This reads like a blurb on The Onion but it's real.
"I've got a friend of a friend who gave me a call. The call was like, 'Hey, this thing happened. And I said, 'Okay, wonderful news.' I was told on the call that the president at that time was going to make his speech in 20 minutes or whatever. I said, 'Okay, great.' So 20 minutes go by, and at about the 25th minute, I tweet this. Then I get a second call, and the call is, 'Yeah, the president didn't go on yet.' And I went, 'Oh sh***.'"

Listen to the new Kostnatění ahead of its release this Friday and read about why he put nu-metal in his black metal!

The man behind Kostnatění speaks to us about the project’s third album, which is somehow even wilder and less predictable than the last.

continuing the Blue Oyster Cult retrospective over on Invisible Oranges, we have Cultosaurus Erectus, a perfectly named album. does it hold up? read William Pauper's great piece on it here:

"Cultösaurus Erectus" was a course correction for The Cult after "Mirrors." Read our retrospective here.

are swifties okay
patreegs on instagram says You need to listen to it once completely through while driving a car alone. Then you have to listen to it indoors lying down. THEN you pick a few and listen to them WHILE you read the lyrics on your computer. You WILL find that you misheard some of the lyrics. DONT panic. Its COMPLETELY normal and healthy. DONT think about taylors life yet and DONT try to make sense of the lyrics and DONT panic if you dont like some of the songs at first bc your brain will LEARN to like them (evolutionary mechanism). THEN, continue listening on loop as needed but have 2-3 that you sometimes just listen to on repeat. THEN re-emerge into the world and connect with others about their response to the text. THEN apply practically to your life. THEN examine how they fit into taylors. At this point you can start to lightly engage in online discourse if that feels healthy and safe.
