Yeah his last book was too cranky to enjoy, but he had an essay in The Psychic Soviet about DJing and cultural reproduction that definitely raised up a lot of the points made in that vid, that's all

Adam Curtis and Mark Fisher are the obvious predecessors to this school of thought but I wonder if Ian Svenonius feels he got left out in the cold www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVOk...

This is why everyone is a DJ now

I've been real quiet on bluesky; I just don't know what to make of this platform & this moment. I'm running short on the kind of ironic brevity that fuels so-called "microblogging." But I've got a lot going on. I've got a new band & we're playing shows next weekend to celebrate my album release.

"Many of you who covered me ... were salivating at the thought that Eric would go to jail for 33 years. So don't start asking me about what I think about [Letitia James]: I want to know, what did y'all think about when my life was destroyed in this city. And I wish I had a mic so I can drop it."

To mark the 25th anniversary of the debut album by Coldplay, Chris Martin has acknowledged and confirmed the rumors that the song Yellow is in fact about piss

I've been on tour with @modernnature.bsky.social for the past week and I have to say it's been excellent. Come see us in London or any one of these other towns why don't you?

I think an important part of being a DIY artist is having extremely rigid redlines that you will absolutely not cross for totally arbitrary and shallowly aesthetic reasons

Jeff Tobias slows the pace but not the pressure for “Political Solution.” The single glimmers atop synths and the steady slink of bass, but underneath the gloss the song explores the failure of our systems, the decay of promises that were never deeper than the dermis to begin with.

I realize bribery is legal under US campaign finance laws but in a just society we'd bar war profiteers from holding public office jacobin.com/2020/01/adam...

Adam Schiff Is a Dangerous Warmonger

Adam Schiff, the liberal hero of impeachment, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the military-industrial complex and a fervent exponent of permanent war.

I also want Adam Schiff to be prosecuted but from the left

The president apparently just accidentally posted his order to the attorney general to prosecute a senator, a state attorney general, and a former head of the FBI, or else.

If you still have a clock radio for an alarm, the best kind of station to set the dial to is classic rock, no contest. Steve Miller's THE JOKER wakes me up, I am FLYING out of bed to turn that shit off
