A family Christmas tradition continues. The Mistleturds are back this year with another DIY holiday punk song.

Listen on Bandcamp and YouTube. Money from all Bandcamp sales goes to NMDP, which matches cancer patients with donors for life-saving blood stem cell transplants.

Enjoy!

The record label I co-founded has just released its third full-length album!

“Fictions” is by Portland-based artist Watsona. If you like electronic music, synthy earworms and stellar lyrics, please give it a listen.

You can find “Fictions” on any streaming platform!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but law enforcement is meant to protect citizens inside the US. The military is meant to protect citizens from external enemies. So, when the President mobilizes Marines in California, he saying that his own citizens are the enemy. This is not okay.

This is excellent.
JD Vance is skiing at a Vermont resort this weekend. The resort’s snow reporter took the opportunity to make some good trouble, sending out a message of resistance against an administration “threatening our democracy, our livelihoods, our land”. [kottke.org]
