Chair Company is basically just an attempt at an early Dan Clowes plot, yeah?

"...it’s too late for most of the conversations I hear around me about music and AI. The question isn’t what are we going to do about it. I believe the more productive conversation at this point is what are we going to do afterwards"

Get job where you're paid to wonder if a sports team has to win their next game or not.

Celtics doing a great job of making me regret league pass sub after one single game (even the cheapest possible tier - radio only - which is all i will ever do because it's actually the best one).

Will be sharing details about my new book in the coming days. It's a beauty with nice chunky paper and slightly crazy amounts of collage. Not a ton of juice over here on Bsky but I appreciate the likes and reposts etc when the time comes...

November 15 2025: My entire life of 2001 - 2013 returns as Ho-Ag reforms to play a show with our longgggggtinw friends, the amazing Hallelujah the Hills in Boston.

Good morn’ - here’s a link to the latest Stuffed Spider release, which I thinks genuinely very good. Heavily layered guitars, gradual development of dissonance, sprawling synth/noise landscapes, general unspooling. stuffedspider.bandcamp.com/album/enfiel...

Where can i find a job that doesnt involving logging into some SaaS platform or another every ten minutes.

What percentage of people who want to like Kneecap give it a shot and think "Unfortunately it sounds too much like Die Antwoord?"

Actually - check it: an exclusive Bluesky sneak peak at the upcoming "Enfield Pattern" video: youtu.be/3iRPKOHo4Nk?...

About to release this 17-minute mix of dissonant minimal guitar, drone, synth and tape collage. Recs on who to alert to this in case there are writers interesting in this sort of thing? Thanks.

I’m now past the threshold of beginning to edit a video for a 17-minute long composition based on live performance footage, random iPhone travel videos, found footage and rudimentary text/morion graphics. Keep me in your thoughts.

Susceptible as anyone to a little Black Sabbath nostalgia, I've been listening to bits of the first three albums today and as always am struck by how much these recordings would absolutely NOT FLY by today's standards. So dry, so raw, so unadorned. But they rule so hard.

Genuine question what are the strengths of any music format (CD, tape etc) at this point? Having a hard time justifying any of them to myself these days.

I think it's fair to clown on wild swings in the stock market based on insane Trump policies while *also* clowning on the very idea of the stock market controlling our economy and lives based on a series of whims, rumors, gut feelings, panics and Tweets.

Are there any useful music discords?

Playing a rad little slice and dice poetry/sound show next week in Nashville. Poem Eat Song at the Coop Gallery on April 17, droning and squalling under digital recitations by John the Shaman.

Ps while I’m talking up Stuffed Spider check out this old video I made: youtu.be/i01oR2bKQek?...

BC Friday so plz consider grabbing something at stuffedspider.Bandcamp.com

Stuffed Spider is playing this very carefully curated, great series in Nashville in a few weeks (plenty of other great artists in this lineup as well!).

Oscars drastically overestimate how much anyone cares about James Bond.

No one comments about how all the men’s fashion in The Brutalist looks exactly like all of my IG ads.

Newsletter: There is no AI Revolution. Consumer adoption of generative AI outside of ChatGPT is barely 100 million people, every single company in generative AI is deeply unprofitable, Microsoft is pulling capex, and OpenAI spent $9bn in 2024 to lose $5bn. www.wheresyoured.at/wheres-the-m...

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money.

Saw Cap America last night with the kid and I have to say: it wasn't anywhere near as bad as people keep saying. Was it very good? Nah. But it gave me enough pieces to imagine a better movie, which is, like, 90% of why I like most movies and music in the first place.

Finally realized the good use for AI in my life - having new spreadsheet functions taught to me. HOWEVER I also realized that the only reason I like it is because it's better than all the garbage how-to content designed for Google SEO. Is there a better place to learn Sheets junk?

Is it really DIY if the “Y” is stacked with inherited wealth?

I’m forever at a coffee shop or shared work space bashing away on emails, Slack messages, frantically switching between various decks and spreadsheets, while the person next to me is just scrolling through Pinterest or looking at furniture listings on FB for hours.

The federal government built the internet and bankrolled nearly every tech innovation of the last 60+ years, one way or the other, from the “mother of all demos” in 1968 to Biden’s bailing out billionaire VC nitwits who did a run on Silicon Valley Bank in 2023

Small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but I’m ready for the practice of faking the presence of rabid fans in live performances to end (Grammys, Super Bowl etc). Corny.

Huge supporter and advocate of public schools but I have to be honest - some days it’s a truly demoralizing slog.

Incredible how thoroughly Democrats got played here. Spent four years following through on a Trump executive order, pissed away any shot at building a real youth coalition for 2024 by alienating literally every teenager in America, lost the election, and now Trump gets to "save" TikTok. Clown shit.

Loved Portrait Pallas in Nashville last night at the Ambient Evening series at ye old Honeytree Meadery.

These fucking losers. Being bad at making music has never stopped people from making amazing music.

Track arrangement for new Stuffed Spider record is far underway and by track arrangement I mean trying to decide which songs to haul across the finish line to glory or not.

In other news I showed photography for the first time in a looonggggggg time amongst a collection of truly wonderful Nashville artists this week and it was really affirming thanks.

That weird feeling you have when you’re listening to Coast to Goast AM and it’s all ads for HGH and gold… I’m getting that same icky feeling watching the Globes and it’s all ads for Ozempic.

What search engines are people using these days? I've tended to look at things like DuckDuckGo as magnets for vaguely paranoid people, but privacy aside Google is also just kind of . . . useless anymore?

Nosferatu (2024)

I finally saw Joker 2 and thought it was . . . Good?

This is gonna rule.

It’s been said that there’s no such thing as an anti-war movie. Point is that any compelling film will inevitably in some way glorify the inherent drama in war making. I think the same goes for sci-fi dystopias, and it’s becoming clearer every day.

Sometimes I’d almost prefer a catalog this to be my entire worldview again

When they finally find this guy it's going to be like the OJ highway chase isn't it.
