Y'all, I got to sit down with SawdEye and Punk as they probed me about how I became a furry - their latest entry in _I'm definitely not a popufur_, a podcast that can be found wherever podcasts can be found.

Or also, at YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HDD...

What an absolute blast (as always) to write a few blurbs in @popmatters.com always-definitive album of the year rankings. This time I got four entries. Can you spot them all? (Hint: one is in the Top 5...)

Rod Stewart. Weird haircut raspy little elf man. But he's horny as all get out and it kind of works. Like if you walked in on him jacking off while flicking his tongue you wouldn't be surprised you'd just be like yeah thats about right. Not sure what this post was going to be about originally

Blondie has reissued their 1999 album, No Exit, including a first-time vinyl issue. It will come as a surprise to no one who knows me that I reviewed the reissued No Exit for @popmatters.com . @blondieband.bsky.social
Fueled by the international hit "Maria", 1999’s 'No Exit' brought Blondie back to life. The album has an admirable sense of adventure.

@blondieband.bsky.social's deluxe edition of 'No Exit' is out now.

Rosalía's 'Lux' may seem, at first, hard to read as pop, but it’s as pop as religion, one of its inspirations. The very act of calling it pop is an act of faith in the power of music.

'Lux' is a #PMPick [9/10]

It's out! It's finally out. After literal months of waiting, Paws Button's first two EPs are live! A musical love letter to the fandom that has already given so much to me, two varietals (one upbeat, one more chill) are now available for your consumption. Thank you 4 listening!

Travis Laplante teamed up with JACK Quartet for a recording of two of his string quartets, which use the method of just intonation. This stunning new album is now out and I reviewed it for PopMatters.
Working with the acclaimed JACK Quartet, the multitalented Travis Laplante unleashes compositions of intensity and beauty on 'String Quartets'.
