I still think about @themountaingoats.bsky.social’s review of the Strokes album “True Tales From the Un1verse” (at least that’s how I remember the name). I’m sad I never got to hear Julian C. rapping in German.

My controversial take is that Zohran got 100k votes on the strength of his absolutely on-fire campaign logo. Vaguely Zabar, vaguely Yankees, vaguely Knicks/Mets. An all-timer.

As a male in my 40s, I love being on podcasts more than anything. I got to talk about Billy Joel and get schooled on the Weakerthans in this episode.

RIP to one of the most magical sites on the internet. Truly the end of an era.

Task is a good show but the music placement is constantly taking me out of it. Maeve has a Be Your Own Pet poster; the biker bar is playing Richard and Linda Thompson. Come on. Be serious.

Made some new friends last night. If you can see Combat from Baltimore play, see Combat from Baltimore play. It’s a miracle this band exists, it’s like discovering a new molecule.

Let’s all get together and buy American democracy at the dip.

Here are the songs HLLLYH will play on Saturday, in San Jose, in order, in case you want to mentally prepare: Uru Buru Flex It, Tagger I Want to Hold Your Gun* Young Marks** Hard Magick* Guess Who’s Back From the Spirit World Black Rainbows Dead Clade *New songs ** Mae Shi cover

Buncha bands including HLLLYH playing this Saturday at Jade Cathay in San Jose. It’s a dim sum restaurant! It’s all ages! This is what rock shows should be. We go on second.

Gui Santos looks like a good guy to rob a bank with

The word “shibboleth” is a shibboleth for people who know what shibboleths are.

He’s going to bring back cigarette commercials before the end of his term, isn’t he?

I’ve enlisted.

Haven’t seen this video in 38 years but recognized it in the first half second

if you haven't listened to URUBURU by hlllyh yet by the way i just don't know what's the matter with you

Discovering The Mae Shi in 2004 and Bomb the Music Industry in 2006 were two equally seismic moments for me in my growth as a consumer and creator of music. The boring person I was before I heard Terrorbird and Goodbye Cool World didn't survive the exposure. Therefore I find this heartwarming.

Let’s do this. Who else is going?

CHOTINER: I don't know, I just feel like I've been tacitly operating in a moral framework that would fall apart with even the barest scrutiny. But maybe that collapse would bring new clarity DOCTOR: Listen, there is an interviewer I want you to talk to. The best in the business. CHOTINER: ...

We got paid nicely for this! And the director is a mensch.

Proudly anti-fascist (or for short, “antifa”)

I’m sad silksong didn’t come out back during a time when games all shipped with an “instruction manual”

20 hours in and my main complaint with Silksong is that it should have cost more

For some reason Mae Shi/HLLLYH’s fan base is heavily trans even though the bands are 100% cis dudes. Whatever the reason, it makes us feel very cool and loved. Thank you for being there!

We are the bad guys. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/u...

Fine with this if true. Call it what it is.

HLLLYH is playing this Friday in Oakland at Stay Gold Deli. All ages, early show. We’ll be playing a few new songs. New videos. And some merch we’ve never sold in the Bay before. Come and hang out!

Do other countries have statues of failed insurrectionists? Legitimately curious.

Probably the “bachelor party” show for John D. of @themountaingoats.bsky.social at Black Watch Pub in Upland in … 1998?

Tim talks for a full two hours on Protonic Reversal. History of the Mae Shi/HLLLYH, growing up in the outer rim, love of CVS music, and a track-by-track analysis of URUBURU. www.protonicreversal.com/ep434-tim-by...

Hlllyh show number 6 is next week in SF.

I think about this song every day. The Mae Shi. Run to your Grave. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUKA...

Our new record URUBURU was designed to be listened to in order but we’ve got to accept that people just make playlists now. So here’s how you might want to listen to us: 1. Add “Flex It, Tagger,” “Black Rainbows,” and “Dead Clade” to your high energy/workout/getting-pumped-up playlists.

We are very proud of these songs and want you to hear them and fall in love with them.

A show tonight. Starts at 8pm sharp! Come see us Los Angeles!

Every 18 months or so the Serial podcast feed burps up six random episodes of some podcast that is not Serial.

It’s time to purchase tickets for our two LA shows coming up Friday and Saturday. PRR is tiny, the Smell is big. www.thesmell.org/eventtickets... dice.fm/event/eoq99o...

I’d rather have the bathrooms unlocked at Yellowstone but that’s just me

Not the Mae Shi, but rather a different band that featured 5 members of the Mae Shi on this records. Don’t expect the Mae Sheet at our live shows!

A bunch of cool stuff up on the HLLLYH bandcamp page, including the last few copies of Terrorbird on vinyl, shirts in every size, and a $300 bomber jacket. hlllyhband.bandcamp.com/merch

Polyannish, naive. Given by someone who does not understand the pressure of modern life, for example someone who watches Sesame Street. This is easy stuff.

Hell yeah this is a good album! @hlllyh.bsky.social

I wonder if it's going to be a positive review or a negative review. "Vibe" tends to have positive connotations

have you guys heard the mae shi reunion yet it goes fucking hard

We did one of these youtu.be/V3RztewlRzU?...

No one tells you that you are expected to work through the apocalypse. They leave that part out.

Nice review. We too are getting tired of the M-S.

This movie inspired the Mae Shi song “Young Marks,” which carried the working title “We’re Demons.” I talk about it every chance I get.

Another show coming up, this time in Oakland September 5 with Feefawfum, Perhapsy, and Christian Francisco. At Stay Gold Deli.

Did the Mae Shi change their name to HLLLYH? No. Here’s the story.

Two LA Shows coming up, you ca get tickets to both. www.thesmell.org/eventtickets... dice.fm/event/eoq99o...
