Apparently one of the Fallout TV show actors watched Oxhorn to prepare for his role and it made me wonder - Oxhorn?! The guy who made the Warcraft machinima series 'Inventing Swear Words'?!?! - When the fuck did he start making Fallout videos

My Big Wife™ has been crashing out since 5 AM cause they just announced Anje Huwe of Xmal Deutshland is playing NYC the same day as FKA Twigs in DC and now she's at a crossroads

Hudson Williams looks like a guy that was meant to be the 2nd coming of James Duval; a muse meant for a creative director to make explicitly queer movies for nerds. But they have him out here doing a show about hockey and gay sex. Should be about aliens and gay sex.

Albums from 2025 I quite enjoyed + albums NOT from 2025 that I listened to for the first time this year that I also quite enjoyed

Got it so the 8th episode of every prestige show with lesbian protagonists has to have a sloppy make out session okay

BCNR went from being a hyped rock band that wanted to be both Slint and early Arcade Fire to now a band that sounds like a more accessible-but-lesser version of the Fiery Furnaces with a considerable amount of hype dropped around them

Last second gig announcement. Got asked to replace the mighty Atlantean Sword this Saturday so I will be coming up this weekend to play TV Eye in NYC New York pals, see you soon.

Aw shucks, thank you. ⚔️

Radical centrism is finding someone who enjoys Kill Tony and Dropout

Just watched the Pluribus pilot again + 1 year of Arcane 2 I am moving on from my problematic wlw ship (Cops) to another problematic wlw ship (allegory for AI)

Still present on this app, just lurking. Here is back to back movie theater selfies from the past 2 days.

Sucks to hear what happened to Vice President Cheney. We used to jerk it to yaoi back in the day. Fudanshi Dick is what we called him. He's gooning with the best of 'em now.

here’s your sunday read: how fossil fuel ads, islamophobia and self-hatred in the beltway press corpse led me to write “horseglue,” a two-minute clarion call for accountability in the mainstream media. if it bleeds, it leads. here we go 🖤

Comfy Synth Platinum Record

In almost forever, I've uploaded a new mashup. What does cult favorite German neofolk artist Forseti and once-beloved-now-chopped-to-bits pop star Katy Perry have in common? This track: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF2q...

People like to bring up stuff like the MCU and the Big Bang Theory as reasons for the death of proper nerd culture, which makes sense, but you can make a strong case that the late 2000s/early 2010s prevalence to make fun of anything 'cringe' was also a key contributor

BANDCAMP FRIDAY FUNDRAISER Today all of Realm and Ritual's physical and digital sales will be donated the the National Immigration Law Center, an organization dedicated to advancing and defending the rights and opportunities of low-income immigrants. realmandritual.bandcamp.com

Hails, friends It is bandcamp Friday. Any support in this case would help tremendously as I face the idiotic, looming hospital bills from my recent bout with appendicitis. You can support my projects here. And of course, Hail Vael. vaelastrasz.bandcamp.com

Hails. Here are some upcoming Vael gigs. 9/27 - Wax Atlas - Baltimore Last local-ish gig for awhile, playing in support for ameokama.

The other night I was arguing with someone at the gay club in chinatown because they told me season 2 of Arcane was better than season 1; the argument was taken place right next to a big vagina-shaped bed

Don't let Charlie Kirk's death distract you from one of the coolest albums of this year

For every time my name gets dropped in a "queer/poc artists recommendation" thread i get a little bit more gayer and a little bit more asian

what do we think gang no glasses or glasses

I got the gay esoteric industrial musick butthole on my chest now

DC cops are going to have a handful tonight (Swans and Ethel Cain are both playing tonight)

Hails. Here are some upcoming Vael gigs. 9/27 - Wax Atlas - Baltimore Last local-ish gig for awhile, playing in support for ameokama.

Elyvilon is an honorary t-boy when he hangs with the girlies (the t stands for Tristan)

If I had a nickel for every animated movie about pop idols that had a character named Rumi in it, I'd have two nickels.

FREE DC.

She's collecting all the 2010s 'metal adjacent' girlies In another life Ethel would've been on a list titled "top 10 'female-fronted female metal' bands you should check out" published in 2015 She's getting 2 secret sets at Roadburn and making a statement about why she left Sargent House

Man it used to be when you saw white boys with acoustic guitars your first reaction was "oh theyre gonna play Wonderwall" now people see one and they be saying shit like "is he the next Jason Molina??"

am hearing that federal agents are going into concert venues in plain clothes and casing the venues, looking for people to go after below is from a bartender at a popular dc venue that ekko astral has played multiple times

The new Agriculture song is called The Weight???

Final count of how many Jinx cosplays I saw: 13

Going up to people in suits and ties and complimenting their Chainsaw Man cosplay

Meet The Residents; The Band That's Not As Good As Slipknot

It is bandcamp Friday. Back in May I dropped a folk/ambient album about loss and love. Throw a penny and feel the wave of melancholy. vaelastrasz.bandcamp.com/album/death-...

NEW CARDIACS SINGLE! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!! I AM GOING TO CRY WHAT THE FUCK alphabet-business-concern.bandcamp.com/track/wooden...

Hails, Playing a small show next weekend in RVA at Material Room. August 2nd. It'll be 1 of 3 final gigs for me this year. RVA friends let hang out and idk, drink PBRs with a polycule at Cobra Cabana afterwards or whatever yall do down there

Was stuck trying to leave the couch the other night cause Drew turned me into a pillow

Going through new black metal releases and found a band that did a black metal cover of L'amour toujours which, in any other era, would be fucking amazing. Sadly one of the best pop songs ever seems to be co-opted by weirdo right wingers and this guy is pretty NS from what I can tell

It's a dark day for darkness
