Here's the thing: sometimes we do park the car in Harvard Yard.

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

Boutique UK streaming service Cantilever is now available in the USA. Signed up last night and loved the first thing I heard on it. Give it a go if you're sick of all the bullshit that comes with Spotify. www.cantilever-music.com

Oh damn the dude from U Talkin' U2 to Me?

There’s nothing more harmful to your scene than skipping the set of your billmates. resist the urge to smoke/drink your way through their set, wait 25 minutes regardless of whether or not they’re your favorite band. This isn’t a high school clique and you need to grow out of this line of thinking.

It's time for the end-of-the-year list that no one has been waiting for: my top ten albums of 2025. Did things the right way this time and bought them all on vinyl. Fuck streaming in general and Spotify in particular. First up:

There is a free tool to migrate from Spotify to Apple Music and you won’t regret it

Not enough people talking about BEDROOM 4 Full Bsth 4ß that's just a tiny room with a sink in it

Released today! This one is special. Give it a listen. redshiftmusicsociety.bandcamp.com/album/invent...

"I was in Torque!"

It's a big year for recorded cimbalom music! This one is super special and it comes out on November 21st. Hear the first track now. redshiftmusicsociety.bandcamp.com/album/invent...

Out now — Mischa Salkind-Pearl: Lines and Traces of Desire A collection of solo, duo, and ensemble works for the cimbalom (a percussion instrument similar to a hammered dulcimer) by composer Mischa Salkind-Pearl, featuring cimbalom artist @nicktolle.bsky.social

From composer Mischa Salkind-Pearl's new album of music for cimbalom coming out this Friday, here's a movement from Palm's Soft Terrain performed by cimbalom artist @nicktolle.bsky.social newfocusrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/mischa...

These mystical, reflective pieces celebrate the cimbalom's resonant qualities, and honor the eminent composer György Kurtág, whose music provided Tolle the inspiration to dedicate himself to the instrument www.barnesandnoble.com/w/mischa-sal...

Coming out this Friday — Mischa Salkind-Pearl: Lines and Traces of Desire Composer Mischa Salkind-Pearl collaborates with cimbalom artist Nicholas Tolle on this collection of works for the beguiling stringed percussion instrument newfocusrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/mischa...

My new record is out a week from Friday. Listen to a particularly knotty solo cimbalom piece and pre-order here. www.newfocusrecordings.com/catalogue/mi...

Made a pilgrimage to Nijmegen to see the classic line up of my favorite band ever The Gathering reunite.

Lots of exciting stuff happening in Lamnth's 3rd season. Come to a show!

Coming September 26th on @newfocuslabel.bsky.social Possibly the first recording ever to consist entirely of an American composer's cimbalom music? Who knows.

Take away all the GOAT candidates: Mama's Family, Just the Ten of Us, Valerie, Valerie's Family: The Hogans, and The Hogan Family. What's the best show outside of that group?

Substack sent a push alert to users not just of a Nazi sub but one that uses a swastika for its icon and people are still writing about the discoverability on the platform being hard to replace - I mean what are we even doing here

Not beating the Nazi Bar allegations with this one, jesus christ

Some confetti that I saved from Ozzfest 98. Being front row for that was unreal.

My violin/cimbalom duo just launched our second annual call for composers. It's an easy and free application, and we'll award two composers $1,000 to write a new piece for us. Check it out here! www.lamnth.com/lamnthlab

My guess is that somebody had to hit KPIs for new writers signing up, so they just converted a bunch of readers to writers. They have signed me up for All The Things. Metric met! So, hey, if you needed a reason to dislike Substack other than *paying Nazis to write Nazi propaganda*, here's another.

The New York Times is a mobile game company that funds a fascist propaganda machine. Wordle is a tool of the oppressors. Stop playing all their games and snuff out their oxygen.

Cancel your subscription to this piece of shit newspaper for fascist curious liberals.

Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost. I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.

I wonder if these guys are having agonizing internal discussions about changing their band name like Anthrax did in 2001.

Migrating off of Substack was so easy! Everyone should do it. Anyway you can follow your favorite violin/cimbalom duo here. livelamnthlove.beehiiv.com

Impossible to be this funny on purpose.
