I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Want to see Smokey Robinson perform in 2025? It'll cost you $295.50... in Seattle, anyway.

Ignore for the moment Bondi's seeming confirmation that FBI does have the pics from Epstein's safe and that's (one thing) they're covering up.

But take a step back and consider how inappropriate it is for the AG to wail bc someone said mean (true) things about the President.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

-Artist name missing, check.
-Band members tiny and in silhouette, check.
-Label name dwarfs album title, check.
-Despite it all, this LP cover art is goated.

Last night in Seattle before Autechre's second set, Rob Brown took a photo of the crowd. Pretty unexpected move from a group who don't ever acknowledge their audiences in clubs.

I am asking you once again to expunge the useless “It is what it is” from your repertoire.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

its truly remarkable, you have to really take the measure of it and it's almost hard to comprehend it, but the president of the united states is having texas invade illinois and oregon just to make twitter content

Like many other 60somethings, I found Pitchfork's 100 Best Rap Albums list lacking some key titles. Yes, I have old-head gripes. Below, some crucial records that I think belong on it. There are more, but I have deadlines.

Revisited the Boo Radleys' 1990 track “Aldous” and am more convinced than ever that it belongs in the shoegaze canon.
