How about the irony of a story I wrote for @coyotemedia.org — with my own two hands!! — getting scraped by AI and vomited up on Hoodline, the now zombified neighborhood news site where I had my first journalism job (it was real in 2014). And no, the journalist here, “Eileen Vargas” does not exist 🤖

What's great about everyone using AI to write their work emails for them is how the emails are always excessively wordy and sycophantic. Why write a simple five-word response that gets the point across when Copilot can write 600 words with whole paragraphs about how much they loved your email?

2019: Got it, thanks! 2026: Dearest sir, thank you so much for your thoughtful and informative missive. I have fully received and understood your reasonable, intelligent request. In response, I would like to let you know that I will be taking the important contents of your message to heart, and wil

While I’m glad I was able to avoid spoilers for You Can See Everything, I don’t think it would have affected my enjoyment to know what happens. The process is what’s important - it’s like Steve Reich’s phasing music, the point is experiencing it as it unfolds

Unknown CD picked up from the discount bin, I was expecting some droney guitar something or other, instead it’s a pretty good Godflesh knockoff. 1994, from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho!

Ryusuifudou by Fumio Miyashita is unreleased music from the late 1970s that I discovered at my day job (Technical Director of the Center for Contemporary Music at Mills College). Amazing proto-new age music from the founder of the Far East Family Band. Available on LP and CD with Risograph artwork

This one hit me hard, man. Without Cronos and Venom, my entire existence would be so much different (and so much worse). If there are any music pubs out there that want to commission an impassioned obituary for one of the most important heavy metal musicians of all time, hit my line. Venom forever

Just talked with an elevator repair guy who’s childhood friends with David Fincher. He dropped a monty python joke and then said “I remember me and Dave went to see the Holy Grail at a theater in Berkeley together”

A memory that randomly pops into my head sometimes is in 4th grade, a friend of mine lied about having seen Basic Instinct (which would have just come out then) and talked about all the nudity. He said you could see Michael Douglas' cock, and he had a gross and weird-looking cock

The LP/CD by Fumio Miyashita that I'm releasing on my label, The Incessant Noise, is being carried by Light In The Attic! If you buy it on Bandcamp I make a little more money. But still, if you want you can buy it at LiTA. Also you should tell your local store to pre-order it, that would be sick
