TWAS A SUCCESS!!! ✨✨✨
The meeting went awesome and it was something I really needed right now, to be talking about music with people like at a concert. I already feel like a great fit with the team at The Alternative and I’m excited to be writing for the site very soon!!! 👀
I have my first ever meeting with The Alternative tomorrow on Zoom! Really stoked to be discussing our plans for the site this year but I’m also kinda nervous as I’m still dealing with some stupid flu aftereffects that have been varying and coming and going
Please wish me luck 🙏

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. 👨🏻‍🍳 💋

When they found Shooby Taylor he was interviewed on WFMU and they played the POPPY-POPPY-POPPY part for him and he seemed very happy about it and i cried.

He emailed.
We spent the day with him and Devo, who were all very nice.
Mark put on a grass skirt and coconuts and accompanied us playing “You’re In My Heart” on uke with Pea on their studio’s optigan.
That doesn’t seem real, but was filmed, so there’s gotta be video somewhere.
@robcrow.bsky.social Hi Rob, big fan of Pinback/Optiganally Yours/PLOSIVS. I want to ask you about your involvement with The Powerpuff Girls Heroes & Villains soundtrack-how did Craig McCracken reach out to you to have Optiganally Yours contribute a song about the mayor?

what if Jax was a bad person because of the choices he makes and continues to make and has always made?

Marty Supreme is as phenomenal as everyone is saying it is-it’s definitely Timothee Chalamet’s best performance and he deserves every right to brag about it. This is a uniquely gripping dramedy that has remarkably sharp performances-I seriously hope Chalamet gets the Oscar

I just found out Jeff Rosenstock has a newsletter on Substack and he posted about his new song there-it might be appearing on the next record and he also said “the next record or two are taking shape”!!! Imagine if we get 2 surprise Jeff albums in 26????

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains

Debating on which of these two hot shows I want to go to here…Texas Is The Reason is a band I’ve been dying to catch for a long time but I’ve been talking to a girl who’s been to the same shows as me and she might be at this indie rock mini-fest. What is one to do

Like, that's not something to be fearful of, the collapse of those fuckers is the consequence for them treating humanity so brazenly without asking our consent for anything. They deserve to lose everything, it is their economy that will collapse not ours Merry Christmas Happy night 3 of Hanukkah

I've been thinking a lot lately is that if/when the AI bubble bursts the economy that will collapse is not representative of reality, it is the circular economy of billionaires investing in each other so their valuations go up even though that cash doesn't actually exist so like, let's go already.
