This just arrived in the mail. I know what I'll be listening to later today. Nice job packaging this material up @numerogroup.bsky.social

Surprised (but glad!) to see some of the Warner Bros. years represented on disc two.

Hopefully today’s election results across the U.S. are a bell weather for the midterms next year: Americans have had enough of this regime’s garbage “policies.”

For now, enjoying the taste of victory. 🎉🍾

Trump and Texas started it. Now it’s our time to finish it.

Californians: Vote 'yes' on Prop 50 today and mail in your ballot before November 4th - no stamp needed!

Picked this up at my local record store. Hilarious that the promoters chose a 20+ year old photo of Morrissey. He’s obviously changed over the years but his sarcastic humor comes through here and that’s probably why this pic was used.

I saw them back in 1995 at the theater in Madison Square Garden (it was called "The Paramount" back then) and to be frank I was bored because they aren't dynamic performers - they basically just stand around.

I left thinking, "I could have had as much fun at home blasting the album."

Prediction: Shitbag-in-Chief occupying the Exec Branch will exploit the Minneapolis shooting thus: "See, these Democrat-run cities are horrible!" -- without recognizing that mass shootings have occurred in MANY states in 2025 thus far.

Oh the money is pouring in from right wingers against the CA district maps redrawing.

A reminder: the redrawing of district maps in California still has to be approved by voters.
And if it happens, the independent commission will be back in 2030.

Compare that to what’s happening in Texas.

This is some full-on DPRK/North Korea level shit folks. El Trumpo and his sycophants want to re-write history so future generations won't know what happened.

We have to endure this regime's bullshit until the record in that museum—and elsewhere—can be made truthful again.

The Coldplay "Kiss Cam" incident reminded me of this Baudot code generator that I played with when "X+Y" came out: ditonus.com/coldcode/

Here's my first name in Baudot.

For the Hüsker Dü fans: @numerogroup.bsky.social Numero Group has released a live 24 track tape recoding at Minneapolis’s First Avenue club from 1985. Amazing performance and hope they release more of this!

Streaming on several services: lnk.to/Jan30FirstAv...

"If everybody always lies to you,” Arendt once said, “the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer.”

#fascism is a core trait of #authoritarianism -- and we've reached this stage of the collapse or our once great nation.

The Clash single of "Know Your Rights" used this phrase:

"The Future is Unwritten"

@obeygiant.bsky.social put it to work in one of his great art pieces.

New issue of Big Takeover @bigtakeover.com magazine out now with @bobmouldmusic.bsky.social on the cover.

Always a good read with in-depth artist/band interviews and insightful editorials. Gobs of concert+album+EP reviews. Comes out 2X a year but so worth the wait.

I never gave up CDs and vinyl and likewise have several digital audio players like this Zune HD: I like having music that’s available to me anytime without a subscription or an internet connection.

I got this Zune HD since it supports HD Radio also.

Watched the @gogosofficial.bsky.social documentary and really enjoyed it. I incorrectly assumed they were assembled by some manager. Not so: they came out the L.A. '70s punk scene. Drummer Gina Schock's @ginaschock.bsky.social book "Made in Hollywood" is also great.

Then take off your fucking masks and ALWAYS show your identification as legit law enforcement.

Also provide a judicial warrant.

And don't forget about following due process motherfuckers.

You want respect? You operate respectfully -- that's how you gain the confidence of your fellow Americans.

Second overall point: become privacy minded -- because it is a mindset.

Reject cookies on websites.

Opt-out of facial scans at the TSA checkpoint (yes, you have the right to do that without repercussions: it says so on the TSA website).

Just two examples...
