New study summary I wrote for Faunalytics. Check it out!
Bullfighting frames the bull as both a fearsome competitor and a barely sentient beast whose suffering is reduced to entertainment. This study looks at how spectators justify their enjoyment of this controversial sport. faunalytics.org/the-bullfigh…

No kidding, some of Bradford Cox’s work as Atlas Sound is some of my favorite music ever. Like ‘Shelia,’ perfect song. Really bummed I couldn’t be at this but so pleased Bradford came to Philly to make his musical return 🙌🏻
Though he participated in a noise jam at an Athens vintage market in 2023, Deerhunter and Atlas Sound’s Bradford Cox has stayed out of the public eye this decade. Today, Cox debuted all new material in a set at Making Time ∞ – his first show in seven years. [📹: @scottgum]

Saw it tonight & absolutely loved it. Absolutely stellar score & I loved its detours into camp. I've got a feeling a lot of the haters are very boring people.
Clocking in as a defender of Nicolas Winding Refn’s HER PRIVATE HELL, a film that requires you to meet it on its singular wavelength. Pino Donaggio’s gorgeous fairytale-esque score elevates the neon-noir dreamscape. Plus Refn uplifts Charles Melton to marquee level hunk status.

Due to the world being an obscene hellscape, it’s very risky to go outside rn. Might as well stay in & stream our new song 8000 times so we get a fraction of a cent! open.spotify.com/track/24pWD…
