As many of you will recall, the poem in the shape of beating Henry Kissinger to death is perhaps the single greatest piece of literature of this century.

These "Mini Twin Cowers" figurines date to right before 9/11, but I guess I just thought the people ought to see them.

This rules. Fans of electric Miles and MMW take note

Giraffe—Dave Harrington, Spencer Zahn, Robert Walter & Kosta Galanopoulos—make loose, funky jams for long, lazy days getting shorter and twitchier. Hazy afternoons turn to sharp evenings, restless nights. Laid-back music with something unsettling underneath. aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/08/25/g...

Fever dream I sketched out-havent done a personal poster piece in 9months so this will take sometime!!! But also Yojimbo rules so yoloooo

Matt Walsh complains that Nolan brought his obsession with nonlinear story telling to the Odyssey, undercutting the original's narrative. The defenders of western civilisation, folks.

The lost art of record collecting; homemade hot jazz and blues sleeves. All the records (often transcription discs) in this thread are housed in hand-drawn and hand-assembled jackets. True labours of love by the original collectors. This is a sub-set of folk art that deserves wider appreciation.

Had the pleasure of chatting with Roger McGuinn this afternoon, and let me tell you how much I was NOT expecting him to bust out his Rickenbacker and play the “Eight Miles High” riff for me. I will never recover!

Mostly I just hope this means Melt-Banana will announce some east coast dates. It's been simply too long since I've seen my favorite live band.

To be fair, crass exploitation for money is a great way to honor his legacy

I’ve come around really hard on a few of the bands of that era that I hated at the time hit the goo goo dolls fucking suck and will always suck

I would also appreciate it if a bunch of nerds helped me iron out any bugs in this: andrewblair.co.uk/apps/who-tit... #doctorwho

What good is power when you're too wise to use it?

Alice is a force & a total delight! We talked her collab w/ Hazel, Libba Cotten's chicken & dumplings, integrated tours in the South "chasing after a better world," women old-time musicians she knew, and how she taught her dog to bring her a beer from the fridge (and recycle the can afterwards)

all slot machines, etc., are tuned to the key of c, in order to keep casinos literally harmonious. which means you can play any recording of terry riley's "in c" over adrian rew's field recordings & it'll sound pretty magical. (or perhaps stage a guerilla performance of "in c" in a casino.)

Think I found a field recording release that @burningambulance.bsky.social would specifically approve of. You can feel the Elmore Leonard vibes.

I wouldn't call myself a boundless optimist, but I often wonder how much better the world would be if more people listened to Lungfish

Reality bath from @gelliottmorris.com: Given Biden approval rating & inflation/consumer sentiment, "the surprise of the [2024] election is that Harris did as well as she did...the Dem nominee was on track to lose the popular vote by 4 points. She lost by 1.5." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-dnc-au...

The real reason Democrats lost in 2024

The DNC "autopsy" omits the biggest reason Democrats lost in 2024. In doing so, it fails to prepare the party for the future

Through his use of 7/8 time on his new record 'Now You Exist,' the Field's Axel Willner has found a new way to grasp at infinity

The Field's New Groove

How the surprisingly emotional use of an unusual time signature powers the ambient-techno god’s best track in years.

The Case for Ska

The genre is often used as a punchline, but sneering at ska discounts its long and uplifting history as “the people’s music.”

If you saw that Billy Joel documentary on HBO this year you know that this guy, the third wheel on BJ’s Long Island Polycule, the co-founder of Attila (BJ’s keyboard metal band) and director of the Uptown Girl video is the single most interesting person in it.

Billy Joel condemns upcoming biopic about his early life as ‘legally and professionally misguided’

Singer-songwriter has ‘not authorised or supported’ Billy & Me, which will be based on the story of his first manager Irwin Mazur
