40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

You know, if you did a switch to a copyrightless version of LDB, it’d be fine.

Had a dream where I went to a town called Cuntside (pronounced Cuncid). Thanks brain.

My pal @15deloreans.bsky.social is listening to one song (and what a song) for 24 hours straight to raise money for local charity that supports and shelters unhoused transition-age youth.

Go help out!

Reach and find it out
Perhaps it’s real
Or maybe not
I revealed the plot
I ask you now
To close the box

from “The Box (Including ‘The Curse’)” by Ricked Wicky, Swimmer to a Liquid Armchair (2015)

great day for the legal theory of "not guilty if it's funny enough"

Thanks, New Yorker, for the compliment this morning. 🙏

Thanks!

Great interview!

When W told Cheney he was not pardoning Scooter Libby, but just commuting his sentence, Cheney told W “you don’t leave a soldier on the battlefield.” The people in Cheney’s army were the ones who’d lie to commit the worst US foreign policy decision ever.

A shameful man and legacy.

Telling someone how big they are reveals how small you feel. Or something like that.

It’s wild.

There are signs that Morgan is becoming a cause célèbre for neo-Nazis in the United States. The white supremacist Paul Miller, who gained notoriety for making hate-filled videos while wearing Nazi garb, said on social media that he was working to secure Morgan’s release and directed followers to a crowdfunding campaign that he said was from Morgan directly. “I am in contact with @GasChambers_,” Miller tweeted on Sunday, referring to an X account that says it has raised money for Morgan. “We are going to pay the bail for Kenneth in the next few days he will be free. Gaschamber was very kind and gracious. We just spoke on the phone. We are going to get kenneth out very soon.”

From an article about the man in the SS uniform arrested for attacking the woman in Georgia. Just wild that we've accepted that there's a huge social media platform where an account called "@GasChambers" is allowed to openly do Nazi fundraising and that's fine, in fact all the reporters post there.

Here is an outtake from Do The Collapse, stuck on a b-side and then forgotten because he had 1200 more songs to release since.

Did you know old terrible radio guy Tom Leykis is on Bluesky? He doesn’t like when you tell him he’s gross.

Oh gross. You’re here?

It’s college football day which, for me, means watching half a game and working a slow day at the shop for the rest. This song ends with Bob singing touchdown a lot. It rocks.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Teenage Guitar is basically Bob and a 4 track. It’s so lo fi, it strikes oil.

Echoing sharks
Lost in the darks
Of hinterlands
winterlands
splintered hands

The Takeovers were the prequel to the Boston Spaceships. This song has Mudhoney’s Dan Peters drumming all over an old Suitcase song. I love it.
