Everyone needs to delete TikTok asap.

Who cares what this guy has to say. The hypocrisy is like air around him.

Flying Raccoon Suit in Columbus last night. It’s rare to get a show like this here and vibes were great. @flyingraccoonsuit.bsky.social

Last night in Columbus @catbiteband.bsky.social Amazing as always!

This is longshot, especially here where absolutely no one sees my posts, but if anyone knows a ska-loving couple from the Akron/Cleveland area named Amber and Drew that were in Columbus last night, I would love to keep in touch with them

I run a Music blog. If you got a project in the works I would love to see it. Releases have been slow forcing me this week to write about an album released in 96. While I love it and am hyped to talk about it, that article could very easily been about your project. Had I known about it. #DIYmusic

What if they not letting Trump speak because he had a Reverse Fetterman Stroke and hes woke now

IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction

Working on a song centered around the phrase “Down to the Studs” but I’m kind of afraid that @yourpomps.bsky.social have cornered the market on housing-related metaphors.

Isn’t this socialism, albeit backwards?

pssst it’s not just mamdani. there’s omar fateh in the twin cities, katie wilson in seattle. there’s graham platner primarying susan collins in maine, and saikat chakrabarti primarying nancy pelosi in SF. and so many more.

I grew up hearing this guy on the radio and even as a very young person knowing it was off. This is a scathing yet honest obituary. This man played a major role in where we are today.

“Blood and Thunder” is a top five all time metal riff.

Ska is the music of joyful resistance.

Why do they always look like this?

5 years ago a significant portion of the country marched in the streets against police brutality. Now we have masked police with no ID ganging up on people and spouting political nonsense. ICE makes a mockery of any idea of an accountable police force.

Gym playlist this morning: Trapped Under Ice - Secrets of the World Ten Foot Pole - Insider Ignite - Our Darkest Days Born Against - 9 Patriotic Hymns.

This is a funny joke but yeah, this guy actually loathes himself as much as the rest of us loathe him.

Loved this bit from Against the Grain: A Carpentry Manual for Women by Dale McCormick so much that I typed it up and pinned it over my desk (h/t Michelle Millar Fisher on insta www.instagram.com/p/DM2S05bOKk...)

It’s bad enough to lie but to choose to lie to yourself like this is truly psychotic.

Hey real talk here fam. I’m trying to move my blog over to my own Wordpress site. I’ve got almost everything figured out but sending subscribers emails whenever I post. My thick dummy ass can’t figure out a system that works. Anyone got any suggestions?

When you break up and make huge thing of it including an entire album about it and then still do stuff like this. (Not talking about HWM)

and the HM-2 sounds like jackhammer / and the microphone smells like the breath / of the hardcore lead singer who used it last night / and thinks fluoride’s a worse fate than death / ah, la la, did-dee-da / OPEN IT UP

Black Sabbath is more influential than Led Zeppelin while we’re at it.

Message Hidden Backward In Black Sabbath Album Wishes Everyone A Good Time Listening To Rock And Roll

Damn. What a great singer and artist and loser weirdo made good.

The punter from the Vikings doing it better than the politicians.

A gentle and kind reviewer.

September 16 don’t miss this Columbus

the basic message of the republican party is “fuck you, you’re on your own.”

One thing I’ve noticed from covering these protests is the cooperation between “normie lib” and “radical left” organizations. Their differences are very real, but in Columbus they seem to be consistently setting them aside.

Whole thread.

Are you not clocking that this senator is standing on business?

Among Democrats - "Do you support Democrats like Sanders and AOC who call for a more aggressive stance towards Trump, or moderate Democrats who are willing to compromise with Trump issues important to their base?" AOC/Bernie: 70% Moderate Dems: 30% Harvard-Harris / June 12, 2025

The trumpet is the official musical instrument of the resistance. We are so back.

Been at the beach all week. It’s great to be able to do things like this and I don’t take it for granted. And people are generally lovely and considerate…except for that one person at the beach with a speaker playing the absolute worst fucking music you’ve ever heard.

Mountain Goats lyrics be like: “Achilles withdrew to his chamber. His ankle ached as the pen scrawled across the papyrus. Never have I seen such a cucktard as Osiris.”

Gutted

AI sucks.

Ah yes logging into Bluesky to reviews the horrors of the day.

My wife is playing Songs in the Key of Life in the house today and am again reminded of what an absolute pinnacle of music it is.

Hedge every bet, lick every boot Make every appeal Prostrate yourself to the killing machine To spare yourself from its wheels "Better them than me" Rolls so seductively off your tongue Your reckoning has begun

Good lord this Propagandhi album. The highest of art.

Happy Propagandhi release day to all those that celebrate.

Back on my bullshit (calling my reps).

i am tired of being told i must coddle these people. no! they are willfully ignorant! and their standard bearer, RFK, is a monstrous narcissist who is indifferent to death and suffering.

Hey! Here’s my April column. Read it. Share it. Love it. Live it. beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2025/04/28/s...

I am beginning to really hate all AI images. A visceral mix of uncanny valley and cultural dread.
