UFO or Die at CBGBs 1991. Just my absolute favorite everything here. Eye's guitar playing is fantastic. (kinda reminds me of Austin in Sediment Club) UFO or Die's album is amazing too, but different. Wish there was a studio recording of this set.

UFO or Die/ Yamatsuka Eye at CBGB NYC Dec 23, 1991

Best holiday concert EVER. Part of an evening that included John Zorn, Haino Keiji, And Eye trading off in various configurations for short sets. Shot by me on a Canon Hi8 recorder. #johnzorn #haino #yamatsuka #eyeyamatsuka #hainokeiji #boredoms #ufoordie

Hell yeah the new St Vitus is just 4 blocks from my apartment! This is why I will probably never leave Bushwick.

Doctors could be a little more honest about how a vaccine will make you feel shitty. It convinces yr body you caught something & stages an immune response. You will feel bad! (probably just for 24-48 hrs) That's how it works. But usually they will only predict "a little soreness in yr arm."

Companies (and govts) are gonna wind up paying human designers overtime for all the extra fix-up work on their AI-generated slop presentations. It's even worse than the human-management-generated slop designers were already fixing up!

There is a BRAND NEW Radio Shock song on this comp celebrating 10 yrs of underground NYC tiny venue Skinny Apartment! A huge collection of oddball outsider music & noise artist who've played there. Is my track too much of a normal rock song for this comp? 😬 Check it out & let me know!

The Brooklyn version of Backrooms is when you go into one of the 99 cent stores that has a tiny storefront but then it goes way further back than you thought and you get to the back and it opens into a whole second area focused on pots & pans or storage bins or rugs.

Trump really seems to believe the voter ID laws will help Republicans win elections. But Is that actually true? We know non-citizens are not actually voting, and when I picture the typical MAGA fan, I don't see someone who has a passport and knows where their birth certificate is.

Please no spoilers - but I did a rewatch of Stranger Things, finally into final season, and it is just so good. I know it is the most mainstream popular thing, but it is just solidly good at everything it aims to do, in a way so few things are, especially these streaming series.

Dammit, I wrote a song while my guitar was tuned wrong and now I think I need to buy a capo so I can play it after fixing the tuning.

OF COURSE. A snake raised on a diet of its own tail. The slop is just going to get more sloppy and samey. "People training new AI models admit they just get chatbots to do it"

People training new AI models admit they just get chatbots to do it

The next generation of AI models are meant to be trained by people paid to have conversations with them, but several of these workers have admitted to New Scientist that they simply get chatbots to do it instead. This "AI inbreeding" may reduce the power and usefulness of future models, warn experts

I'm at the Breeders show and happy to report there are a lot of teenage and 20-something alternative rockers out here.

Absolutely sinister, and should be highly illegal. Do not support these scam gambling companies.

Many of those videos were reportedly filmed on “near-perfect copies” of the Polymarket website, while featuring trades and winnings that were not real.

You think it's hard making friends as an adult? Try forming a band.

Every person on social media finding nerdy plot holes in movies or shows needs to be introduced to the concept of the No Prize. Don't you want to win a No Prize? Well you gotta do the second part!

Just passed a guy on the sidewalk who was dressed like Shaggy. Note: if you wear an olive green v-neck shirt with brown pants, you will look like Shaggy, which is fine, but may not be your intent.

Retweeting this thought on the so-called "masters of the universe"

A handful of weird bodybuilders squabbling with some mutants over a run down castle in a barren wasteland hardly seem like they deserve the title "Masters of the Universe."

The internet took a wrong turn leaving RSS behind. We could have built social media on that foundation instead of winding up with these corporate owned feeds like Facebook, Twitter, etc.

This album! Gay Beast "Disrobics" so mind-blowing great. Whole band is killing it in every second but I want to point yr attention to the drumming! It has no business going THIS hard! Selected my fave song as a sample, I sing this every time I hear "identity politics"

This new Spaceballs movie better have a Baby Yogurt character. In fact I'm expecting baby versions of all the characters, but most looking forward to Baby Barf. (Puppy Barf?)

I'm not a plumber. But I'm pretty sure that's not how sinks work.

Fascinating early Boredoms performance, 1986! Playing stuff closest to Onanie Bomb material, the band dressed kinda glam? goth? Doesn't yet have the bombast to come, but a very cool sort of deconstruction of a rock band.

Wish we had 20 more yrs of Albini's wit & music, but how badass for the last song on yr last album to be "I Don't Fear Hell" w lyrics "and when this is over I'll leap in my grave like the arms of a lover. If there's a heaven I hope they're having fun, cause if there's a hell I'm gonna know everyone"

Lately I've seen ppl using their car's flashers to parallel park. This is NOT what you do to indicate parallel parking, at least not when I took the driving test in New York. (use blinker) Flashers can be used for double parking, and you can see the confusion this causes in NYC. Am I wrong?

I wonder if this correlation is largely because we're choosing coffee instead of sugary soda/"energy" drinks.

I hate nearly everything about Tik-Tok/Reels/short videos. Hate the finger-wagging, hate the overused baby songs, hate the pointless reaction videos, hate the lip syncing to audio clips, hate the overdubbed laugh, hate the "influencers," hate car accidents & injuries as "fails"
