Across “House of 70’s” and “Bye Bye Johnny Viola,” Chris Connelly moves through two charged moments in Lou Reed’s history, first inhabiting the grease and nervous glamour of 1970s New York, then tracing the colder aftermath of John Cale’s departure from The Velvet Underground.

i’m baffled when people are surprised by POC folks’ involvement in post-punk/art rock/new wave/alt in the 80’s, like do they think the crooked, Dutch angle perspective of the music didn’t partially come from the Kafkaesque reality we as POC live?

if you’re a dude thinking “i’ve never done anything disgusting” (citations needed) then you’ve more than likely sat there quietly while your friend did something disgusting or bragged about doing something disgusting. you cannot absolve yourself.

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

I'm listening to every album from 2026 (not really). @cheekface.bsky.social Podium is funky, weird, ridiculously catchy and somehow makes songs about politics, chatbots, money and modern life incredibly fun to listen to. I wrote about it here: everythingnotreally.com/2026/09/21/p...

Podium (2026) - Everything (Not Really)

Cheekface blends sharp wit, political satire and ridiculously catchy grooves on Podium, their funkiest and most musically adventurous album yet.

Four new designs are up on my Threadless shop in honor of this sad excuse for a holiday. They're not discounted because they're already as cheap as I can afford to make them, but they DO make wonderful gifts for any goths, creeps, and freaks you're shopping for today. ♥ thorazos.threadless.com

lol the vibe shift in AI hype feels like a ploy by U.S. tech bros to permanently keep out competitors. They are cosplaying concern so they can "regulate" their competitors out of existence. It's not about safety. It's about money.

The once-outstanding Baltimore Sun has switched to AI slop political cartoons on its editorial page. They are as ghastly as you would imagine. The Sun is now owned by the CEO of the rightwing Sinclair TV Empire. He turned it MAGA. The paper lost 25% of its circulation this year.
