I was lucky I got to see it in a theater and we all cheered when Eddie Palmieri and the Salsa Orchestra appeared on screen though

So many of the needle drops were great, but what was going on with the score in Highest 2 Lowest. Let Denzel Washington cook, the audience doesn't need a swelling sad orchestra to tell us the moment is dramatic.

Instead of doing regular "Psycho Killer" at karaoke, I should've done this masterpiece, which has just been introduced to me this afternoon www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnBl...

I have never heard Trump say that the Nobel Peace prize is his motivation.
I have heard him say he wants the killing to stop.

Does anyone actually sing "Wonderwall" at karaoke anymore or has the idea become so socially cringe no one really goes for it these days?

Listening to "Dancing in the Dark" a song that has broken through my knee-jerk negative reaction to Springsteen (thanks, dad). And I'm sure this question's been asked before, but, in concrete terms, wtf is a Love Reaction?

Is a company "restructuring" math rock? Is three coffees with no lunch grindcore?

Can we start talking about all behaviors as related to/not related to other music genres? Would love to debate if getting drunk and barfing on the train on the way back home is indie sleaze or butt rock.

I’m here to write 10,000 words on how calling everything punk rock has removed punk rock of any sense of power or meaning

Robin James @robinjames.bsky.social · Aug 6

Dude, punk rock emerged an explicit rejection of the corporate music industry. AI is five megacorporations in a trench coat. It’s about as categorically not punk rock as you can get.
