Happy Olivia Tremor Control Friday!

Just heard Choosing Texas for the first time today and thought it sounded like the War on Drugs

New level of hell unlocked

The best review of my life from one my favorite music writers 🥲

David Fair has died. With his brother Jad, he founded in the experimental indie rock band Half Japanese. A band who once said they wrote either love songs or monster songs. Half Japanese performing live in 1987. #RIPDavidFair #IndieRock m.youtube.com/watch?v=3EKa...

“I’m absolutely being imprisoned for a political agenda,” activist Autumn Hill tells Democracy Now! in a phone call from Texas’s Johnson County Correctional Facility, where the 30-year-old trans woman is serving a 50-year prison sentence for protesting outside the Prairieland ICE jail last July.

In honor of bandcamp Friday, “keep on rocking for free in the world” is now on @subvert.fm

If I have any Chicago friends here, consider this your invitation to celebrate 10 years of Buttchug 69 at The Hideout on August 10

Is the White House ufc cage match going to be on CSPAN?

Today is 4/20.

Our entire government is so embarrassing. We live in a loser country

#Chicago. #Iran #War #Protest

Do I have any Chicago followers? I'm playing Empty Bottle 5/13

Southland Tales

Also one of my favorite Letterman moments

Alex Jones has joined Minnect, Partrick Bet David’s LinkedIn-coded version of Cameo.

The Murder Mystery by The Velvet Underground — possibly three songs in one

SCOOP: 404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, a tool Palantir made for ICE which brings up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address. The full user guide here:

Marcos Flores, bassist for Denver-based shoegaze band Summer of Peril, has been in ICE custody for over a month. Marcos must be released IMMEDIATELY and ICE must be abolished. Via Denver Westword

Have been feeling sick as a dog, but by the grace of god, the spirit of Amon Düül II, and the power of 30 ml of DayQuil, I was able to run 3 miles in 17 degree weather

Pouring one out for The Other One, my real fake grandpa right

RIP Bob Weir 💙

Police had few immediate details to share about the incident, which occurred the day after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/01/08/f...

i think that people who use headphones in public places like trains are selfish. keeping all your cool music and podcasts to yourself is genuinely sociopathic and deranged behavior. play it on your phone's speaker and let everyone enjoy it, or don't play it at all

Keep calm and chug on

Very odd SCOOP: Just weeks before the 2024 primary election between Cori Bush and Wesley Bell, Bell used over $35,000 in campaign funds to buy his friend's Dodge Durango, which the friend had failed to sell two years earlier. He then hired the friend, who now drives the car.

I love Ezra Klein because ambiently he sounds smart, but if you actively listen, you can physically feel yourself getting dumber.

I thought this was a domino’s

I’m very glad the protests are big, I’m heartened by them, but the Democratic Party doesn’t deserve all these people putting their bodies in the streets, and they can’t be allowed to highjack that energy, and neutralize it like they did last time

Eucharist will now come with your choice of hot or sweet peppers

Laced with Romance is one my all-time favorite albums. When I was a teen, I used to take the train to Chicago to see any all ages show The Ponys played. Life changing band for me.

Should selling out be embarrassing? Like especially for a company that makes record profits ripping off artists?

RIP DAVID THOMAS. a large and ornery man who created lots of great music, and knew how to fall over as well as anyone i've ever seen. when robbie carey asked him if his choice of musette was "jarry-esque." he replied, "beefheart=esque is more like it." abd he meant it www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQP7...

Bill and Ted’s Existential Adventure

A remake of quadrophenia but it’s egg punks vs chain punks and it’s set in Indiana

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship. Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

Sincerely bummed about Michael Hurley’s passing. He was sincerely one of my role models for how to live life. Create art forever and be true to yourself

Egg prices are out of control fr
