Going on Ken Rosato this live this morning to discuss my book Cinematic Immunity (3/31/26) at 8:15am. You can watch onnj.com and I think it’s on tv elsewhere. Clips forthcoming.

Glad I caught them in 95 at the end. They weren’t great, but after 5 tabs of assorted blotter it didn’t matter. Fare thee well now. #RIPBOBWEIR

I will bring this up once every year.

Recorded the 10 year anniversary “Back Issues: The Hustler Magazine Story” Blu-ray DVD commentary with John Torrani yesterday and I was surprised how good it was! It’ll be out next year with Visual Vengeance/Vinegar Syndrome.

Screen Actors Guild should consider organizing crisis actors.

This is a graduate level dose of acid. Thank you @tarotplane.bsky.social

Every now and then you hear one that is so shimmering that time stops and you’re captivated. Cecile McLorin Salvant- Take this stone (ft June McDoom and Kate Davis) tidal.com/browse/track...

Fascinating story about how this obscure, gorgeous Bulgarian vocal music record was reissued by Nonesuch/4AD in the 80s. It’s better detailed in Joe Boyd’s new book but do read: www.thevinylfactory.com/features/mys...

Microdosing self-actualization

Archeological digs Sunday morning in Brooklyn.

Found this in my record collection. Admittedly, I don’t think I’ve ever *really* heard it until today. Man, it’s excellent. Ps. Always loved the Mission UK’s cover of Hurricane.

This is an astounding act of pillage. Imagine this being your legacy: salting the earth that sprouted Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood, Car Talk, Sesame Street, This Old House, and Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me.

This script turned 40 yesterday. I’ve never seen Brighton Beach Memoirs.

Call sheets for Big (1987).

Reign In Blood, South Of Heaven and Seasons In The Abyss form a trio of records that revolutionised twentieth-century heavy metal. Dan Franklin makes the case. Three Album Run: How 20th Century Metal Never Bettered #Slayer’s Unholy Trilogy buff.ly/4wsF8DY

Celebrating the legend.

Some $3 heaters from my secret Brooklyn spot.

Built these barn doors for this octagon window in my dining room. When I come back here I’m gonna paint a landscape of my pond on them.

This is ten pounds of sausage in a five pound bag. There should only be the two supergroups and sabbath. No more.

Graduation day

Back Issues: The Hustler Magazine Story (2014) is back on streaming again. Only on @metalabel.bsky.social Pay what you wish. #stayindie #hustlermagazine #firstamendment #70sporn #porn

happy Father's Day to all who celebrate

Louis Moholo is gone - all the Blue Notes have passed.

The new Little Simz record is so good. Full of surprises.

In “Nazi Punks Fuck Off,” Jello Biafra has a great line addressing them,“in a real Fourth Reich you’d be the first to go.”

Slowly re-releasing all my old work through @metalabel. Starting with this goofy little zine I made during the pandemic. privatesector.metalabel.com/record_6a2bd...

One of the things mentioned here is that they arrived in unmarked cars and wore casual clothing, so if staff hadn’t had the courage to tell them to go away, how would you know they were federal agents and not random adult men abducting children? This should be the biggest conservative mom panic ever

This guy is so fucking funny. The second half really had me. youtu.be/oQwi-SZe-wg?...

Call Benny. I promise I won’t laugh at your problems.

Low key DOGE project

Musk undoing all art history which made doing drugs look fun and cool.

In the future I’ll be able to spot a video from 2025 by the canned tinkly inspirational muzak.

A few years ago I bought a completely unhinged handpainted Ghanaian film poster of The Long Goodbye (1973), my wife's favorite film, for our anniversary, and have been researching them ever since, because TITS ON GHANAIAN FILM POSTERS. A thread...

Official cover. Pub date 2/2/2026. With the legendary @feralhouse.bsky.social Thought it would take 2 years but it took 5.

For sweet potato to grow right, workers uncover the plants at the start of the day & cover them at night to keep in the heat. They carry 40 lb bags of dirt to hold the plastic down. #WeFeedYou

Massive march in New York today to protect migrants and protect the planet #april19

Showgirls really holds up. Lotsa losers owe Elizabeth Berkeley a big apology for all that scorn.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

Hustlers take note. This article is from 2022 but new to me and real as shit.

Just burned all my teen poetry. I’m lucky it didn’t fall into the wrong hands these past 30ish years.

“If I could travel back in time I’d kill Hitler.” Please, you’d be just as scared and powerless as you are now.

Another protest sign I made for my wife for another protest. #handsoff

HANDS OFF In many cities, National Lawyers Guild (NLG) chapters will operate hotlines and send legal observers.

Learning poetry in school is one way we can teach children not to take books like the Bible literally.

Worth sharing with alt text. Brian Eno's response to the Quaker arrests.

Finally seeing daylight on this quixotic couch building project.
