Bad isolated or bad in the mix? Most of my high vocals sound not-great isolated, but usually end up sounding pretty good mixed against the lead.

The Malkmus/Jicks records are every bit as good as anything Pavement ever did.

CRIMEPOVERTY, by Stove Hospital 12 track album

Do you like incomprehensible lyrics run through a vocal processor over naive folk music followed by punk followed by weird dance music followed by 60s inspired grooves followed by pretty prog weirdness? There’s something for everyone or no one here, lol:

Willoughby, the best dog in the world.

I worry about this dude. His hips aren’t very good and he has a lot of bumps. Sometimes he’ll just start making noises like it hurts him to move. I wish I could just sit on the couch with him all day.
Oh, and yeah, we should probably re-cover that throw pillow, lol.

Drag queens just need to figure out how to fund senators’ super pacs like defense contractors do.

Yes. I have never stopped having 5000 mp3s in my pocket, but now I can also text and doomscroll on the same piece of hardware.

I don’t know if this was β€œbirria” or what, but when I lived in San Antonio, I lived across from a β€œwasheteria” and ordered tacos. It came as tortillas and a bowl of meat soup. It was… odd.

Your post was also patronizing and condescending. Hold yourself to your own standards.

I liked it. A superhero show that’s not really about being a superhero or super powered fighting or anything like that.

Apologies to all my friends on Substack. I'd gritted my teeth and supported you because I love your work. But Substack's partnership with Polymarket is the last straw for me.
