Katie Ball and David Noonan of Irish shoegazers Just Mustard explain how the band's third album, 'We Were Just Here,' pushes guitars past recognition and why growing up in Ireland's DIY scene infuses their musical ethos with attitude.

Anyone else watching #theVendettaOfAn feel that the production values feel more like arty samurai movies than #cdrama? (If only the pace matched)

watched a movie I thot my mutuals would love, but I'm so meh about it, that I'm juicing myself this morning by *not* replying online: no, you are wrong; it's not good.
I suppose I should go write my own bad art instead of marinating in my superb ability to recognize others' not-that-good art.

Across the 3-county region in Seattle if you tell a bus driver you are going to shelter and you’ve been displaced from flooding they will not charge you fare!

Confession of long time Seattle resident: I can conjure no mental image of 'Downtown Federal Way.' Is it a real place? Suddenly it's a destination with lots of signage.
I did help 4 visitors yesterday who got on Link going the wrong way when they wanted to go to the airport.

I believe that Metro GLine drivers *enjoy* rattling passengers around like rocks in a can. The lack of seating in their giant bus encourages their funloving ways.

I’ve had a recent spate of queries from people (I think) who run book clubs/recommendation schemes. Each enthuses over a book I’ve written…then asks if I want to pay them to expose my book to readers. Each query praises a book that’s the *last* in a series (w/ no reference to series). 1/3

At 7/8 point in my draft, which means I am asking, 'what are you really trying to say in this ending?' while recognizing that I'm a different person from when I started. Passed the existential abyss, just waiting for crystalline clarity.

For anyone who’s interested, I posted an extra little story, set in the World of Lord of the White Hell. It’s on my Patreon this week and available to free members— so there’s no cost. I just wanted to share.

I had that exact same perm in 198?... Was talked out of it because it requires an angel's face below the bangs. I'm no angel.

On light rail, I heard one teen explaining to another the psychological changes of characters in Wizard of Oz. Very meta. Then he focused specifically on the interplay between the scarecrow and the robot.

Looking at bios of creatives for #WhispersOfFate: who gathered this crew and gave them a massive budget? Like, hey, Huang Wei, please freak freely on costumes. And, Zeng Ming Hui, have Luo Yun Xi sit for 3 hours every day for makeup & hair.

A #cdrama discussion (not criticism). I'm trying to grasp #WhispersOfFate (thematically & artistically). In part, I can't decide yet whether it's subtly misogynist or just doesn't have a typical co-equal "female general" for other (pseudo BL) reasons. If you're watching, do you have an opinion?

November blustered its way in with the Pineapple Express, tho in modern times, they say "atmospheric river," like Andy Williams singing about misplaced nostalgia. The web app cautions a flood warning. & recommends an umbrella, but anyone from here knows not to carry a 20mph wind catcher.

An interview I did in 1992 has been re-published by the writer, Amy McGrath. I'm happy to recognize myself, 33 years later, as the same person inside. 🎸 And I still set up and load out my own gear at independent gigs. 😎

Is it irreligious to note that anyone who claims to be using AI to "hasten the return of Christ" has catshit in his so-called soul and no understanding of his foundational scripture?
