This is the Bsky page for the band Chris Reed and the Anime Raiders - one of the few bands to walk away from 2 record deals, have a number 1 hit (indie) and win (so far) 13 Radio Music Awards.

Our new single, out November 17th. Comprised of ten different sections of various jam sessions, with a bit of overdubbing, and mixed together. The photo is real - I took it myself near the river in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

I was just sent the proof of concept video for the 2nd single from my upcoming album and holy shit it's amazing. It's like a love letter to the city that inspired the whole thing.

Soon my lovelies, soon.

It might just only be me, and if so that's perfectly fine as I am certainly not a representative of the average cis-male, but I honestly think that "Mar-a-Lago Face" is fucking ugly.

My message to the Democratic Senators that caved:
November 10, 2025 at 3:51 AM
Actually, it now looks like the moderates are caving for promises of future votes and not any actual ammendment of the legislation.

That means we've gone through this shit for NOTHING.

Never negotiate with terrorists, you idiots.

This "deal" is meaningless. It has to go back to the House now, because it's been amended.

The House isn't in session for a whole slew of reasons **cough #Epstien cough**

The House would need to be in session for this deal to actually work. And even if they were in session, they aren't passing it.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if there really are bad guys running an international pedophile ring and it turns out that they are the same people running the MAGA movement? That their whole purpose has been not to expose anything, but to cover it up?

I would like to point out that all of the horrible shit being said about Mayor-Elect Mamdani were also said 4 years ago about then Mayor-Elect Michelle Wu of Boston.

Also last night, Mayor Wu was re-elected unopposed.

They've got this. Give them the car keys.

Yes it's true, we have contributed to The Weapon and The Shield. Fitting that one of the Americans is revealed on Election day, and such a good election day.

The kids have proven they can win, so turn over the car keys.

Of course the #Dodgers won. There can't be a military crackdown if the celebratory riot takes place in Canada.

Good season Blue Jays.

God Fucking Damn It #Spotify.

I'm not yet sure what I'm going to do. I believe in every word of this action, but I have a non-zero number of fans on that site. I have a new album coming soon, and the first single is already at the distributors.

I have to give it a think, but God Fucking Damn it.
Spotify is now running ICE recruitment ads. We asked them to stop. They ignored us. Let's show them what we showed Disney. No Kings, No Collaborators, No Capitulators. indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

10, and it's a diverse list

coconut (insert Yosemite Sam gif here)
asparagus
tomatoes (although if you cook them into a sauce I'm fine with them)
black licorice
pickles
ranch dressing
bananas
beets
raisins
mayonnaise
unfortunately I count as picky because I don't like seafood, so I get a 10

no: liver, crab, shrimp(mostly), canned tuna, fish, snails, oysters, sardines, grapefruit

bleu cheese used to love, but something switched off and I can't hang now

bonus "meh" but ok: peas, lima beans, cottage cheese

I've had a chance to take a closer look at the architectural model for the new White House "Ballroom".

It's a security nightmare. I can't even imagine what the Secret Service thinks about all of this, but from what I can see there is clean line of sight to many of the windows from outside.

At long last I'm getting into the new season of #Anime. Specifically, "Cat's Eye".

This is a remake of a 1990's anime set in the same universe (and coffee shop) as City Hunter. I fansubbed the original series through episode 18 back in the day. There were 72 episodes.

Pretty decent so far.
