I don’t get nostalgic for much, but long form music journalism in magazines and early web sites will always make me wistful. RIP Brooklyn vegan & alt press you were done dirty just like the rest of this industry.
Come for the band. Stay for the book club.
My grandma had a severe gambling addiction and died with almost nothing (and what she did have, her children had to manage for her). I watched it ruin her later years. She also spent an absurd amount of time embracing conspiracy on FB. This seems like a chill and normal thing we should have.
Oligarch Watch@muskwatch.bsky.social · 2mo agoLess than four months after being found liable for building addictive design elements into Instagram, Meta is developing plans to lace its platforms with a novel gambling feature: a prediction market that could feed users an individualized stream of events to bet on.
Formally challenging booking agents to just go on a single tour once in their lives.
It's just like MAGA, except it wants a more tolerant, egalitarian society, where everyone has healthcare and the material prerequisites of a life of dignity. I guess from the perspective of the theater critics in media, that difference is invisible.

“We asked 12 experts which counting crows record is best and they all agreed it’s all of them.”
Off days on tour are just laundry days and we should stop pretending otherwise.
Reckoning with a lot on this tour. Mostly how to not eat a Costco sized bag of popcorn per 5 hour drive.
Super normal nothing to see here.

Just rolled my ankle while running / dancing in place and singing our set. A born frontman if you will.
I saw @spanishlovesongs.bsky.social and the show was a 6hr drive from my home. They had released new music that week, and this was my exact feeling. I listened to the new stuff most of the drive there to study before the exam.
Using a shitty LLM made from stolen work to take the “making” part out of “making music” is also truly some next level dork ass shit.
Whining about the film adaptation of a 3000 year old myth is truly some next level dork ass shit.
Still think about this every time someone says they hate my voice.
