I love Alexis Taylor's new album because I would listen to that guy sing the phone book but I am rendered dumbstruck by the fact that he has returned to the very silly Stevie Wonder joke he first used 22 years ago genius.com/Alexis-taylo...

I wish OOIOO was playing NY

If you would like to hear something really interesting, listen to the first cut on this album and bear in mind I believe this is just guitar

great interview with Kristina Warren about the new Gold Bolus album Tusk is up over at @foxydigitalis.bsky.social foxydigitalis.zone/2026/04/09/k...

I am very excited to be in conversation with @jefftobias.bsky.social on April 22 in a location I always thought we'd one day discuss music streaming in a public interest technology context: the World Trade Center Oculus www.eventbrite.com/e/sonic-spac...

That shit ruined my day

holy smokes

Hitler's Early Paintings: A Critical Assessment Sponsored by Pepsi

The LLM takeover has made everything in computing so loosey-goosey. "Maybe it will work. Empirically, there's a good probability...". This is not what interested me about computing. Of course, sometimes it does work, which is magic. I am just a curmudgeon who doesn't like magic.

A strange and unexpected experience I've had recently is a dramatic shift in my feelings towards an artist who I used to worship and now I sort of can't stand (Elvis Costello)

I've returned to @andrewhickey.500songs.com's podcast and have since learned that Curtis Mayfield tuned his guitar to a weird open tuning based on the black keys of the piano, which almost makes the very strange riff on this album cut make sense www.youtube.com/watch?v=upZ5...

My emotional reaction to current events has returned to a primal state, I'm not saying anyone would want to listen to how I feel about it, but this feels right to me as a listener myself www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtdD...

When I heard Sean Penn wasn't at the show to accept his award I was like "motherfucker's probably in Ukraine" he is!

This is true and it's rarely discussed

Phil Collins slowed and reverb youtube videos are the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions.

RIP Carlos Ward (1940-2026) Sadly, I have yet to see a proper obituary anywhere (& he died in mid-January), but here is a good remembrance

This is nice www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm7K...

I'm Keir Starmer

"that's the way it is" is trump at his finest. i love those moments where you can see he understands he needs to strike a solemn and somber tone. you can see him reach around in the bag but since he is both incredibly dumb and also doesnt give a shit, he just dredges up random words

I contributed to this wonderful compilation to help send funds to aid those suffering under the fascist siege in Minneapolis. I have few regrets in life but forgetting to change this track's very stupid working title may prove to be one of them adelynstrei.bandcamp.com/album/music-...

Last night we were watching a documentary about folk music and Tobi was hating on Leonard Cohen so hard she said "he sounds like Jandek"

During my 20s I lived a five minute walk from a Huddle House which was a chain that was transparently exactly like Waffle House. I used to go there at night to read when I couldn't sleep. One night I was reading a book about the end of the Civil War (1/x)

We desperately need to bring back shame

My longtime personal aim is to never adopt new neologisms or slang, call nothing "pilled" or "coded" even as these words attempt to invade my speech via cultural osmosis. It'll all pay off in 30 years when I'm old and speak like the mid-21st century equivalent of Mark Twain or Van Dyke Parks

I'm finding solace in posting my mundane thoughts about music because all of my political thoughts violate the terms of service

I've been on a huge Scott Walker kick and I figured I'd find some groovy large ensemble arrangements on YouTube but I didn't count on witnessing this spareness www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj1W...

Massive deep dive with the GOAT Charles Hayward. Psyched to read this

"At its best art reminds us of the possibility of freedom in this world, and the reality of our connection to each other as the basis and grounding condition of that freedom’s expression."

I've been revisiting the music of Low and contemplating upgrading them from "wow great band" to "okay I think they may be one of the best American bands of all time" I'll follow up when I have any updates

Now we’re listening to my good friend @jefftobias.bsky.social’s latest leftist sophistipop masterpiece, “One Hundredfold Now in This Age” Opening lyric: “Burn the American flag 100x a day” My older son’s got the PlayDoh put again and is getting ABSTRACT

What is it saying about me and my politics that I agree with this but also think practically everyone on television is a fascist

I have no new music to present today but here are a few things I am excited about for Bandcamp Friday New Damaged Bug, Dwyer getting as weird as he pleases, "I can't wait for the sun to go down on the culture war" you and me both brother damagedbug.bandcamp.com/album/zuzax

The arc of justice isn't bending fast enough for my liking

The Internet, our home, is beginning to look like an immense pile of filth.

Kristi Noem’s podium at DHS is just a straight up Nazi slogan "One of ours, all of yours" was a Nazi policy made when an SS officer was killed in a Czech Village and then the Nazis killed every single resident of that village in response…..but don’t you dare call them Nazis….not even hiding it

this is your mission. roll up to this daycare in full tactical gear to harass some kids and teachers. when you get spooked by your own shadow like a panicked horse and start shooting your gun, our pedophile president will call the person you shot a terrorist. good luck soldier

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

Professors and teachers: Consider assigning your students some of the many AI-related suicide/murder court documents. I'm going to in my creative writing courses. This could be relevant material in any classroom in which you think AI is a factor. Which is to say, all of them.
