Överhead, by Phantom Levers from the album Eleventy Seven

Trk 324 of 365: on 11/21/98, I did a live solo experimental/improv music show. This 2018 studio piece is based on little chunks of that show I found on old cassettes. A very strange trip. Free streaming and download.

THE INVENTOR OF BAD NEWS: what if you could be sitting down

“Quiet, Piggy” would be fitting for his tombstone.

I'd play him this song I wrote for him.

The sight of Mohammed bin Salman sitting in the Oval Office should make all Americans want to vomit. It sure does for me.

If ICE agents can’t operate without masks and no IDs, maybe the problem isn’t California, it’s whatever you’re trying to hide.

📌 The Trump administration is suing California over its new laws banning ICE from hiding behind masks and forcing them to show IDs while they run operations in the state.

Think it's time we reconsidered the Arthur C. Clark proposal for the presidency:

1) Pick an adult at random
2) If they do a good job, they can leave early
3) No one who actually wants the job can have it. Ideal candidate has to be dragged kicking and screaming into the White House.

This arrived today. It is quite excellent. A bit more dark and angry than some of your other albums, it's perfect for these dark times. Love the cover too. Highly recommend that electronic music fans on Bluesky check it out.

The War Against Dust, by Phantom Levers from the album Shatter

Trk 323 of 365: a miniature instrumental piece from 2015. Inspired by the short songs on "Another Green World", this chill synth and tape-manipulation track is somewhat pretty and poignant. Free streaming & download

In today’s episode of anything but the Epstein files....

Last week, the US military missed an actual drug boat in the Pacific carrying 13.2 tons of narcotics, which Panama seized—one of the largest hauls to date. Instead of blowing it out of the water, 10 suspects were arrested, and valuable intelligence was gathered. What a concept.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

The War Against Rust, by Jetwelder from the album The War Against Rust

the clever gremlin

Today's right-wing men have never read a book, but think they're smarter than everybody else because they cosplay as the "clever gremlin" from Gremlins 2.

🎯

Unfortunately, I also think this is true of his "true believers". It's gotten to the point where it's more than a "mere disagreement over policy". Pavlovitz's article nails MAGA's pathology better than I ever could.

America so committed itself to racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia, they didn’t realise it would lead to its collapse.
Instead of being an innovator in the 21st Century.
It dug in to hate.
The world no longer trusts America.

That’s a really big fu***** deal!

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!”

--Megyn R. Kelly

“Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!”

--Also Megyn R. Kelly

Some very good moments here, and some cool experiments but they were certainly past their sell-by date by 76. My copy is a decent- sounding CD bootleg. I’ve seen it as a vinyl boot but it was too expensive so I passed. I wonder how much an unopened can version would go for…

Ghost Jobs, by Jetwelder from the album The 3

Trk 320 of 365: a brand new track that has a touch of ye olde T Rex swagger and some of the dirtiest rhythm guitar I ever played. A catchy power pop/ glam thing to kickstart yer weekend. Free streaming & download.
