I'm a Luddite who's always had skepticism about passkeys, but this tech-savvy person reveals that my suspicions were right.

I finally managed to halt the illegal release of the GOD 'Possession' LP, thankfully.....
This always happens: Whenever I play Water Damage, all other music seems superfluous.

Underrated krautrock klassik: Thirsty Moon's "Big City." Probably found most easily on wax via the FindersKeepers comp Strain Crack & Break: Music From The Nurse With Wound List Volume 2.

reminder to ALWAYS CHECK THE BACK (or in this case bottom front) of live Herbie Mann records bc after almost 30 minutes of funky comping Sharrock might twist off the most gut wrenching solo you have ever heard. Bruno Carr is crushing too. ROY AYERS! A shaggy delight! #NowPlaying

so often when you see such a dogshit, clueless music take like this you click through and yep-a Politics Guy! it’s almost a requirement that Politics Guys have zero aesthetic sensibility. that’s why they go into the one field where aesthetics go to die or be used for propaganda.
Hot damn, Howlin Rain and Ty Segall cover one of my favorite Scott Walker songs, con gusto. @SilverCRecords

My goal is to be the last person in America who knows how to use “whom” properly. You gotta dream big.

Anthropic’s investors want to make us the exit liquidity again by shoving this money furnace onto the market like SpaceX.
I will repeat. This company is worth ZERO (0.00$) dollars.
Anthropic is a doomer cult that makes a commoditized plagiarism bot they think is a machine god.

I don’t understand why farmers need an endless series of welfare payments from the rest of us since Trump took office. Aren’t his policies working for you? You need us to pay you so you will keep voting for the guy who is failing you? Don’t you believe in free market capitalism?

So @elonmusk paid for that pro-child rape ad for @VivekGRamaswamy? Along with @BillAckman?
Why are they paying for pro-child rape ads?

Amy Acton’s mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until the day he died. Republicans just paid her to star in an attack ad. Everyone involved should be fired and cast out of polite society. Fucking ghouls.
Today's the 10th anniversary of my ill-fated Betty & Miles Davis DJ night, Battle Of The Exes. The turnout was as disappointing as Miles' Cyndi Lauper cover.

The surviving members of Faust’s original line-up present four perspectives on the krautrock institution’s indomitable spirit, writes Abi Bliss in The Wire 513

RIP, Larry Hofmann, who ran the excellent Burnt Hair label out of Dearborn, MI, and was a catalyst for the Detroit area's space-rock boom in the '90s, releasing records by Windy & Carl, Füxa, Tomorrowland, Asha Vida, and Monaural, as well as singles by Flowchart and Azusa Plane.
2026 will be remembered for many things, but none more absurd than the detestable Morrissey releasing a melodramatic paean to Saint Lester Bangs.
