I had never seen this 1969 clip of Desmond Dekker performing "Israelites" before today, so I'm sharing it with you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJAv...

Revisiting one of my favorite albums of the 80s, Family Fodder’s MONKEY BANANA KITCHEN. FF tend to get lumped in as post-punk also-rans but I think they are really carrying a torch lit by The United States of America and Faust (w/ a dash of King Tubby). Psychedelic, experimental, funny.

lol I am not a basketball fan but was watching the game while at a bar. I left with 2.5 minutes to go, OKC up by 7. Oops!

New singles this week from Kathleen Edwards, Cate le Bon, Big Thief and Hand Habits are all very promising

My fave albums of 2025 so far are Rose City Band's SOL Y SOMBRA and Justin Walter's BIRD HIGHER THAN CLOUD. Also very into Thanya Iyer's TIDE/TIED and the Natural Info Society/Bitchin Bajas collab album. Stereolab's return is welcome. That's it. Aside from those the year has been a bust for me.

Here are my favorite shows of May (plus a little April): RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Bob’s Burgers Solid: Dept Q, Big Mouth, 100 Ft Wave, Welcome to Wrexham, 9 Perfect Strangers, 4 Seasons, Duster Decent: Yr Friends & Neighbors Flawed: Murderbot, Sirens, Poker Face Trash: & Just Like That

Just turned on the Dodgers/Yankees game thinking it was just starting, only to see them finishing out the 9th in a crushing 18-2 blowout victory. What the hell!

Been feeling lukewarm on YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS all season. The season finale has convinced me I was being generous.

For a show that seemed to take for-fucking-ever to conclude and dwelled too many times on Elizabeth Moss's devilish visage looking directly at camera... the series finale of THE HANDMAID'S TALE was a fitting end.

Malena Szlam: Archipelago of Earthen Bones On view at Fulcrum Arts HQ until June 16, 2025! A three-channel video and sound installation that traces cartographies of time through the Earth’s geologic formations. With sound by @room40.bsky.social

Sadly the tension is undercut every time they cut to this godforsaken mattress commercial.

Turing on the Dodger game in the bottom of the 9th turned out to be a good idea. This game is tense!

The new Stereolab album is wonderful.

The season finale of THE STUDIO is hysterical. Zoe Kravitz steals every scene.

Honestly do not understand the appeal of POKER FACE, a show that is designed to eliminate all suspense and mystery.

Pope Avocado Taco VII hits almost as hard as Pizzaballa

Not sure which three I’ll ultimately vote for but it’s between The Creatures, Xymox, Tad, and Morbid Angel.

Continuing my alphabetic run through of all the @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social nominees and must say: Dog Faced Hermans is an utter delight. My discovery of the tournament so far. Reminds me of the great postpunk acts of the early 80s like the Slits but… better?

A truly epic show. Season 1 was shaky and confusing in its world building but it found its momentum in season 2. Looking forward to this.

It’s true, THUNDERBOLTS does feel like a return to form for MCU films. There are still many others better than this, but it’s the first time in years that an MCU film felt enjoyable pretty much the whole way through. *except for Sebastian Stan’s hair.

I’ve been listening alphabetically and am about 15 albums in. —Cardiacs is a delight —nice to be reminded of Kate Bush, 3rd Bass, B-52’s, which I haven’t listened to in a while —I was ready to hate-listen to PUMP but if I’m being honest, it won me over —a lot of perfectly fine mediocre albums

My favorite shows of April (and late March), roughly in order: Andor The Studio The Last of Us Hacks Dr Who Solid, enjoyable: MobLand, Handmaid’s Tale, Dying for Sex Decent: Government Cheese, Love on the Spectrum, North of North, Side Quest

This week’s Righteous Gemstones was a Baby Billy all-timer

I would like to thank every single person who has ever played the LAST OF US video game for not spoiling the twist.
