So when he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you were cool with that? When he made fun of a handicapped reporter, you were cool with that? When he had a mob attack the capital to steal the election, you were cool with that? But now gas is expensive so you regret your vote? Yeah?

Just in case you missed this insane news—which I highly doubt you could have—highly recommended! Aaron is a perfect fit. neurosis.bandcamp.com/album/an-und...

Come on, people.

Contrary to popular belief, you can successfully toss in blast beats on a few Tears for Fears songs.

What are the benefits of learning a Porcupine Tree song? I don’t know either—yet here I am, giving it a go.

Well well well… what do we have here?

Happy #CDFriday to all those who celebrate 💿 🌊

Just thinking back to that time I spent 4 weeks in Linz writing and performing with some amazingly talented actors and musicians. An incredible and surreal experience. #JoanDark #Linz09 #throwback Info and some great shots: www.linz09.at/en/projekt-2...

Essential New Music: Cleared’s “Lustres” (@room40.bsky.social, @stevenhess.bsky.social). Deep and weightless, “Lustres” is an artifact of sound breaking free of form only to reconstitute as new music. Read our review: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/10/e...

I wrote about Cleared ahead of their record release show

"[T]he duo construct the kind of radiant tableau that is ahead of its time." Album review: Cleared's 'Lustres' (ft. Michael Vallera and @stevenhess.bsky.social) - out Friday via @room40.bsky.social. sun-13.com/2026/03/04/c...

I've always been fascinated by these Brutalist war memorials in the former Yugoslavia. They're featured heavily in Jóhann Jóhannsson's 2020 film, Last and First Men which is based on the Olaf Stapledon novel.

With all the blundering and foolish chaos in the world right now it feels kinda insignificant to talk about trivial things like what I’m listening to, but… I’m working my way The Fall’s discography. I’ll be ready to discuss and give my thoughts when I finish, probably in about two years.
