No you’re absolutely doing it right.

So sorry to hear about Doug Shaw, who figured in this interview with Geologist. aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/03/03/g...

First radiation session done and i feel ok.

“The Bug Club pushes onward in its giddy trek through punk and pop, leaning into the silliness but not afraid of the dark, either,” writes Jennifer Kelly. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8182312... @fdnieto.bsky.social

Home again

Coffee at Rex.

I has a glass of wine at a bar and one of the best meals of my life and saw a great play and life can be so fucking sweet sometimes.

Going to a play

Yes, randomly, a statue of a hippo in a dress near Fordham.

More Dust for your Friday. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8179707...

Zabar

Almost to the city

This month’s Dust is so big we needed to split things in to two parts. This time out, we cover everything from ambient to punk-adjacent power pop to death metal to avant-turntablism to free improvisation to jazz standards to guitar blues. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8179594...

“If you’re expecting another slathering of extended, guitar-centric out-disco jams from this pair of musical chameleons, think again,” writes Bryon Hayes. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8178804... glissandro70.bandcamp.com/album/g70-2-... @hazycomet.bsky.social

I’ve got an obscuro release that’s kicking my ass, two days in a row i sit down to write and nothing happens. But today is the day.

“These are stark, aggressive punk rock songs, only lightly touched by melody,” writes Jennifer Kelly. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8178688...

Best of random Thursday is this pristine slice of psychedelic pop, Satoimagae’s “Manuke.” satomimagae.bandcamp.com/track/manuke

“The intoxicating balance between ferocious feedback and sing-song-y melody has clearly shifted in the latter’s favor.” My take on feeble little horse’s “surprise” album at @bandcamp.com daily.bandcamp.com/album-of-the...

“Is Bo White the best lyricist in post-punk? Is Patois Counselors the best band?” asks Jennifer Kelly. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8177895... @evernever.bsky.social

“Here we are, in the great breadth of American pop music, covering most of a continent,” writes Justin Cober-Lake. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8177782...

IDK if you can tell but after three weeks off chemo I now have enough eyelashes to wear mascara again. Small victories.

“The three musicians connect tradition to the present intheir willingness to incorporate noise, drone and free improvisation into their tunes, their love of field recordings, and their clear-eyed, unsentimental perspective on their rural southern communities.” aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/05/26/m...

Incredible images. youtu.be/_3BEsMtLhzU?...

“It may be a testament to the power of mid-1980s punk that crate-diggers and amateur musicologists are still finding underappreciated records to reissue and return to some degree of public consciousness,” writes Jonathan Shaw. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8176990...

“These two artists conjure sprawling cosmologies of sound, animated by a precise and careful architecture but open to the possibility of spiritual mysteries,” writes Jennifer Kelly. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8176875...

Listening to WFMU, finding more records i want again. knitting.bandcamp.com/album/souvenir

I will never get tired of those videos of people in Knicks jerseys dancing in the streets.

It was crazy.

I’m just up early liking Knicks content across platforms.

Go Knicks!!! Hope it’s the Spurs (not cos it’ll be easy but because they’re so fun)

Hey @b-kellyjr.bsky.social wanna cash in the IRAs?

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” Dune (1965) Frank Herbert

Short but gorgeous, this portrait of a difficult, brilliant man, bracketed by two attempts at recorded conversation, one open and failed, the other surreptitious and successful.

I've been pretty into Verity Den's drone-y, VU-ish rock songs, but here they are in a different mode, with two long-form improvisations. verityden.bandcamp.com/album/ix-xvi...

Shorter: art is dying because the rent is too damn high. Thanks to @b-kellyjr.bsky.social direct.mit.edu/octo/article...

A friend of mine works for education content farms…and i had no idea how AI-slopped public education had gotten.

The new Zoh Amba record is not what I was expecting (improv sax) but instead kind of a punky country album. It’s growing on me. youtu.be/yY2DNVN5LGE?...

“The narrative surrounding Ed O’Brien’s second album, Blue Morpho, centers on the Radiohead guitarist’s struggles with depression during the pandemic,” writes Tim Clarke. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8173365... @nicemanwashing.bsky.social

“But less surface intensity doesn’t mean that the songs make less of an impression,” writes Christian Carey. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8173251... @joyfulnoiserecs.bsky.social @cbcarey.bsky.social

“The moment-by-moment decision-making heard on For Baritone Sax, Double Bass & Drumset is where the real composing takes place,” writes Bill Meyer. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8172459... @relativepitch.bsky.social

“If you’re looking for a reason to take a deep breath and chill, Virga III is as good as you’ll find,” writes Jennifer Kelly. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8172346... @tempresltd.bsky.social

Random Thursday’s best was the first one out of the shuffle, Dark Blue’s cover art of “For You.” darkblueskins.bandcamp.com/album/fight-...

“The two new tracks let a tropical breeze float through Gunn’s melodies; you might suspect, even without seeing the promo photo, that he’s spent time at the beach lately,” writes Jennifer Kelly. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8171553...

Too much?

If Knicks win the title, Mamdani gets to be Mayor for Life. Those are the rules.

“ It’s hard to know just how seriously the members of Shewolff, Belgium-based blackened punks, wish to be taken, or if it’s all a gag,” writes Jonathan Shaw. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8171439...

I love this photo so much.
