I radically restructured the form; I may do lengthy personal essays and creative nonfiction here again, but after a long break and a lot of thought I just want to talk about prog records for a while. I’m fucking hungry for it. this also spans quite wide, from avant rock to classic prog to indie
I Am Listening to Progressive Rock returns!
@pyramidmaster.bsky.social picks the best prog releases of winter, with a couple of old favorites for good measure

This album makes me so happy.
I wrote about Dianna Russini, the constant pressure female reporters face to prove they aren't sleeping with sources (plus the pressure we do get from sources to get involved with them), and why all of this is so uncomfortable to talk about.

Yoko Tawada—exophone, master of the "poetic ravine," genius—is my favorite living author. Maybe she will be yours too: defector.com/yoko-tawada-...
The antilinearity of concussion recovery is maddening. You feel mentally itchy, agitated with the state of your addled brain. You are in pain, though it flickers up in different ways and at different intensities, depending on the day, the hour. You will try to grasp for a word to express the sensation, only for the grasping itself to exacerbate your pain. You can feel the physical effort of thinking. It's like lying down with a thick slab of rock on your chest that you cannot squirm out from under. Any movement only heightens the sensation of being pressed, as does any increase in heart rate or aerobic activity. You just have to lie there.
Victor Wembanyama has a concussion. I wrote about that means: painful uncertainty defector.com/the-scariest...
would you guys like me to do some service journalism and write a guide to getting a cool tattoo
More people should listen to me.
God DAMN this album rules.
The world always needs more hedonistic pop music, and Jessie Ware continues to create it.

The Pitchfork review of this album is wrong. Mine is right.
Her new album rules!
"I couldn’t necessarily put into words what my feelings were or what I was going through. I was hoping to be more metaphorical, not so direct.”

The post-AI-bubble regulation should start by making it illegal to do circular deals - money invested cannot be used to pay for services, money invested cannot be used for buying hardware, etc, etc. Hell, I'm game for making it illegal to invest in customers at all.

The Block turns 10 years old later this spring.
For my debut contribution @defector.com, I spoke to the guy who called it (Mike Breen) and the guy who let it happen (Monty McCutchen) to reflect on one of the NBA's flashbulb moments: defector.com/the-block-as...
At the Gates' 'The Ghost of a Future Dead' is a fitting tribute to their late vocalist, Tomas Lindberg

Love this @desperatehours.bsky.social joint on 'Mezzanine', which came out today in 1998.
And probably a good thing to listen to roughly 16 minutes from now
At 31 minutes, 'I Guess U Had to Be There' is concise but dense, endlessly dazzling and rich in its economy.
Oh so you think Phil Collins and Iron Maiden deserve spots in the #RockNRollHallOfFame but Sade, Luther, and the Wu-Tang do not? Well sit down class, its time for a little history lesson over at @beardedgmusic.bsky.social this will be on the test...

One of the more curious inclusions in the @3313books.bsky.social Canon, it's also one of the best.
Check out the rebirth of my 2015 review of Andrew Schartmann writing about Koji Kondo's Super Mario Bros. Soundtrack.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.
There's just gotta be a line somewhere.
Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.
Album of the Week: '…Beginning of the End' applies portrayal of guilt's pursuit of new configurations and new forms of abrasion on a set that offers their most diverse set of bruisers and brawlers. Run For Cover Records

Of course I reviewed the @nin.com and Boys Noize collaborative album for @treblezine.bsky.social, I’m no dummy. www.treblezine.com/nine-inch-na...
The new Portrayal of Guilt album is an absolute ripper, and I wrote about it for @treblezine.bsky.social
