(trying to hit on Rosalina [from the Super Mario]) haha yeah i just think we have a lot in common! we both love space, our moms are both dead, i could go on

are the FR/LG re-releases on Switch wildly overpriced? yes. did i buy one? on the day of release. would i pay $60 for an Emerald re-release? friend you don’t want to know the disgusting things I’d do to play Emerald on my Switch without jail breaking it

Stanley Jordan— Magic Touch: Stanley Jordan is an immensely talented musician. I want to hear more of him in a jazz combo setting. I literally couldn’t finish this album I hated it so much. It’s so smooth I found it fucking maddening.

Khanate— Capture and Release: Two tracks, 43 minutes, the best thing Khanate ever did. Like a great horror film, affecting and delightfully spooky in equal measure. Do you know how good a haunted house would be with this as its soundtrack?

Black Kray— 700 Dagreez: I’m gonna be honest, I do not remember a single word said on this. But the vibes? The vibes! Good lord the vibes. Who needs anything else

if i ever got rabies i’d change my name to Yung Yeller and release the worst mixtape you’ve ever heard before dying horribly a few days later

Secret Chiefs 3— First Grand Constitution and Bylaws: a less coherent go at Disco Volante. i adore Disco Volante, so i’m a sucker for this shit

saying i have a porn addiction but what i mean is i spend too much money whenever Mélusine has a sale. those limited edition slipcovers seduce me every time

Lou Reed— The Raven: Negative reviews of this like “i’m too good to listen to willem dafoe and steve buscemi recite heavily edited edgar allan poe passages inbetween what are mostly not great Lou Reed songs” i’m not! outta my way straight boy

when you’re watching the english dub of an italian exploitation movie and a character says “mama mia!” 🤩

Spacemen 3— Sound of Confusion: The best Spacemen 3 album, mostly because it sounds better than the others when played loud as fuck. Sounds like how i imagine garage rock must’ve sounded when it was the new wild shit.

The Pharcyde— Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde: Outside of a few jokes that didn’t age great, pretty unimpeachable. But you knew that. “Great album is great”, breaking news story. But now *I* know it too.

Stone Temple Pilots— Core: “What if Pearl Jam were even worse?”, the question apparently millions of people wanted answers to in 1992.

Mattin— Gora: I can see why he got into working with people like Radu Malfatti. Yeah, it’s harsh noise, but the usage of vast dynamic ranges, wide stereo space, and timbral creativity puts him more in league with Keith Rowe than Incapacitants. Very rewarding.

Godflesh— Post Self: For the past week, whenever I didn’t know what to put on, I’ve just re-listened to this. Perhaps controversial, but I think it’s my favorite Godflesh album? The textures here are just so tasty, yum yum yum give me more Mr. Flesh

drove my gf to her gyno appointment and Hoobastank is playing in the lobby. i’d prefer if they weren’t.

The Scourge of Online Sports Betting - The American Prospect States and leagues must face up to the damage from app-based gambling for the next generation of bettors, most of them young men.

Very annoyed at the people who decided to open the floodgates to online sports betting, it is absolutely a scourge. Great piece from Gabrielle Gurley on people spending hours a day on these predatory apps.

Ponytail— Ice Cream Spiritual: Candy-coated math rock with an energy I inevitably found tiring by the end. Will I listen to it again? Probably not. If they reformed and went on tour would I see them live? Enthusiastically and without question.

Otomo Yoshihide and Sachiko M— Filament 1: Difficult music even for me, low and high end both pushed in ways that can sometimes border on painful, but rewarding nonetheless, a thorough and occasionally even moving display of sine waves, turntable rumble, and broken audio cables.

Carcass— Heartwork: The change from Reek of Putrefaction to this is massive. I like that first record, but it’s absolutely for the better. Balancing the melodic and technical sides of its death metal is something I’ve rarely seen done so deftly, refining and perfecting both.

begging leftists to stop developing parasocial relationships with politicians

Pet Shop Boys— Introspective: Let’s finally start this round out, and start it right. I’d somehow never listened to a full PSB album before, and I can confirm it was a foolish mistake to wait this long. This shit is impeccable, and their cover of “Always On My Mind” transcendent.

turns out, Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde? fucking great! sound of the summer, has anyone else heard about this yet

had the classic millennial white girl experience today of finally listening to a famous hip-hop album i’d been meaning to get to for years and going OH that’s where that Girl Talk sample is from

huh weird, if you go to the site itself it’s fine, and the url for the article is the same, but if you click this link it doesn’t work…bizarre

First CES panel. Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese is proud of his company's integration with OpenAI, which involves giving AI read/write access to tax data. Since prompt injection attacks are unavoidable, I asked him who will be liable when customer data is exposed: Intuit, OpenAI, etc?

He had no idea.
