Got really high and realized this is actually about the Democratic Party

We really gotta bring back shame

Loving this record. (Thx to @bourgwick.bsky.social for the rec) However it is having the side effect of making me really miss jamie branch. Got what a talent and a soul. Was gonna say gone too soon, but part of me is glad they’re not in a body on earth at this particular moment.

It’s called truth in advertising and it’s the law.

What I’m wearing to the Rapture

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in. Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol. It's like his work never happened.

Subtly downgrade a band: The Fucking Runners-up

This is a bar

The most utopian thing I can imagine at this point is a strictly segregated media environment of propaganda slop and the people who don't mind it (nobody likes it) and then an entirely separate economy of people who actually like reading, listening to music, watching films etc.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

230 tracks. That's more than a full day of gnarly space rock

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

You ever just want to walk inside an album gatefold photo and hang out for a while?

Happy Phil Lesh In A Sombrero Day to all who celebrate

My favorite My Morning Jacket record, 'It Still Moves,' was released OTD in 2002, so I was like, hey, why not share my ranking of MMJ songs. Feels like it makes sense. giddyupamerica.com/2024/10/04/m...

a lot of bad-faith grifters are taking my words out of context just because i told jeffrey dahmer to "stay hungry," in writing, at his birthday party, that i was at.

Slightly diminish an book The Pippen Rules

Did not realize "nitty gritty" had hippie origins/connotations

Slept in a Sturgill T-shirt, woke up and decided to kill my ego

Oh, poles were collapsing alright

Pick up one of these boss bandanas and support the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum wvminewars.org/store/origin...

Hey @bandcamp.com, stop the Stripe transition

Slightly diminish a band: Phry

My favorite doctor and companion

Found my new band name

Love a little timeline serendipity

Really excited to dig into new records by Ryan Davis, Golomb, and Tyler Childers today. What other new releases should I be checking out?

This is an incredible profile. And I love that Goose Creek Symphony, an all-too-often overlooked country/hippie/rock progenitor, gets a mention.

Charles "Embezzlement" Cheese

She has what has been identified as a log or a beam in her eye, depending on the translation

If I weren't going to be on the other side of the country visiting family, I would definitely be here. Just an absolutely stacked lineup of talents.

Gotta be either Katmandu or Small Town for me. This is based more on ubiquity on classic rock radio at a time in my life when I listened to the radio a lot than on pure quality (I'm sure there are worse songs out there). But I just find both of these songs revolting.

Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.

Coming soon from Auckland University Press. October release. Written by an author who’s followed the scene for 35 years and spent ten of them researching and writing this. Go to AUP website to order @aucklanduni.bsky.social @craigrobertson.bsky.social @flyingnun.bsky.social

Bout to fire up the mower and try not to die of heat stroke At least I'll have some quality aural companionship

Listening to one of my all-time favorites on its birthday archive.org/details/gd19...

Why don’t you ever see elephants hiding in trees? Because they’re really good at it

“I actually wanna go to a protest rally more than I wanna go to an authoritarian military parade.”

Big ups to whoever in my timeline recommended this album. This track in particular has got me. Killer trancey desert rock over a groove that goes from sounding like a sick late 70's Diana Ross track to a metal assault to a droning fade back into the disco beat. alqasar.bandcamp.com/track/promis...

I was behind Donna Jean Godchaux in the rental car line at the Oakland Airport. I told her I was a big fan and she asked me if I knew what time her band was playing some local festival I was not attending. I didn't

These are always worth a listen
