It’s funny that Elon Musk turned out to be one of the most anti-science government figures in history! This guy built his whole image on being the personification of IFuckingLoveScience and when it came down to it he decided he preferred money and racism
Lyft driver picked me up from UNC, turned out he was a medicinal chemistry post-doc in a building near mine, until his grant got cut last month.
Worked on novel antivirals.

here's a fun game if you're a music dork: what is the best album released by a music act at least 15 years after its debut album?

And with that, the 31st Fall album, March E Smith has come to a close. April really is the cruellest month.

Two distinct memories of their live show. 1: endless hammer-riff “Fol De Rol”. 2: stark, eerily arranged “Nine Out Of Ten”. Between these bookends, either side of crumbling centrepiece “Couples…” are (as ever) rockabilly sendup character studies; modernist scribble that makes Eliot sound tame.

Only three albums behind schedule 🥰🥰🙃🙃

A diss album to the bandmates who abandoned them mid-tour (look… who can judge) but also a honeymoon album with the lineup they rustled up instead. Lots of extended jams, feeling each other out, and audibly having fun! A tribute to the power of friendship (this lineup would not last a year).

Fully embracing hifi sound, they also flirt with some soft rock sophistipop sounds on side A. Loving the lyrics here, particularly Athlete Cured (even if I don’t care for its music) and U2 diss track In These Times. Compositionally doubling down on some great riffs like my fav “Bremen Nacht”.

Realised a month ago that the little guitar sample in Deceptacon by Le Tigre is actually the bass line sped up 4x.

Grappling with himself and his world - diss tracks for both Nixon and McCartney. The starkness of his debut is replaced by Spector’s typical reverb (ugh). A couple of 50s-style numbers - exorcising demons via the music of his youth? Softness too, in the title track, and the songs for his love.

Know none of his music pre-1983 so no context on how jarring it was to hear him start making music like the “Black Books” theme song. The direction seems natural for him, but I can’t say there’s anything here that isn’t done better on Rain Dogs. Some more traditional(?) arrangements here too.

“Jazz opera” triple album. The overture was cool and had me excited but then the vocals came in and it went downhill for an hour. Marries Mingus ballet with musical theatre and rock opera seemingly just because they could. Not for me. Last third is the best where they let loose and jam out.

Highlights from her 8 hour “United States Live” show. Though it was missing the visual element, the music is already theatrical and cinematic. Samples, synths, and vocoders aplenty. Post-pop that could have (and maybe did) fit in with the New York no wave scene (talky, weird, saxophone riffs).

Wondered before if I’d be impressed by the musicianship or fatigued by the sheer Math of it all. I guess a bit of both - mostly I lament the fact that it’s 80 minutes long and is so flat-sounding. Cool moments though, like the great sludgy end of “Parabola” or how “Ticks” reminds me of U2(?!).

Loved “Introduction” for years but ironically never listened in full till now. In emo, lyrics are as important as music but I let it wash over me, except when unavoidable, like on “Your Deep Rest”. Feels like a suite, like when centrepiece “Among the Windflowers” is followed by “Life In Drag”.
