If it's legal to depose another country's president, I've got a request for Canada

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration. It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

Hey kids, if you hit play on “At the Road’s End” at 11:51:47, the Merzbow noise drop will rip your face off at exactly midnight. seeming.bandcamp.com/track/at-the...

This is my band. We made a record this month. Many people like it, and maybe you will too.

🙏 thanks so much! this is one of our favorites!

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

My JG Ballard brings all the boys to the holiday book exchange.

Notice how Trump and Republicans were having the worst couple weeks in the administration's history and they decided to pivot to hardcore attacking trans people?

Seeming's fourth album of post-everything electronic songcraft is about the world, and how we move through it. www.idieyoudie.com/2025/12/10/s...

Woke up to see this overwhelming and perceptive review of my latest record. 🙏 Thanks for really hearing it.

I heard the Waitresses' 1981 "Christmas Wrapping" and got so obsessed with the rhythm on the sax riff (by Mars Williams, RIP) that I spent two hours figuring it out. (hear it at www.youtube.com/watch?v=nud2... and clock how they prep it with a single 3/4-bar setup) #MusicTheory folks, enjoy!

Hey you scrolling late at night. It’s still Bandcamp Friday for A few hours and you can still DO something with your day. I just put out a record of heavy antifascist darkwave. Try it out. seeming.bandcamp.com/album/the-wo...

Every "end of year" list published in early December misses phenomenal albums like this one. Buy this, it absolutely whips

XIII It was evening all afternoon. It was snowing And it was going to snow. The blackbird sat In the cedar-limbs.

Complete the sentence: The internal combustion engine is to climate change as the Internet is to…

I don’t know enough about musicology to know why Assassin’s Lovesong immediately evoked such an ageless “end of an Irish wake” feeling for me, but I’m currently sending it to every fiddle player I know.

(“Assassin’s Lovesong” is, by tying anti-state action with earnest love, the underbelly to the statist faux-affection in “I Love You Citizen.”)

I’ll be playing a very short and very weird noise set tomorrow in Rochester at the (free!) Avant-Garde-a-Clue fest (75 Stutson). 7:15, but sure to get there in time to catch the legendary If Bwana (Al Margolis) at 6:30.

Go cause good trouble. Stay safe.

I made a little toy for exploring and mixing mathematically possible backbeat rhythms! In a 2-beat 16th-note grid with kick/snare/hat, there are 1,458 combinations. And in combination, there are 2,125,764 ways to fill in a 4/4. Enjoy playing ALL of them here: salexanderreed.com/backbeats

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

According to data from Ice, we passed a significant milestone. Immigrants with no criminal record now make up the largest group arrested and booked into detention by Ice.

Tonight at 9 in #Ithaca I’m playing Naked Noise 12 (which involves—to be clear—no nakedness). I’ll be one of 18 musicians performing a two-hour improvisation. Psychedelic, immersive, ritualistic.

With Robert Redford having passed, I beg you all to watch Sneakers (1992), one of the most prescient movies in recent decades, and certainly the best hacker film ever made. Also it's very funny.

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

Don't let anyone relitigate the possibility of a better world. It is not up for debate. Don't let them drag your technicolor heart into their monochrome hell of greed and resentment.

BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California. Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.

Since @seantcollins.com was asking about ridiculous things we've dreamt, here's a greeting card I was handed a few years ago in a dream.

RIP Tom Lehrer, one of the absolute greats, and the only songwriter of note ever to put his catalogue willfully into the public domain. This was my first favorite of his: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TytG...

Marcel Proust whips out a Black & Decker drill and lobotomizes you on the dancefloor. This is Requiem Mash II, a stew of late twentieth-century subculture and tomfoolery. I made it for you. 124 songs in under 38 minutes. Featuring "Scatman Will Tear Us Apart." alexreed.bandcamp.com/album/requie...

Damn @salexanderreed.bsky.social is a national treasure, this is delightful (and love love love the heavy dose of Light Asylum in there) alexreed.bandcamp.com/album/requie...

I was depressed, but then @salexanderreed.bsky.social released a forty minute 124 song mashup and that became untenable.

If we're talking about Ozzy, one of my favorite tidbits is that the first Black Sabbath album was recorded in a single day. Like, "Oh it's Thursday night. What did you do today?" "Invented metal."

Nurse, this is no simple Duran Duranxiety. I fear I am going into Duran Duranaphylactic shock. I need a Duran Duranesthesiologist before I have a Duran Duraneurysm.

People want to spend more time thinking about history, art, literature, and meaning. That scares rich bastards shitless. Archived link at archive.is/5Yprj.

Walked by a car show and met a very sweet guinea pig and her 1911 Maxwell AB.

Oh hey, I wrote a thing.

Woke up this morning and wrote a short fugue in three voices based on Zombie Nation's "Kernkraft 400." www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU0j...

Ever notice how the uncommon poetic meter of Bowie’s 1971 “Bewlay Brothers” is identical to (the vastly inferior but definitely earlier hit) “Honey” by Bobby Goldsboro, 1968? (@bowiesongs.bsky.social?)

RIP Mark Snow, composer for the X-Files and much more I was lucky enough to interview him when I was a teenager. Here's the transcript. www.patreon.com/posts/37607776

America is bad at diagnosing slow violence. But murder by neglect, impoverishment, and starvation, is still murder.
