It’s unfortunate that folk festivals don’t contain any folk music acts anymore.

And rejection.

Also, I never should have reinstalled this thing on my phone.

Pretty well every person who is lucky enough to be eulogized is portrayed as a selfless saint, but if that’s the case, why are we all such intolerable dickheads?

If you ever thought the perfect album cover doesn’t exist - it does!!!

Philistines

Even better, the dang thing is all 40Hz , which everyone knows is the ultimate Hz.

Daniel Pinkwater, ‘Five novels.’

Needed some cheering up, which is when I bust this out. Contains two of humanity’s greatest literary achievements, ‘The Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death’ and ‘Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy from Mars.’

Boycotting chatbots sure is easy. You just...don't use them and your life is fine.

Ambient musicians need to understand there is a happy track titling sweet spot about halfway between the polarized extremes of ‘Ten Buddhas Dancing in a Moon Garden’ and ‘I Never Liked Your Fucking Dog.’

For me Departure Songs is the untouchable one, followed by Oblivion Hymns, but yes, all their albums are great.

That’s not bad, actually.

One of their best releases ever, I think!

I thought I’d try to find redeeming value, but there is none.

The BBC’s ‘War of the Worlds’ miniseries is even more abysmal on the second viewing. Bad everything in this one.

Billups used a mouse he owns in Colorado as collateral for the bond, which was signed in court by his wife and daughter Sydney.

Wee mousie collateral.

Here’s a beautiful haiku I just came up with:

Your plays were all skips
Of my lovely Bandcamp tracks
Download something, jerk!

Let's Have An Apocalypse Now!, by Crippled Black Phoenix from the album White Light Generator

Perfect song for the moment…

Just popping back on here to say that citizens of the Western Roman Empire in 460 CE were probably convinced their empire would never fall. So, there’s hope.

For the Small Lives that Change Us, by The Gateless Gate 3 track album

I have a new music release today. Three tracks. Peaceful as all get out. Name thy price.

"28 Weeks Later" is about a thousand times better a film than "28 Years Later."

One of the most annoying "activists" of all time, for sure. He's all about "Brand Bono" first and cozying up to power, then saving the world from various things a distant second. I can't even listen to U2 any more. Mind you, it's fun to slam him.

What a fucking tool.

Bono lambasts ICE, Putin, Netanyahu and more as U2 release first collection of new songs since 2017 New EP Days of Ash features songs about Renee Good, Iranian protesters and other political topics, and precedes new ‘defiantly joyful’ album later in 2026

Observe our fave whipping boy back spewing utter tripe: "I have many dear conservative friends who are as worried about the far right as my democratic ones are worried about the far left. Surely the world needs a ‘radical centre’ that draws from both traditions.”

Decided to have fun with one of those silly graphic things authors create to promote their books in the "attention economy" — telling everyone which bloody "tropes" your book contains! Blah.

The Guardian has had FOUR separate columns about how their writers dislike the new Wuthering Heights film, each writer giving the exact same reasons. The film does sound awful, but why waste so much oxygen on something bad? I mean, I know. Clicks. Media really stinks in the online age.

I have a huge soft spot for that album, especially Hayward's performance.
