Surreal and beautiful to see your favorite band touring and promoting their new album. Shearwater has been on a long journey; The New World is another assured step into uncharted territory.

We’re doing an /r/indieheads AMA this Friday at 11AM Eastern. Ask us about dogs, Antarctica, music supervision, or our new record, The New World. Nothing is too large or small. You can already ask questions now, but we’ll be answering them live on Friday. www.reddit.com/r/indieheads...

Will Smith's rap theme for Elden Ring is like "There's no debate that the Praetor is a traitor / I think I see a snake in my soup there, waiter"

Barthes sometimes hits on thoughts I have often puzzled over myself and then crafts a sort of path for them. "No progress in pleasures, nothing but mutations."

Just learned imitation crab is called "seafood extender" in Australia. Delightful.

"Is [x] the real villain of Elden Ring" is not an interesting thread to pull. If you can find a character in Elden Ring without blood on their hands (literal, karmic-historic, or both), I've got a life-size human puppet to sell you.

I love a turkey sandwich, man. I can get through a lot for a good turkey sandwich.

Not every day you see an indie rock (?) album likened to the oeuvre of Nobel laureate Kazuo Ishiguro but then again that’s the kind of album it is.

'The New World,' simply put, is Shearwater’s masterpiece, a consummate expression of the Texas band’s ethos. REVIEW: glidemagazine.com/328333/with-...

A lot of what I call "me" is a bodiless bundle of nervous sensation that's been tunneling its way through the internet for 30 years.

Well, it happened. An apartment company put me on a lease as [Name] Marzipan.

Your inner life — that little spark of battered beauty

I'm creating my own Elden Ring lore iceberg and it is pretty cracked. I have already mentioned the gold standard and cryptocurrency.

I love pour-over coffee and listening to albums and watching clouds and reading books and sitting in computerless moments as my body absorbs time.

I want to stop watching superhero movies and start repairing the world.

In theaters, I think Sam Raimi's A Simple Plan. My friend's mom bought us tickets.

Do you remember what *your* first R-rated movie was? I finally asked my mom (I couldn't remember), and she told me it was The Lost Boys when I was roughly the same age as my daughter (about 9). The movie traumatized her more than it did me, apparently

I haven't vetted Intrinsic to like, a legal-financial degree, but they seem serious about keeping Letterboxd unbad and user-focused as its current owners prepare to sell. I contributed to their campaign. seedandspark.com/fund/buylett...

If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.

Shearwater is the best rock n' roll band still kicking.

Melon Kuma, a terrifying hybrid of a melon and a bear, is a character from Yubari City in Hokkaido, and was inspired by wild brown bears destroying melon patches in the area. He visited the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building today.

How is it November already?
