I reviewed the new Friko album for @popmatters.com.

I want approximately 100 hours of this alone. Could not land more squarely within my intersection of fixations.

Classic 'why not both' situation from my (vegan) perspective.

What's a Benson Boone?

Pure taste across the board.

This is a valid point: whenever you see this sort of high-pressure sales tactic turned on a technology, you can be CERTAIN that it's a fake—actually useful new tech sells itself!

And don't underestimate the effectiveness of FOMO as a tool in the hands of a con artist.

Magnetic Fields' 'i' appreciation post.
22 years later. Dozens and dozens of complete listens.
Underrated entry in that unbelievable discography.

Perfect prescription.

La Bouche defenders, rise up.

Vine-ready content, truly.

Endearing, tbh.

My Geese is washed.

Yes and no. The blessings far outnumber any disappointments, though.

It strikes me that even in things like the Matrix where they're all in simulation, it's a shared simulation.

One horror of the chatbot is that everyone is isolated into their own reality with the amplifying social permission of a group, and none of the friction

Any reason (or none at all) will do. I say this as a ‘Crawl’ fan.

Someone put words to it. Must watch.

Great interview! I'll be reviewing this one soon. They stole the show, in some respects, at that Flaming Lips/Modest Mouse show I told you about.

'What year is this?' indeed.

I think they did ask that, and 'approximately' was the answer/addendum.

On this, the anniversary of the premiere of 'Twin Peaks,' I'm happy to share Stephen Kurczy's wonderful and strange 'Trapped in Twin Peaks.' Kurczy contributed this to the Lynch series I'm editing at Caméra-Stylo, and it's well worth your time.

Prescribed serving size is already generous. Double up and count down to bliss.

The aggressive anti-A.I.ers among us thank you.

This is one thing I inform my students about across courses. Teachers: Demonstrate in class how faulty the AI overviews are. The students catch on quickly, and just spending a few minutes from time to time reminding them of the many reasons they should avoid this abomination can be very edifying.

This one HURTS.

Ears are ready.

Nice! I just interviewed another artist about found physical media (specifically of the past) and album cover art, so I’m on this trail at the moment.

Is that a reflection of a Mini DV tape? An audio cassette tape? I'm intrigued.
