really did not like Together letterboxd.com/hannahjocely...

Wrote about the album and artist behind the #1 song in America. This was so fun to write! pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

have complicated feelings on this because side effects are real and women have the right to do what they want with their own bodies, but backlash against hormonal contraception is undoubtedly part of a wider anti-feminist trend trying to convince women that progress has actually been bad for them

Since things are obviously a bit crazy right now, and I don't know what comes next, donations are appreciated (but not expected). Still down $500 to make rent for the month ko-fi.com/acvalens

My friend Ana just left Waypoint after the ownership group censored her journalism. She could use our help now.

i wish i had the power or the money to like hire thousands of out of work journalists and put them (us?) to work doing what we do best ie chipping and scraping at the lies people in power tell. horse race commenters not welcome

the ending of the Misery section relies a little too much on a single anecdotal case for my liking but I’m really impressed by this video essay (a wild thing to say in 2025)

Eliza McLamb's new song "Like The Boys" made me think about a lot of things so here's a little essay about it transientpeak.ghost.io/something-i-...

Best joke in the movie

I have so many questions (complimentary)

I’m still thinking about the “1A! 1A!” bit in Superman unfortunately I grew up with the MCU so the good superhero stuff has a place in my heart despite my better judgement
