Here's why I feel nuts every time I open either social media app: People respond to dimensional pieces of art on a two-dimensional platform, then use that platform to state their personal opinion as an objective truth because it gets better engagement. It's like watching everyone lie all the time

I wrote about how my process for making music has changed over the past twenty years and six albums in my newsletter. It's pretty wild to look back and examine my quirky methodology from back in the day. cadenceweapon.substack.com/p/notes-on-p...

Look it’s simple: AI saves you the time and labor that would normally go into “thinking” so you can spend half that time laboring about whether or not AI is “thinking” like a human, and the other half of that time on Instagram Reels
'The Hangover' bit in Nirvana The Band The Show The Movie is the perfect joke. It should be in a museum. I'm laughing at it even now, right now, again
My favorite mode of jazz isn't all the way out, but stuff that's looking out from the doorway, dreamy, grounded. And this Tomeka Reid record is right in that sweet spot: heavy, in the pocket, but a full trip outofyourheadrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dance-...

Proud to share that the 2nd ever Saturday track review on @pitchfork.com is a review of "Murder She Wrote" which is really my tribute to the genius of Sly Dunbar but also a love letter to @basementbhangra.bsky.social & all the versions of Bam Bam as yet unborn: pitchfork.com/reviews/trac...

A couple thoughts: I think the music criticism we publish is exceptional and worth paying for. I think music as an art form is inherently personal & lends itself to communal engagement and individual authority, which can live side by side. And though Pitchfork means a lot to me, it's only a website

I used to think "Tonight there's going to be a jailbreak/Somewhere in this town" was a bad lyric because, well, would't it be at the jail? But no it's an amazing lyric because it insinuates the jailbreak is NOT at the jail, therefore making it inherently figurative. That's Irish excellence for you.

Hard to find a good cabal these days. Every cabal I'm in is either too shadowy or not nearly shadowy enough.
Every year I'm saved by one album that is so rewarding on a kinetic, intellectual, and spiritual level — and for me it was Elly and Josh's masterpiece. I hope you can find some time to surrender to its power, it's monumental.
