Mamdani supporters should rally to repeal the requirement that a U.S. President must be a natural born Citizen. Could move the Overton Window, if nothing else,.

Oceanfront Property #8 w/ David Lerner New Mexico's David Lerner (of the outstanding duo Trummors) is back with another essential exploration of the many faces of the realest outlaw country, Cosmic American Music, and honky tonk glory. Enj...

Theory about R.E.M: Everything went downhill after Peter Buck bought a mandolin and wrote "Losing My Religion"

Rare night out for the Trummors crew last night. We clean up ok

Open-back headphones recommendations for the home studio enthusiast on a budget? Looking for accuracy over coloration.

The other Gillian and Dave

Do other countries use the term nepo baby, or is it only a US term because our default mode is rugged individualism/class doesn't exist?

My partner is now obsessed with a certain polka dotted duo...I suppose this is payback for inundating her with Gillian & Dave for a year

Physical Dream, by Sam Blasucci 28 track album

Sam Blasucci's latest and greatest. Strong AOTY contender

"A reactionary nationalist trend of the Jewish bourgeoisie, which had followers along the intellectuals and the more backward sections of the Jewish workers. The Zionists endeavored to isolate the Jewish working-class masses from the general struggle of the proletariat."

Joseph Stalin's analysis of Zionism in "Marxism and the National Question" (1913) makes more sense than the establishment Democrat position in 2026

Angine de Poitrine is the Meow Wolf of bands

I never use that word in academic writing without explicitly referring to Crenshaw

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

All One Song :: James Jackson Toth on “Thrasher” - Aquarium Drunkard And here to talk with us about “Thrasher” is ⁠James Jackson Toth⁠, a terrific songwriter whose career matches Neil in terms of eclectic, exploratory and highly personalized vibes. He’s been a man of m...

So stoked that my Partscaster Precision Bass almost ready to ship. Here it is in the builder’s shop in upstate NY

Pressing Concerns: Mythical Motors, Bill Baird, Hour, Trummors Hey there! We’re starting up a stacked week with a Pressing Concerns featuring four albums that came out last week: new LPs from Mythical Motors, Bill Baird, Hour, and Trummors. If you like p…

From two years ago: Wrote about records from Mythical Motors, Bill Baird, Hour, and Trummors:

Guess who has to retake his written and road driving tests? Yep, it's me...fun!

Geese are noteworthy for being an exception to the rule. 99999/100000 artists that pay a PR firm for digital marketing are flushing money down the toilet

It's goofy and probably illegal that bots and algorithmic manipulation are par for the course, but I'd like to see the data on all the bands that tried this and failed. And also whether or not it works overseas or is purely a US phenomenon.

Boston fern

My industry plant is looking a little haggard. How can I spring her back to life?

Mine too

According to The New Yorker's in-house style for italicizing publication names, only "The" and "-er" should be in italics.

What They DON'T Want You to Hear: Angine de Poitrine YouTube video by Scott's Bass Lessons

I love that bass nerds (complimentary) Scott Devine and Ian Martin Allison did an Angine de Poitrine episode.

Decided to cancel my plans of driving around to radio stations with 45s and a sack of cash. Oh, and that list of record label phone numbers I found discarded outside an LA phone booth? Doubt it's of much use. Back to the drawing board!

Skimmed the Geese article. It seems times have changed, so I'd like to announce that we'll no longer be sending physical press kits with 8x10 b&w glossies of us by snail mail. Probably no more cassettes with typewritten letters to music critics either.

The only industry plant I’m aware of is Robert

Glad they let Gram in the Hall of Fame so he can hang out in spirit with his buddies the Eagles

Really surprised Orbán didn't win with those movie star good looks and all

The Mastermind: good reminder that Kelly Reichardt is one of our best living filmmakers
