New Music from Juana Molina: DOGA Check it out on the Tape Log! tapeop.com/blog/2025/11...

A satisfying watch www.youtube.com/shorts/ultgo...

"Indie" was once an abbreviation of "independent." Signifying "creative expression untethered to corporate influence." Integrity. I'm told it now just means "annoying, privileged white people." Bummer www.youtube.com/shorts/os3KKz8fYr4 www.tiktok.com/@joshwellerjoshweller/video/7438992932100705568

It is hilarious to me how little of this video I understand — I've never been a vary technical person — but the Shelford diode bridge compressor is pretty much my favorite thing in the world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV6OW0fKIcE

This feels like a major event to me.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Hey, there’s a brand new Paul Myers Overshare, and in it I share another new demo, this time it’s a song called “(I’m So Sick Of) Living Through History.”

Audio-Only Version:

I had a fun time chatting with Anthony Merchant on The Power Chord hour talking about the new ‘Let It Be’ Deluxe Edition from The Replacements out later this month and other mastering related things:

My bandmate Devin's wife Renata is a lovely Brazilian woman. I like her a lot. She's also a very straightforward about her feelings. Does not pull punches. At a show, she recently came up to me and was like "Chad, what's going on with the new BP album?" I thought she was coming down on me. [1/?]

There is a lot of wisdom on so many levels in this article. It touches on loss of identity after being fired, how writing keeps some of us sane, and the disgusting purge of racialized, progressive voices from mainstream media.

NYC this Friday -- A rare trio concert by Henry Threadgill, Dafnis Prieto, and me! www.92ny.org/event/henry-...

Recently discovered that my mom’s 1970s book “How To Get Along With Black People” is archived and presented in the Smithsonian’s African American History Museum. I haven’t told her yet.

I don’t have a lot to say about “Pluribus” except I basically like it and I’m curious where it’s going. I trust Vince Gilligan as an artist and I think Rhea Seehorn is brilliant. I love that he’s staked the entire vision on her talent. I love their love, basically. Thumbs up from me so far.

Watching “Pluribus.”

I have seen this clip many times and it always gives me a good feeling.

It's going to drop 30 degrees in the next 48 hours. East TN Harm Reduction will be dropping off items to our houseless neighbors. Please help if you can:

Still no vinyl edition of new Juana Molina album. 😬

Western Blot's 4th album Ivy (as in a phonetic pronunciation of roman numeral 'IV') was released 4 years ago today. some songs i'm really proud of on there, this song is in a completely ridiculous time signature, 23/16 or something. westernblot.bandcamp.com/track/strang...

Ha! Nice try!

These people need to be fucking STOPPED.

Good things can happen

I’m on a @solobasssteve.bsky.social release! Recorded live in Newcastle earlier this month. What a joy to play with Steve!

I'm just reading the news and hang on, there's a NEW York?

I recognize wishful thinking is a factor here, but I don’t see Trump living more than another year.

I just think it’s cool when someone who isn’t an elderly racist wins

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

The lesson here is have good principles and stand on them. Stand for something that isn't power!

“Hope is alive.” Amen.

A promise is a promise, Alan

Tomorrow Trump will exact revenge. He’s trying to figure out the nastiest thing he can do right now. You know it. I know it.

Winsome Earle-Sears, please slither back into your hole. Every black conservative is a fucking clown.

Someone I love is currently texting me from an active shooter lockdown in Charlottesville. I hate this fucking country sometimes.

Life changing album for me. I gave a lecture on it for the Essential Tremors’ Selector series in Baltimore. At some point, Lee Gardner discreetly signaled for me to shut up and let the record play. 😂

Your life is worse off because too many white people hate Black people.

Seriously: Fuck Snoop forever. Dead to me.

What's the price of your groceries? All good?

My Bluesky feed is now 100% baseball.

Thinking about how Cuomo is so racist he sometimes double ice backfires it like Sub-Zero

geddy lee claps for the blue jays in 7/4 time

The lyric “I been 10,000 miles in the mouth of a graveyard” was a big influence on my writing. I never sit and account for my writing influences, but that was a big one.

Watching “A Complete Unknown.” Into it, so far.
