Yet another reason to legalize on a federal level
404 Media@404media.co · 6h agoNEW: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to determine that a man “travels to Michigan frequently,” where marijuana is legal, then back to Wisconsin, where it is illegal. They then used his travel across state lines as tracked by Flock as part of the probable cause justification to search his car.
How's my week going, you ask? King Buzzo of Melvins announced a new supergroup with members of Butthole Surfers and Big Business by dropping a new song and a physical 4-track EP for sale. Sleep announced a new album with Dale Crover on drums and shared a brand new song too.

Good morning! For the @nytimes.com, I interviewed these two, plus Kid Congo Powers and more, for a story on the Cramps. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/a...
Gotta say the best rock n' roll song of all time is probably Melvins "A History Of Bad Men"
me, a journalist who first rose to prominence during Twitter's glory days: "Oh, you think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!"
We used to cop mixtapes on the street or from DatPiff. To buy Conway The Machine's latest tape, you have to endure a byzantine, data-scraping ordeal involving no fewer than five different companies. I wrote about it, and the state of Drumwork, at CABBAGES. www.cabbageshiphop.com/the-new-conw...
The New Conway Mixtape You'll Probably Never Hear

I saw Rush live over the weekend and as much as I enjoyed the show it did not make me a Rush "fan"
I saw the Melvins live last night and none of you can take that away from me
ICYMI: I interviewed Cargo Cults, the hip-hop duo of Alaska and Zilla Rocca, for CABBAGES. www.cabbageshiphop.com/cargo-cults-...

I went down to D.C. for this Tiny Desk (thanks Lars) and will have more to say on the awesome experience soon...
Lars Gotrich@totalvibration.bsky.social · last wk.billy woods + ELUCID + Kenny Segal + Human Error Club + Ryan Crosby = Armand Hammer x Tiny Desk Really enjoyed cooking this one up with Kenny, who has made many of my favorite beats. This is basically the first time Armand Hammer's played with a band on-camera. youtu.be/uP23-YE-T30?...
Weathered the storm/floods yesterday by basically locking myself indoors with weed and snacks to watch six movies in a row and today I need to leave the house to see if any part of my neighborhood looks like Waterworld which incidentally was not one of the six movies I watched yesterday
Real cineaste ass question: do I really need to spend the extra $$$ see The Odyssey in a premium format like IMAX/4DX or will a standard screening at a movie theatre be fine?
Likely I’m the first publicly out transsexual who ever lost her hearing for a day because of a dry ice bomb while listening to “How Bizarre” at work, want to know the rest, hey….

every once in a while i'll post a song and some rando will either reply or dm me with a grievance against the artist. like, i shouldn't be listening to them because they bailed on a meet and greet in boise, idaho three years ago. grow up
Been using this for about a day, importing old concerts from 2011 and on, and it's reminded me of bands I used to love seeing live like Torche

'1996’s Stag remains one of the weirdest rock albums ever to appear on a major label. It was Melvins’ eighth album in total, and the final of three to be released by Atlantic Records.' Many Happy Returns to #Melvins’ Stag, which turns 30 today! buff.ly/r4vg8MQ
Scoop: The AI music generator Suno was hacked. Hacker shared source code that shows how the tool was made and part of the music and podcasts that were scraped to create it. Decades worth of music, lyrics, and podcasts from YouTube, Deezer, Genius & more www.404media.co/hack-reveals...
Honestly, with the way perfectly good apps get enshittified these days, I've grown wary and weary of even ones that match my interests.
