Or if the electronic hardcore had been more popular instead of basically disappearing once it mutated into hardcore breaks -> jungle/drum n bass.

Doesn't come up *too* often (thank god for context clues) but it's kind of wild and annoying that there are two totally distinct, unconnected and wildly different genres of music that are "officially"/widely known as hardcore.

Probably be more of an issue if so many punk dudes didn't hate synths.

50 people listening to your song will never be as good as a single person listening to your song 50 times. Music and love work in the same ways.

Respectable white people are now keenly aware that the logical conclusion of a decades' worth of anti-immigrant hatred includes murdering white people and they don't like it. They are shocked to discover that authoritarianism did not stop at the color line.

"get a recorder and a guitar too and just let your inner feelings out through the power of untrained jazz."

Fucking A

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Modular synths, too!

Ur Ghost Got Any Plans?, by Marc Laidlaw 3 track album

Marc Laidlaw is updating the cover-art realtime — every sale is another line on the grid. I’m #4. Great way to market some synth jams.

Terrence K Williams says "Dear Ilhan Omar, I spoke with poison control. Their isntructions were very clear and you didn't follow any of them. They said if you are sprayed with an unknown substance: Get to fresh air immediately. Do not touch your face. Remove contaminated clothing" Ilhan responds: I didn't do any of those things because I fear losing my dignity more than I fear losing my life. Something you coward losers will never understand. So fuck off.

Pretty metal

eldest told me they’d listened to in a silent way and black saint so I of course chewed their ear off about miles and mingus so badly that they eventually went and took the bins out of their own accord. so win win I guess

Good afternoon to all of my weird little creatures

Gross

You can opt for the slightly less friendly "rot in piss" as well. Definitely apropos.

Please stop posting that stupid fucking AI Aronofsky 1776 shit. I know you wanna dunk on it/him, and you should! But we've all seen it now, you don't have to repost it for the 5000th time and keep giving this shit free publicity.

And, presumably, it didn't look like a revolution in the Uncanny Valley!

Yeah, that's what used to get me! When I was working IN an actual newsroom, the stress was high and most of my coolest coworkers smoked, so I'd constantly find myself out there bumming smokes off 'em...

You can still get into kayaking. Maybe too late for skating, tho.

Why is my brain infected by movies, why did THAT have to be the thing I fixated on from like 5 years old and never let up on? I could've gotten into skateboarding or kayaking or something instead of making my life's obsession one of the dumbest fucking things on earth

Look at the sky. Appreciate colors and sounds. The world is so fast, but slowing down and appreciating what's around you is much better.
Eat slowly, *taste* your food, see art (don't just look). Be quiet, be still. Memorize what the moment feels like when things are cozy and you're happy.

30+ responses and no mention of my favorite banjo-featuring song! Sweet!

This is one of the great songs of all time, banjo or no. The fact that the main instrument is a banjo is just the cherry on top.
