1pm this Saturday, Tesla showroom at 860 Washington Street #ratfuck — www.teslatakedown.com

Over four million people ride the subway here every day and every day fewer than ten crimes are reported.

imagine seeing this headline 10 years ago

bonkers lineup this year - Kim Gordon solo plus Body / Head, Fred Frith, Carl Stone, Niecy Blues, Wendy Eisenberg, the all stars doing Rainbow in Curved Air... bangonacan.org/long-play-20...

I know Springsteen wrote Hungry Heart for the Ramones but did he imagine them playing it at twice the speed or how was that gonna work

A top New York City police official says, “Way too many people are urinating on Trump Tower at any given moment to arrest them all.” 🤣

how close are we to a high profile American politico just saying "yes I'm a literal fascist, yes I know what it means and yes it's okay to call me that", it feels just around the corner

My elderly Sicilian landlord asked why my check wasn't in an envelope. I said I hadn't owned envelopes in a decade and he said furiously "What, you don't write letters to your friends?!" Honestly almost made me cry.

casually playing these great fluid lines with no guitar strap and while chewing gum youtu.be/p0QKjcNaNbI?...

I've got a side project with a new EP out today. Desc: "what sounds like a slowed down gunfighter ballad taking place in outer space; melodicas, gentle piano keys, industrial squeaks; recordings of helicopters over what used to be the peaceful Governors Island." agonists.bandcamp.com/album/flares

i hate this and also how many beatles are we talkin about, how many are there even

when you guys saw A Complete Unknown were there packs of boomers in the hallway afterward high fiving & hooting like the Mets just won the series like when I went

down a David First rabbit hole today, thank you @jefftobias.bsky.social & @foxydigitalis.bsky.social - davidfirst.bandcamp.com/album/matter...

When I saw this in Manhattan, Malkmus looked stony and miserable throughout the Q&A... suppose this explains it 😶 vishkhanna.com/2024/11/19/e...

Kind of a longshot but I'm in Madrid for a few days and looking to see interesting music. Anyone out there have venues or spaces they'd recommend?

Releasing some new music over on Bandcamp today, a mix of guitar and tape and other bits... Very much a wintertime kind of album. Check it out if that sounds like your thing — cercamusic.bandcamp.com/album/pole-s...

Can't think of many others with Albini's experience who have terabytes of hours-long interviews and Q&As offering insane amounts of advice and technical knowledge, all cheerfully, all for free and perfectly articulated, just because they love thinking about it and sharing it. True generosity.

woman at the coffee shop telling her friend just now "Lots happening, my book is launching soon, Uranus is in retrograde, and our puppy is gonna be in the Puppy Bowl" (?!)

In retrospect probably the highlight of last year. The ballbusting between him and David Thomas was something else. RIP.

Bang on a Can Long Play is looking great this year - Julia Wolfe, Matmos, Rob Mazurek, Sam Prekop + John McEntire bangonacan.org/long-play-20...

Jonathan Glazer adapting Martin Amis is as good as it gets for my money. Never seen anything quite like The Zone of Interest and the sound design and soundtrack are stunning and nauseating in the most appropriate ways.

you can tell how awesome all the AI and ad tech is nowadays judging by the ads for guitar picks I already bought two weeks ago haunting me across dozens of websites for weeks afterward
