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

This is true for Mae Shi, I think in 2008 or 2009. Eighteen or nineteen shows.

It’s true
You know what's a really good album that everyone's forgotten about? HLLLYH by The Mae Shi. We're not hurting for music about the book of Revelations, but this album is one of my favorites. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUKA...

I want him in chains. Naked, unwashed. No makeup. No hair products. Surrounded by bright lights. Disoriented and scared. I want everyone to see it. I want the photos to be public domain so Wikipedia can use them for his entry. I want them in the history books.

On my blog I'm starting a series where I translate sections of Calvino's masterpiece Invisible Cities, a random city at a time.

Here's Zemrude.

Translation: from Invisible Cities, by Italo Calvino
Cities and Eyes. 2. It is the mood of the beholder that gives the city of Zemrude its form. If you pass by whistling, your nose gliding along in the air, you’ll come to know it from beneath: the wind...

My most played song of 2023 was a Milwaukee band called Sat Night Duets, the song is called “Attached to the Lamp.” Found it randomly searching on Apple Music to see if a song title was available. Ever heard of them?

Thankless or not, we are stupidly committed to ensuring every HLLLYH b side is a transformative cover.
Sometimes I want to record cover songs, because I listen to the original and hear all these amazing things I wish they had done. But recording a wildly transformative cover is a thankless thing.

Following up on the previous post... I've learned that The Mae-Shi recently reformed and then evolved into @hlllyh.bsky.social and are continuing to make utterly delightful noise pop:
