Where I’m sitting, temperatures are 11 degrees above average and only getting hotter. Meanwhile, our elected officials are trying to take us back to the Coal Age. Things are looking bleak.

VERY GOOD ALBUM

Nick J Mascis @bridgemusicbunker.bsky.social · 4d

Was talking about this one Friday night and revisiting now after a few months away.

Beings was/is a project of Zoh Amba, Steve Gunn, Shahzad Ismaily, and Jim White.

Incredible record, I put it on a “best of 2024” list for a blog I write for. Everything Shazam Ismaily touches is incredible. The post metal record with Colin Stetson on sax is in my all time top 5.

My recent track, “The Future Is In Our Hands (And That Should Terrify You),” is a meditation on humanity’s march toward oblivion featuring a somber narration by Carl Sagan. He warns:

“In all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.”

It’s called “Andor” because it’s a show about choices

ALBUM OF THE DAY: The Chinese Stars before they leaned way into the fucked up dance punk sound they became known for. This shit is WAY OUT THERE. Dissonant, groovy, deviant, and extremely catchy (if you have an ear for the bizarre). I don't know how you play these intervals on guitar.
