Radio Shock

Is Mamdani the first NYC mayor in history who:
1. is nice
2. actually seems to enjoy the job
?

The DJT (Trump Media) stock value is down about 75% from its post-election peak. Or calculated the way the Trump admin does percentages, you'd say it's down 300%

Appropriate that Florida gets to be its whole own category.

Microwaves rule if you're into no wave, sci-fi shred, brutal prog, dissonant thrash metal, or nu-math music. This new album sounds amazing!

A kid tried to pull the infinite sequence of "why?"s on me, but I said "Look, I've played this game out to the end and it always comes down to entropy and the 2nd law of thermodynamics" and that shut him up, partly because he could tell I was ready to launch into a very detailed explanation.

I sometimes recall a science article I read analyzing the most mechanically efficient methods of human locomotion. Unsurprisingly they found walking and a medium jog, then mention "a third method of locomotion that nobody uses." WHAT? No further explanation! I still want to know what it is!

Both of these options sound better than anyone who has EVER played the Super Bowl. I cannot comprehend people who hate anything that is different or interesting.

Celebrity actors must love Super Bowl ad season. They get to show up somewhere for 15 minutes, say a dopey line like "So buttery!" collect a few hundred grand, and their image gets pasted into some nonsensical, overwrought concept that nobody will remember or know what it was selling anyway.

I've still got the CD somewhere, but somehow it looks even better in j-card format.

Beautiful J-card design. Love the choice to color and incorporate the parental advisory like it's a seal of approval. Good album too.

For those who know Jude the dog, his lymphoma returned. His doctor believes he's got more life in him and can get a 2nd remission w more treatment. The first weeks of that are roughest & need frequent walks, monitoring, and love. Touring is out for now, so... good time to book Radio Shock in NYC !

I have to miss INC (Int'l Noise Conference in Miami) this year. I'm sad to miss all the fun and excitement, but I have a sick pet who needs daily care right now. I'll always love INC's spirit of radical inclusivity and hope to return next year!

I've never even heard of this place thanks for the tip! FYI, I did find a couple adapters that worked at a Guitar Center.

any Dem not running on a platform of "every one of these fuckers from top to bottom is going to prison at best" is not worth your time or notice

Congratulations on your new pet mouse

Where would a person buy audio cables and/or adapters in the modern day? Back in the day I'd just hit a Radio Shack. But now? Need a couple cables to go from 1/8" stereo to 1/4" mono.

Just flew to Seattle to play some shows & discovered that United left my checked bag back in New Jersey!!! Luckily I'm a little paranoid (justifiably it appears) and carried my sequencer and guitar, so I can still do a set of simplified old-school songs. But yeesh the stress. Not cool, United.

Heading to the PNW tomorrow for another Radio Shock tiny tour! Recommended if you like: No Wave, DEVO, Wolf Eyes, ZZ Top.
1/22 Seattle at Dracula's Castle
1/23 Corvallis at Interzone (opening for short film Painless Magic, starts early 6:30!)
1/24 Portland at Wyrd Hut
1/25 Olympia at Le Voyeur

No score and one paragraph is what all album reviews should be anyway. Sounds like an upgrade to the @pitchfork.com experience.

A lot of Threads is just people (or scammers or bots, etc) finding ways to game the algorithm. So unless you've done some cultivation of yr feed, you just get various flavors of engagement bait.

It amuses me greatly to discover that everything my dad always told me I was wasting my money on: records, comic books, band T-shirts, now even CDs and the Transformers toys I asked for as a kid - has proven to be a totally solid investment.

Proper tour (more than 3 or 4 days) in April, reaching out to book stuff now.

Upcoming tour for my project Radio Shock (no wave/trip Metal/synth-punk) in the PNW!
Thurs 1/22: Seattle at Drac's Castle
Fri 1/23: Corvallis at Interzone
Sat 1/24: Portland at Wyrd Hut
Sun 1/25: Olympia at Voyeur
More details shortly or just DM me!

"Wintry mix" sounds like something delightful but is actually The Worst Weather.

Can someone just make Tetris for iPhone that is EXACTLY like the old Gameboy version? No hints or dotted line guides (cheating) or online anything (garbage)

Green lit.

Not only am I expected to remember all my friend's names, but I'm supposed to remember all their internet names as well

Calling it now: That White House ballroom will not be finished before the end of 2028. Wouldn't be surprised if it's still a big hole in the ground.

I know that's what I'll be doing

That's almost correct. It's actually an 8-minute training course, mainly about how to put tape over removed tabs and pushing pause and record together and so forth.
