My favorite radio station XCSB (formerly WCSB) is back. The terrestrial station was killed in a closed door deal where a university president got a seat on the local media conglomerate board, but thankfully they're back to streaming! Give em a listen. It's always something interesting. xcsb.org

Today is XCSB Giving Day! On March 1, @xcsbcleveland begins a new era as a fully community-run online radio station at xcsb.org, but we are starting from scratch. Every dollar given will go toward building a brand-new studio space! Donate: square.link/u/Eu7UreAU

happy birthday @jimmyeatworld.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/colorsof...

Buried deep under the avalanche of butt rock is some exciting news: Circa Survive is back!

So I’m putting in love now, I’m putting in faith, putting fear on a long-term IL. I’m going outside, I’m going to help organize something better. Something beautiful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-z9...

a sleigh bells song in a glp-1 ad is objectively hilarious. 15 years ago sleigh bells fans just did coke to be skinny!

I'll take you in the morning On the blackest days I'll take you in the morning If I had my way www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ6r...

Watching the opening act at the Black Heart Procession show with a few dozen other people and someone in the audience’s phone goes off in between songs with an Animal Collective “My Girls” ringtone, extremely loudly. Is this what being washed feels like?

get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

"The deeper that your kindness flows The more that the banks of my heart can hold I just wanna let you know how much I love you The brighter that your moonlight shines The more I can see at night I just hope you're doing alright and know I love you" www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciEi...

back on my bullshit www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMJw...

america could be such a cool fucking place if we’d just let it be

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

I am legitimately disappointed in Green Day. Like, to have that platform and say *nothing* might literally be the ultimate sellout move. And this is a band I’ve loved and defended for 30+ years!

just what we needed, six charli xcx clones at once

death to false la parka

c’mon sami, the power of ska compels you

loooootta empty seats in that slave labor stadium

this is the best song @heybobnanna.bsky.social ever wrote, sorry, facts are facts www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0Qq...

Fuck Bovino. Fuck Homan. Fuck whoever's up after that corrupt fuck. Fuck em all, beginning with the fat fuck up top.

Raffi isn’t over here, so just dropping this off.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

i do not believe in god, but at this point, i truly hope i am wrong and all these people rot in the deepest, darkest depths of hell for eternity

"Meanwhile, witnesses said a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman who had been shot, but the ICE agents refused to let the doctor in to help. Up to 15 minutes later, an ambulance arrived but was blocked by ICE vehicles that had occupied the street." www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

Fuck ICE and anyone cool with them

Main event saved the show, cm punk still rules (though I legit thought he separated his shoulder on that dive outside)

currently working on an online masters and totally gobsmacked at the assignment submission process: 1. upload paper 2. it's scanned for AI usage to make sure a human really wrote it 3. then it gets scanned for grammatical errors, at which point they tell you to use grammarly's AI to fix it lol
