"Wintry mix" sounds like something delightful but is actually The Worst Weather.

Can someone just make Tetris for iPhone that is EXACTLY like the old Gameboy version? No hints or dotted line guides (cheating) or online anything (garbage)

Not only am I expected to remember all my friend's names, but I'm supposed to remember all their internet names as well

Calling it now: That White House ballroom will not be finished before the end of 2028. Wouldn't be surprised if it's still a big hole in the ground.

Trapped in a Lyft ride and hearing what might be my new worst song I've ever heard: Miley Cyrus "Party in the USA" not just worst song but maybe the worst sound I've ever heard. Making me nauseous.

Trump's "Art of the Deal" makes sense if you understand he's not a deal artist like Frank Lloyd Wright was an architectural artist, he's a deal artist like Cock ESP are musical artists.

Now easier to use AI to solve the CAPTCHA

Favorite bathroom sign misspellings I've seen: "Bathroom is temporally out of order" "Bathroom is for costumers only"

Long thread, but you can read a few posts and get the gist. Kind of scary but fascinating summary of the shift in college student behavior in the age of AI/TikTok/etc as primary media consumption. How did these ppl graduate high school? How will they hold any job?

In making beats for Radio Shock, I've never used cymbal sounds (except hi hat) I always thought who needs em? But I was listening to some rock music (Nirvana) & noting how much work the cymbals are doing to accentuate & convey "this is the loud/exciting part" maybe I should try adding some?

I'm riding in a car w 4 Zoomers listening to "90s alt rock" playlist, AMA

I kinda admire how My Bloody Valentine spent 20+ years on the follow-up to the legendarily meticulous "Loveless" and then the album has several songs that are clearly in-studio improv jams, including one where they play to a drum machine's "hoedown" beat (my fave track)

I observed that my nephew (19) was frequently calling & receiving calls from friends. I told him I've always heard that young people hate actually talking on the phone and will only text. He said "Oh that's just Millenials. Millenials are weird."

Dude out here using a huge, loud, gas-powered backpack blower to move some stray dirt off the sidewalk. A job that could be done in less time with a standard broom.

Popular Mechanics is absolutely the worst offender in this category of totally-misinterpreted-and-misrepresented scientific speculation that turns into headlines fully detached from reality.

The next noise band playing this fest is called Feet and they're performing under a sheet with only their bare feet sticking out. #noiselife

Why not just go straight to the 100-year mortgage?

This news story made me so envious. I wish I could say I'd never heard a Billy Joel song!

Did someone keep a list of everyone who said they'd leave NYC if Zohran won? Because we should hold them all to that promise.

I think we may now be getting TOO MANY shipping and delivery notifications.

So how many days are we expecting before Cuomo's MAGA turn?

I had no idea Weird Al's "I Lost on Jeopardy" was a parody song until I heard what sounded like the original in the grocery store the other day. Wild.

I guarantee you this new White House ballroom will be the tackiest shit you've ever seen.

2 teens in this coffee house are trying to sell every person these chocolate bars - for 14 dollars each! Then a woman came in and tried to sell them plastic flowers for 8 dollars. She wouldn't accept a chocolate bar in trade.

First show of a little tour (Polka Dot Bar, Hamtramck!) and it looks I just lost/left my job! This is actually the 2nd time I've lost a job at a tour start! Is it a sign? And if so does it mean stop touring, or never get a job again and stay on tour?

Radio Shock ON THE ROAD So happy to be heading out on a tiny tour, basically my favorite thing to do, which I've rarely done in recent years. But let's change that huh?! I'm hitting Chicago, Columbus, Detroit (technically Hamtramck) maaaybe a 4th place. HUGE THANKS to those who helped hook it up! 💚🩷

#noisetable PSA: Amazon has been flooded with knock-off noise tables from brands that seem like they chose their name by throwing a handful of Scrabble tiles on the ground. The one you want is the "LIFETIME 48 in fold-in-half table" always seems to be available from Home Depot. Comes in black!

many are questioning my decision to perform at the Riyadh Ambient Noise Festival

This printing company can do custom desk calculators with your logo. Sounds like a great merch opportunity for some math rock band.

Hope these undercover agents enjoy their time running door at basement punk shows and working the Food Not Bombs table at the farmers market.

The pottery wheel scene from Ghost except with Slimer.

Dude at the show trying to Shazam the grindcore songs being DJ'ed between bands, but it seems like they keep ending too soon.

Dress for the season you want, not the season you have.

I don't find it useful to debate if a specific violent or murderous individual was right-wing or left-wing. Any one could be either, or a mix or neither. Not worth playing that game. It's more meaningful to ask where most get their inspiration, and which ppl with megaphones are encouraging them.

I often think of this interaction I saw on the subway: A man accidentally kicks/trips over a woman's bags. Man: "Excuse me" Woman: "Excuse ME?! Excuse YOU!" 🤔

Netflix already has 7 documentaries and 12 film adaptations in development.

There are reasons one might believe that the current wave of "A.I." will continue to grow exponentially and transform society and everyone will use it constantly soon. But everyone arguing this is true should disclose if they have money invested in A.I. companies. See also crypto and NFTs.

Trying to watch the Foundation show because I read many of the books & enjoyed them, but: Is it just me or is this very boring? Especially couldn't care any less about these dull-as-hell emperor clones. I'm now skipping all their scenes. Does the show shift gears/improve at any point?

Is this a hot take? I kind of HATE tote bags! The strap is too short to go over your head, too long to hold at your side, and it will keep slipping off a shoulder unless you awkwardly hold it in place. Nothing fits well in them (except maybe 3 vinyl records). #totebags are the worst kind of bag.

If I imagine that HAL from 2001 was based on the same software they're now calling "A.I." it makes me think: "Totally makes sense HAL would go insane and kill everyone, I'd give it 50/50 odds that would happen."

Trump wouldn't be accusing Obama of a "coup" and doing these test runs of deploying the military against the public and building up his own secret police if he weren't planning an actual coup. He will not leave office without violence. It's grim.

FREE BAND NAMES. Until midnight tonight, anyone who likes or comments on this will get a free band name of the "adjective noun "form. (for example, Black Dice or the Rolling Stones.)

You gotta love it when a noise band spends 30 minutes setting up thousands of dollars of complex gear, then they play and the same sounds could have been produced by rubbing a microphone on a log. #noiselife #VOV #voicefthevalley #noisefest

There is a small child on stage who doesn't seem to have any clue that his dad is playing a set right now. He was waving a flashlight around, then trying to climb on dad's back, now attempting a handstand. Best part of the set tbh. #VOV #noiselife #noisedad

When I was young the difference between Nirvana & say Creed was that Nirvana ruled & Creed sucked. But it goes much deeper than that. Nirvana was aggressive but w/ an unwieldy, imperfect beauty. Creed is content, satisfied, seeking nothing. This battle within grunge was progressivism vs conservatism

Can't tell you how but I got on the campground WiFi at VOV! (Voice of the Valley camping noise fest) Lucky for y'all now you get to enjoy my observations and witticisms re: outdoor #noiselife

One of the things the Sex Pistols really knew how to do is START a song. Every song has an intro part, sometimes a variation on a part that appears later in the song, but often something unique to the intro.

Revisiting "never mind the bollocks" and I gotta say it's impressive how Johnny Rotten can make any two words rhyme.
