I appreciate @jefito mentioning the Bangles earlier in his latest Bootleg City post. That spurred me to revisit the phenomenal reunion concert I saw in September 2000, one of the first dozen or shows they played. It was worth the drive and then some. abcnews.go.com/Entertainmen...

Yeah, these federal workers actually understand what they do for us and how devastating these cuts are for us. It'd be great if the media could explain that clearly instead of taking Elon Musk's word that he's magically produced "savings" that come with no downside.

Courtesy of @nedraggett.bsky.social, I just found out that Trevor Rabin's entire second career as a film score guy can basically be traced back to him giving a guitar lesson to Steven Seagal.

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

Wrote for @discourseblog.com about the nuclear-grade hypocrisy of the NYT's editorial about attacks on trans people. To decry a moral panic that you played a huge role in fomenting takes some goddamn nerve, and we shouldn't let the Times get away with it. www.discourseblog.com/p/the-new-yo...

Once a decade or so, I'm reminded that Voice of the Beehive existed, and I always think "Hey, they were a fun band," and then I forget all about them until the next time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=exQx...

Join me for a look back at SPIN's 1992 New Music Preview, featuring a cover artist you may have heard of, as well as at least one act that earned rave reviews from @nedraggett.bsky.social and @larryflick.bsky.social: www.jefitoblog.com/revisiting-s...

Every week at Jefitoblog, I listen to an album I've never heard before by an artist whose work I'm at least mostly unfamiliar with. This week's pick is Leonard Cohen's You Want It Darker, which is an uncomfortably perfect soundtrack for our current moment: www.jefitoblog.com/blindspottin...
