I still think about @themountaingoats.bsky.social’s review of the Strokes album “True Tales From the Un1verse” (at least that’s how I remember the name). I’m sad I never got to hear Julian C. rapping in German.

My controversial take is that Zohran got 100k votes on the strength of his absolutely on-fire campaign logo. Vaguely Zabar, vaguely Yankees, vaguely Knicks/Mets. An all-timer.

As a male in my 40s, I love being on podcasts more than anything. I got to talk about Billy Joel and get schooled on the Weakerthans in this episode.
Our new PODCAST is up! Featuring Tim Byron from the Mae Shi/HLLLYH

RIP to one of the most magical sites on the internet. Truly the end of an era.

Task is a good show but the music placement is constantly taking me out of it. Maeve has a Be Your Own Pet poster; the biker bar is playing Richard and Linda Thompson. Come on. Be serious.

Made some new friends last night. If you can see Combat from Baltimore play, see Combat from Baltimore play. It’s a miracle this band exists, it’s like discovering a new molecule.

Buncha bands including HLLLYH playing this Saturday at Jade Cathay in San Jose. It’s a dim sum restaurant! It’s all ages! This is what rock shows should be.

We go on second.

The word “shibboleth” is a shibboleth for people who know what shibboleths are.

He’s going to bring back cigarette commercials before the end of his term, isn’t he?

Discovering The Mae Shi in 2004 and Bomb the Music Industry in 2006 were two equally seismic moments for me in my growth as a consumer and creator of music. The boring person I was before I heard Terrorbird and Goodbye Cool World didn't survive the exposure.

Therefore I find this heartwarming.
Let’s do this. Who else is going?

CHOTINER: I don't know, I just feel like I've been tacitly operating in a moral framework that would fall apart with even the barest scrutiny. But maybe that collapse would bring new clarity

DOCTOR: Listen, there is an interviewer I want you to talk to. The best in the business.

We got paid nicely for this! And the director is a mensch.
Just heard Lamb And The Lion by The Mae Shi in the intro of a children’s animated movie.

We’re all so, so old.

20 hours in and my main complaint with Silksong is that it should have cost more

For some reason Mae Shi/HLLLYH’s fan base is heavily trans even though the bands are 100% cis dudes. Whatever the reason, it makes us feel very cool and loved. Thank you for being there!
