New review posted on LFDH. It covers the new Nelson Comes To Visit album by @superdestroyer.diysky.xyz and @leavenelsonb.bsky.social . Check out the review and then perhaps swing over to Bandcamp and pick it up. It is Bandcamp Friday after all.

Just a tiny tease of a spoiler here. @bricarmel.bsky.social announced some upcoming music, that I am personally stoked for.

Today, I would like to humble present episode 1 of Live Free DIY Hard Presents: Underground Music Conversations. In this episode we talk with @bricarmel.bsky.social about how they got started, their creative process and about making a living verses making a killing.

Folks these are the concerns that pedophiles would have. Now I am not claiming that Fox News are pedophiles but you certainly have to ask the question— Why are the editors, newscasters, and crewmembers at Fox news giving voice to things that pedophiles would be concerned with?

Fox News complains that underage teenage girls aren’t getting pregnant enough: “The problem is teens and young adults. From ages 15-19, the fertility rate is down 70% in the last 2 decades, which means we are telling people who are young not to have babies.”

I low key hate internet recipes that are like cook bacon the way you like then cook chicken w/ your favorite chicken seasoning last add your favorite veggies. Excuse sir and/or ma’am is this a recipe or an extremely vague list of ingredients suggestions.

The music I am currently listening to while on hold bares a striking resemblance to the music that plays during the finally montage in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Which would be cool, if I wanted to be all sad and shit while waiting to take care of important business.

While you absolutely don’t under any circumstances have to hand it to him at least he’s not trying to rename it Lake Trump.

Nothing screams impotent rage like renaming something you don’t even own or control 100% of.

Open letter: to the witches that keep casting all these death spells. Y’all need to be more specific. First yall accidentally took out 2 of the good ones in their 80s, then clearly you learned and were like hit the bad one in his 80s. Well you got a bad one just not the bad one.

Here a pretty good NPR report on Magic the Gathering. Pretty cool to see a game I love become so meaningful to people,

How 'Magic: The Gathering' creates transgender community

Magic: The Gathering, the fantasy card game with over 50 million enthusiasts worldwide, has become an important social outlet for some real people: the transgender community.

I honestly hate that I immediately thought of the Smashing Pumpkins video for “Tonight, Tonight” and not the French film “A Trip to the Moon” were its original from. Sigh. Billy Corgan truly has ruined everything.

Ok, that got me a good chuckle.

This is utterly heartwarming.

Chat. I have finally taken so many political surveys that I am only being sent them from absolutely insane pollsters.

I love answering political surveys that are sent to me. The ones I get, for some reason, are absolutely one sided from the right. It cracks me up. Questions be like— Does hearing this negative thing about Democrats make you not want to vote for them. I’m always like— Now I want to vote for them more

Saw a guy at the coffee shop today wearing a hat that said lonely ghost on it. I was like “cool hat” thinking it was @lonelyghostrecords.com merch. I was disappointed to discover it’s an appareal brand as well, apparently. 🫤

Finished reading big “Bury Your Gays” by @chucktingle.bsky.social yesterday. My siblings understanding that I’m somewhat of an anticapitalist myself hounded me to read it, said I would like it. Happy to report they were correct. Best book I’ve read, so far, this year.

I call this Donald Trump because it’s a Dictator.

Sorry letterboxd the best piece of media to exist about chefs and their kitchens is the tv show Kitchen Confidential a sitcom loosely based on the Anthony Bourdain book of the same name. It’s hilarious and was a favorite amongst my colleagues back when I worked in the food industry.

HUGE: Seattle will provide free meals to all public school students, starting this fall. This week the city council unanimously approved $3.6 million to offer universal school meals. /1

Look I’m not saying the proposed ICE Tazer Gloves are a good thing I’m just saying that if issued I’m taking bets for how long it takes an agent to accidentally taze his own dick off while taking a leak. I am also looking forward to the story they concoct to blame anything other than user error.

We got something in the works over here at LFDH.

Chat should LFDH cover this album??

Idk fam, I think if I was making a cartoon cat I would aim for funny over offensive. If your goal is to offend people rather than be funny I think I won’t be tuning in.

We need to have to have a reckoning with the fact that our media class is mostly just dull as fuck driving gloves Tory 65 year olds who think behaving like an insufferable cunt is cool and funny

It’s Bandcamp Friday so you should mosey on over there and buy something from your favorite DIY artist. If you need some ideas on what to pick up. You can read some reviews on livefreediyhard.com . Then, pick up whatever sounds good to you!

On May 22nd @hummusvacuum999.bsky.social released their first full length album. Read LFDH's review of the album below.

This recent turn of events in the music press has made me realize the Madden brothers (of Good Charlotte fame) are basically Bond villains.

I am increasing becoming more and more annoyed about the Trump toilet flu. My family used to eat a lot of lefty greens and now we can't unless we want to make a roll against explosive diarrhea.

Was listening to NPR this morning and heard someone refer to Democrats running a race to the bottom against the far-left in primaries. Why is it a race to the bottom when Dems want to actually help those who struggle & not a race to the bottom when Dems adopt Maga policies to court centerist voters?
