I LOVE Slowdive, I but I REALLY love Mojave 3. These days— I hear them simultaneously when I listen to either.
A real treat. I mean, you can get the 'boy Mazzy Star are great' connection (literally talk about this in my Patreon entry tomorrow) but given Slowdive's "Some Velvet Morning" cover, them going this route absolutely could happen, and did.
it’s difficult to convey the impact this album had on slowdive fans when they pivoted to Mojave 3, to be clear we loved it, a lot

For anyone who frequents their local record store, the term “cheap heat” is likely a familiar one. Ramsey Lewis’ 1970 funky soul jazz gem Them Changes, a record we’ve never seen priced higher than $10 that burns hot.

Brett Kavanaugh just declared that SCOTUS's majority endorses racist policing, and has discarded the Court's obligation to protect the fundamental rights of the most vulnerable among us. But Kavanaugh's colleagues probably would have preferred he kept his mouth shut,
as @lizdye.bsky.social explains.

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.

That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:

Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.
I wrote a bit about the misguided effort by Democrats to replicate Joe Rogan the right-wing podcast ecosystem.

President Trump has issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR. This is the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.

Whatever changes this action brings, NPR’s commitment to reporting the news – without fear or favor – will never change.
