Foreshadowing

beach-buddies-records.bandcamp.com/album/smogma... I was unaware of the Romanian psychedelic scene that developed since I last hung out there (I've visited about 12 times in the 2010s), and I am loving it.

CAUGHT ON TAPE: Republican Ron Schutz thinks it's "so offensive" to prosecute the ICE officer that killed Renee Good.

Yep.

beachsloth.substack.com/p/music-appr... Music can be given to everyone. We have plenty of formats to choose from.

beaboutitpress.substack.com/p/notaxeljam... To call this lo-fi would be an understatement. Everything here is no-fi, no fidelity whatsoever.

Bombshell from the WSJ — Elon Musk ordered Starlink to be throttled, causing devastating hits on Ukraine. He’s also the single biggest funder of Republican candidates this midterm cycle. Vote for them, and you’re voting for him—and EVERYTHING he’s done to harm American interests.

beachsloth.substack.com/p/with-ones-... Never in even the most Doom-oriented scenarios of the ‘90s and ‘00s futurist internet visions could we have imagined the future selling our own information back to us, making us create an endless stream of content for free that leaves us endlessly upset.

Happy Caturday!

Elon Musk's attempt to pin a deadly battlefield decision on President Donald Trump just got backing from an explosive new report.

substack.com/home/post/p-... The kind of books Ouroboros Press deals in veers heavily into the esoteric, even by my admittedly lax standards. Remember, I say this as someone who has cosplayed as a sloth and been invited to weddings as a sloth by total strangers.

beaboutitpress.substack.com/p/shayda-in-... Plush “IN PRIVATE” lets Shayda express pure sensuality in a purely physical R&B style.

cloudconvert.com/flac-to-mp3 Reliable FLAC to MP3 converter for anybody with limited Hard Drive space

I feel seen.

beachsloth.substack.com/p/then-by-em... Know all those socks that you wash and never see again? They skip our timeline to arrive at another one. Amid all these parallel timelines, there is one timeline where the orphaned socks live in harmony

No matter what, you can always rely on Trump to badmouth Ukraine despite the fact they were (and continue to be) attacked. Russia has been, and always will be, the aggressor

calamaripress.com/Lisa_2.htm Great Book. Review Forthcoming!

beachsloth.substack.com/p/shy-watson... Everything can be left hidden in plain sight because who will ever see it if they keep looking in the wrong places?

evel.bandcamp.com/album/os-za-... An utter mindfuck of an album. Review coming soon!

Thank you for hitting the Yandex centers Ukraine! Feel free to hit as many as you want

For real 👇

Russia is also supporting Iran against us. This guy is the biggest asshat on the planet.

beachsloth.substack.com/p/10092026 Underneath the sheets of metallic glimmering are broken-down drum machines that politely beg to be brought out back and shot, to be put out of their misery.

beachsloth.substack.com/p/waves-by-l... To his credit, Neer keeps the emotional resonance of the radish hum a mystery: are the radishes happy or are they sad? We are left in the dark about that.

beachsloth.substack.com/p/the-bar-ge... Literacy rates are plummeting, and the rest of the world seems indifferent. Very little has been done to fix this, so why not try shorter-form content?

beachsloth.substack.com/p/10042026 @kolegrey.bsky.social A true cradle rocker, these are gentle transmissions from parallel universes, as the Lady in the Radiator once sang “In Heaven Everything Is Fine.” Who could disagree with sounds like these?

riotseasonrecords.bandcamp.com/album/0-aa-r... A very chill, physical experience. A new era for Shit & Shine?
