Today was hard, nearly impossible. But I got through it with the help and love and support of my friends plus, unexpectedly, a delightful old hippie. Turns out when you're having a dog crisis, the people you want around are old hippies and punk ladies. This actually shouldn't be a surprise.

I have not forgotten! Nothing is ever forgotten!

Enjoying the work tape deck being usable again

Some days you just fucking need this song. Today is one of those days.

I am relatively new to the world of @bouphe.bsky.social's work, so this is the first time I get to hype a fresh Soft Focus. Love the idea, love the execution, love the cat content. Highly recommend you check it out!

Even in this Daylight Savings hellscape.

Members of both my bands and some other pals are reconvening our insane obscure-covers-from-the-80s/90s/00s band, APE IN A TANK, to benefit @francescahongwi.bsky.social! We're joined by ALKALINE QUARTET and CHAPPELL HOAN. Go here to find out how to donate! xrayarcade.com/calendar/202...

Hit the snooze and dreamed that the Brady Bunch tried relentlessly to work in a "how about them apples"-style catchphrase, "Peep THAT motor oil!" Hey, subconscious...maybe, uh, keep that one to yourself. I'm good.

Hey. Hi. You know how it's a shitty position to abandon left wing comrades in right wing states? Keep that in mind as gas prices go up.

And for those of youse who don't want to talk politics, check this out: Garlic powder is the bass player of spices. Salt? Guitarist. Pepper? Drummer.

Hey. Hi. You know how it's a shitty position to abandon left wing comrades in right wing states? Keep that in mind as gas prices go up.

This sort of gesture, to release what many have wanted for decades and give all the proceeds to your late comrade's charity, that is friendship. fugazi.bandcamp.com/album/albini...

Heeeyyyyyyyyyyy

We can have a little schadenfreude, as a treat

Did someone steal the lepers' gold AGAIN? WE TALKED ABOUT THIS

AGAIN!

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

God I love trashy 80s death metal. "Intonation? Never heard of 'em, man. They European?"

Perhaps it's the looking back, but this is how early SY looks to me now: Confusion = NYC nightmares BMR = desert nightmares Evol = SoCal nightmares, with just enough sun to shine on how fucked up the rest is Sister = Scifi nightmares, but also dreams Daydream = mostly dreams, befitting the title

Eclectic ACME haul

Too many folks on the social media today trying to relitigate things in the past. We can learn from the past but we can't change it, and shaming people who you think caused it isn't going to change it. Anyway I'm going to go record shopping.

As a true-hearted folkie (who also really loves distortion and feedback) I was all in on this episode, until @hollywoodsteve.bsky.social shit-talked the Jefferson Airplane. The Lust, Caution bit in the after show, though! RIGHT back in!

Congratulations to the buds at No Such Thing on their 200th episode! Looking forward to Gerry B. days of Summer!

Even now, there are Thursdays.

New Show: Minibeast, IfIHadAHiFi, Primitive Broadcast Service Sun May 17 2026 MKE Ultra https://mkeshows.com/event/minibeast-ifihadahifi-primitive-broadcast-service

This is gonna rule, so if you can't participate by playing, at least save the date!

I had a potentially interesting thought about music formats and the way I have been experiencing new music. It's a thread. Please, follow me, if you will:

He's there because the homecoming queen got murdered, and you all are CELEBRATING? Sick, you're all sick.

Am enjoying the NIN show so far, but still waiting for this guy to show up

Youse guys like BAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS???

It's too damn cold but it's really pretty so

The important thing to remember about the SOTU is that if you care at all what he has to say, you can burn 60-90 minutes of your life watching it or you can read the transcript online in 3 minutes afterward and spare your blood pressure.

I don't know how I got so lucky as to be surrounded by so many incredible musicians and artists. Wait, yes I do: Be kind, make art, make it your own, do it for the right reasons, and you'll find your people. This is a post about PRF Thundersnow

Signs of life

A story told in blankets

Greetings from the northernmost US

Let the door hit you on the way out. Really, really, REALLY hard.

Even from another time zone, it's Thursday already!

Got in the mood to put on 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 by Midnight Oil as I try to get sleepy. Rob Hirst, man. Rob Hirst.

On the other

On one hand

You're not going to like this answer, and neither do I, but it's "Christmas at Ground Zero"

Gotta work three days before Thundersnow and keep focused, so: Radio Soulwax all day

Once you unlock the secret of sodium citrate, there's a whole world of melty cheese to discover. Mac and cheese with 18 month gouda and beer for the melting liquid? WHY THE FUCK NOT?

Y'know it's a little frustrating that Roger Corman could make beautiful artful films, but mostly didn't because they didn't make enough money.

From me to you

it’s Thursday already
