for real, these records aren't gonna buy themselves. However, if they were gonna buy themselves, they'd be the most intelligent records of all time.

tomorrow, October 3 is the next to last Bandcamp Friday of 2025.

I am not sure that sounded dramatic or desperate enough

My new piece, up now @thenation.com: "If only trans activists had known what size check to cut for Chappelle, they could have shut him up years ago and saved themselves all the picketing at Netflix." www.thenation.com/article/cult...

The Sad Spectacle of American Comedians Selling Out in Saudi Arabia

It turns out that edgy free-speech warriors will scuttle their principles for a check from a brutal autocratic regime.

Water Damage were ace last night at @cafeotodalston.bsky.social. One song, one riff (sort of), and total intensity. Amazing!

It was about ten minutes in before I realised there was a sax player behind that pillar on the right!

For anybody who enjoys a wee taste of drone music, here's WATER DAMAGE playing at the Cafe Oto in Hackney last night. Drone on! Repetition. Repeat. Repetition.

Water Damage. Really lovely bunch of people, but also when a man who is famous for making a video on how best to punch a Nazi is telling you your country is a bit fucked on the old fascism front it should be a warning.

I've seen Water Damage twice this year and they are absolutely one of the most incredible live bands around. Nothing quite like them out there.
