NO GODS NO MASTERS NO PAYWALL LET'S GET THIS STRIKE GOING

Big news for us! Not much will change for the listener! If anything, I hope this leads to bigger and better snack talk with, if my dreams pay off, absurd novelty samples

An underrated joy of living in the midwest is Jets pizza

Michael Rapaport raking food into his mouth on the Traitors, you can't unsee that

godDAMN this album rips and whips and slaps

shout out @ninacorcoran.bsky.social for repping the best stuff on the biggest platform

on the new episode of PUNK THIS WEEK we sing the praises of sick records by Winged Wheel, Bungee Jumpers, Doe St, mangled, and more. @ninacorcoran.bsky.social searches for yard mint, I discuss how some vibrantly hued frosting on a bakery counter sugar cookie made me feel like a sweet little prince.

Reviewed the new, inevitably chart-topping Bruno Mars song pitchfork.com/reviews/trac...

An ICE officer fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis is not the first time federal agents involved in immigration have shot a person this year. Here are two shootings, including another fatal one, during the recent Chicago blitz.

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"

Are we supposed to call our reps and tell them we don’t like when the president engages in overt war crimes, or can we trust them to get there on their own?

We don't talk enough about "Margaritaville" prominently featuring a recorder

for the final episode of PUNK THIS WEEK in 2025, we gathered some friends of the pod around the podcast table to discuss their respective favorite punk things of the year

Here we go: @ninacorcoran.bsky.social and I talked about our respective top three punk records of the year 2025. It's the latest episode of the PUNK THIS WEEK podcast.

Ah yes, the local news back home

Lately it keeps hitting me all over again that David Bowie died and I get profoundly sad

incredible that the oldest scam in the book — “look away from the greed and poor leadership that destroy your chance to make a career, it is the [blanks] that stole your job!” — still works

Put on Bent Shapes' Wolves of Want for the first time in a minute--one of my favorite records of the century. Delighted to shake hands again with their greatest lyric (in "Realization Hits"): "I believe in underachieving as a systematic tactic to preserve your freedom"

this is the final regular format episode of the PUNK THIS WEEK podcast before @ninacorcoran.bsky.social and I get into our best of 2025 episodes! we talk about six deeply sick new punk records and our feelings regarding the Calvin pissing bumper sticker.

Some excellent records on the pod this week by: — a band that sounds like Fang Island dabbling in black metal — a dude who wrote an entire ep of twee punk bedroom pop songs from the perspective of his dog — Indonesian punks playing hardcore songs where the only proper response is "oh shit"

Closing out the year with a list of things I enjoyed and some other general nonsense.

not sure what to call this but loud blown out punk rock… but then it quiets down and puts on a somber face. via @ninacorcoran.bsky.social on the Punk This Week podcast open.spotify.com/track/2jnwez...

On the new episode of the PUNK THIS WEEK podcast, @ninacorcoran.bsky.social and I are coming at you with six excellent punk records and some big questions. primarily: WHICH MUPPET ARE YOU? 🐸🐸

Don't let Plosivs' bad artwork stop you from listening to their album It sounds exactly like a supergroup of guys from Pinback, Drive Like Jehu, and Against Me! should sound like

That’s right

This is the real shit right here firstdayback.bandcamp.com/album/forward

The best emo albums are the ones that hit you immediately when you press play First Day Back made that album

Debating changing my default answer when people ask what music I love to just "guitars"

Can all the folk who just got reminded that they’ve listened to a tonne of music on streaming this year, have a look at the music they heard and buy some on bandcamp today? 🫡🙏🏼

Raise a glass to pop's newest little weirdo Glad she earned her rightful spot on @pitchfork.com's best pop albums of 2025 list: pitchfork.com/features/lis...

Bless Nina for listening and caring. Pigeon Pit at #18!

I wrote about listening, thinking, reflection, memory & not “offloading” it all to sp*tify! www.theguardian.com/music/2025/d...

If you say it's an off year for rock or, worse, nobody's making interesting guitar records, I will laugh in your face The list goes on and on (but for now, it's capped at 30) pitchfork.com/features/lis...

Need entertainment for your long holiday travels this weekend? This episode is my favorite interview we've done! DEEDEE from MSPAINT is endless charm, southern stories, and inspiring charisma. I couldn't stop smiling all day after we recorded this one

Need entertainment for your long holiday travels this weekend? This episode is my favorite interview we've done! DEEDEE from MSPAINT is endless charm, southern stories, and inspiring charisma. I couldn't stop smiling all day after we recorded this one

see/saw jukebox is a bonus podcast for paid see/saw subscribers where @ninacorcoran.bsky.social + I sit down with luminaries to discuss perfect punk records. this one was a damn hoot: MSPAINT's DEEDEE on Waffle House jukeboxes, old head scene politics, Hattiesburg, and their essential punk syllabus

Me and Shaq, a dream team

I love when the show notes are hyper specific without giving anything away

Thought the best part of seeing Marty Supreme would be the movie itself but then Stephen Malkmus walked into this theater outta nowhere

Good Luck playing at the back of a bar at midnight to a sold-out crowd of people grinning wildly and singing along – couldn't ask for a better first show

big FOMO when i skipped a $20 Cindy Lee show in BK last year ish. Diamond Jubilee is the fucking best. this write up of Lee's recent show in Chicago is absolutely stunning work @ninacorcoran.bsky.social what incredible music writing. you glitter. ty for transporting me pitchfork.com/thepitch/cin...
