This week on Another Thought, I’m digging into the brilliant new Earl Sweatshirt album, Forge from X-Men, and why it’s not cringe to “live laugh love.” anotherthoughtanotherthought.substack.com/p/earl-sweat...

Sharp Pins' 'Radio DDR' is one of my favorite albums of the year. I was lucky enough to talk with Kai Slater to dig into the record and the idea of youth, not as age but as a constant pursuit of creativity.
Up now on the A Deeper Listen podcast

This isn't the last episode of The Cobain 50 but the last one I scripted/produced. And I can't think of a better way to "go out" than with...Butthole Surfers. One of the wildest underground bands that somehow made it to the mainstream. Listen here: kexp.org/podcasts/cob...

for Another Thought this week, I'm breaking down some of my favorite "spring ambient/atmospheric records" as if they were a plant journal. featuring Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Hiroshi Yoshimura, Green-House, and Harold Budd/Brian Eno.

Cindy Lee’s ‘Diamond Jubilee’ turns one today! It took me a full year to sort out my feelings about, wrote it up recently for Another Thought. Favorite tracks from the album? (Plenty to choose from lol)

Been thinking a lot about Greg Sage and Wipers lately. Some of the best punk music ever made, but also some of the most existential. And what are "these times" today if not existential? I babble about this and the genius of Sage: anotherthoughtanotherthought.substack.com/p/wipers-gre...

this clearly auto-generated ad really took me out. (it's actually a Ciara tribute happening that night)

Latest newsletter – I've been thinking a lot about Brian Eno's quote about artists being farmers (cultivators) and cowboys (explorers). Today, I wanted to celebrate the farmers focusing on 3: Pusha T, Jesse Eisenberg, and Wendell Berry. anotherthoughtanotherthought.substack.com/p/like-a-far...

I’ve been grappling with the idea of “content”—the endless scroll, the constant need to consume. It takes up so much time and often leaves me feeling empty. I’ve realized that sharing stories and ideas is what moves me most, and I hope this space helps you find something that moves you too.

Introducing Another Thought, my new weekly newsletter. The world is chaos, we (see also: I) can't stop consuming. But still, so much great art is being made. This is my attempt to slow down and process the music, books, and art that move me anotherthoughtanotherthought.substack.com/p/welcome-to...

final haul from Destiny City Comics in Tacoma before they close at the end of this month. such a huge loss but grateful for its existence this last decade. Overheard so many people sharing their warm memories of the place with staff.

Honoring the spirit of the split album, @douglasmartini.bsky.social and I each took on one half of the classic The Faith/Void split for our latest episode of The Cobain 50. We're rounding out the series and this is our last detour into the DC hardcore scene! www.kexp.org/podcasts/cob...
