Ashamed to admit I only got into them post-Greep solo stuff, but there really is no one out there like Black Midi - that mix of jazz, prog, post-punk and late-period macabre Tom Waits cabaret hits like nothing else

On the one hand: watching a movie is no substitute for real political action.
On the other hand: Alex Cox’s WALKER can help explain a LOT about why we are where we are today.

I'll admit I wasn't huge on the lead singles, but the album cuts might be my favorite stuff I've heard from Gaga - love all the obvious 90s Bowie influences on her songwriting and production

Also gave us what is, for my money, the best mainstream pop song in years. Seriously, listen to that Nile Rodgers guitar line and tell me this SHOULDN'T have been a number one single

Obviously an upper limit on "nice things you can say about 2025", but I'll give it this - damn good year for punk and post-punk! Just a couple of my favorite albums from this year:

this has horrifyingly inserted the phrase “Avatar is dad rock Megalopolis” into my brain
All the Avatar discourse — “It has no cultural impact”, “this proves viewer taste is on the decline”, etc — constantly misses the only true point: that indeed, no one would give a shit about Avatar if a guy who wasn’t monomaniacally obsessed with putting the impossible to film wasn’t making it
