Hey #metalsky, very happy with my final 42 AOTYs… rough order of relative preference with Dessiderium edging past Blood Abscission II for top spot… nothing too shocking for those that know my taste #aoty #lists #metal

I went to an Episcopalian school and this still tracks and goes hard
“I have asked the clergy of the diocese to make sure their affairs are in order and they have written their wills.,not the time for statements. It is time to put our bodies between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable”. Rob Hirschfeld, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire

Duran Duran severely underrated

This has always been my favorite NIN track (and the remix on fixed), and listening to it last night realized how black metal it is…. High pitched vox, tremolo, staccato riffs… can’t believe this came out in 92

I had a cool dream where I was simply listening to “less talk more rock” by Propaghandi and remarking to myself how good it is

Well this is just lovely. Love a good locked groove with atmospherics sprinkled throughout

This is why you don’t see me in my GBH shirt anymore
If you see someone wearing a band t-shirt, ask them a question about the band. If they can’t answer correctly, you get to keep the t-shirt until someone asks you a question about the band that you can’t answer. The person with the most band t-shirts when the earth is destroyed is the winner.

Happy New Year everyone, especially #metalsky… I endured a professional challenge that made me more resilient into 2026… now go listen to some black metal

This is the perfect pop punk album… best Screeching Weasel line up, Mass Giorgini production, on an ascendant Lookout Records… they took “hey suburbia” and made it into an album

It really does enhance the viewing experience to know that George Clooney exited JACK FROST after Henson had already locked the snowman face

Other than jailing all these treasonous motherfuckers, I think a winning political message is “we will rip down all this tacky gold bullshit on Jan 20”
The New York Times created a 3-D look inside President Trump’s revamped Oval Office, using hundreds of photos taken in October. See how he's veered toward the gilded style of Louis XIV — and installed a red button on his desk that lets him instantly order a Diet Coke. nyti.ms/4qsFhEF

And here’s my EOTY list for 2025… Stellar Forest still at the top… hope more people check it out if they like Olhava meets Passage d’Hiver with amen breaks (ok not for everyone but I love it)

Can’t some hacker simply un-redact the files?

Yeah I know is bad and impeachable that Trump is extorting state lawmakers, but what really resonates are the stories about how he smells weird and shits his pants
