One of my favorite year-end lists has long been my good friend @dbanthony.bsky.social's. While there's usually little overlap, his taste in metal, hardcore, and punk is awesome. Plus, his knowledge and passion for these genres are unmatched www.formerclarity.com/the-former-c...

I've always felt that No Expectations and Former Clarity were strange complementary pieces; differing in focus but united in approach. If you don't subscribe to Josh's newsletter—and I am sure you already do—get after it.

Don't let Plosivs' bad artwork stop you from listening to their album

It sounds exactly like a supergroup of guys from Pinback, Drive Like Jehu, and Against Me! should sound like

Need entertainment for your long holiday travels this weekend?

This episode is my favorite interview we've done! DEEDEE from MSPAINT is endless charm, southern stories, and inspiring charisma. I couldn't stop smiling all day after we recorded this one
see/saw jukebox is a bonus podcast for paid see/saw subscribers where @ninacorcoran.bsky.social + I sit down with luminaries to discuss perfect punk records.

this one was a damn hoot: MSPAINT's DEEDEE on Waffle House jukeboxes, old head scene politics, Hattiesburg, and their essential punk syllabus

Greg Ginn hadn't done an interview in 13 years when I reached out. I figured he would say no, if he said anything at all. But after enlisting three Gen Z musicians to be in Black Flag with him, he decided it was time to talk. For @nytimes.com:

We gotta start close-reading Dead Kennedys album artwork like it’s the writings of Nostradamus
Real tweets from the White House are indistinguishable from anti-Trump AI slop.

Or, in this case, 1990s Adbusters parodies.

I strongly encourage all my fellow Illinois people to give Sen. Durbin a call and let him know what you think of his choice to sell out the American people and destroy their health care for no good reason other than he’s a little tired of having to stand up for any sort of principle:

People are so brainwashed about Chicago being a crime infested hellhole that they assume white people and single family homes must be in the burbs. This is in the city.
its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites
