I read early drafts of the book and it was pretty interesting. But way more importantly, Lost City seems to do a spooky shirt every October, and I’ve grabbed two different ones and they both rule

That is a weird ass comparison. I’m not even sure what people who said that thought they were hearing. lol

A shirt from lost city books and a copy of Morbidly Curious by Coltan Scrivner

Since it’s Amazon prime day or whatever, I walked up to the local bookstore and got a kickass new shirt and a book!

I haven’t listened to anything by Summoning the Lich since I bought a shirt from them and only realized after I got home that it had the most inane tongue in cheek diatribe about “Yeah I listen to metal blah blah blah” on the back of it

Oooof sorry

If you don’t find them buy new ones 😬

Thanks for sharing, I’ll have to track down the actual articles. But I’m a bit worried that these are going to be studies on mice or rats, and if so we probably shouldn’t treat them as evidence about humans

YouTube video by NPR Music 31 Minutos: Tiny Desk Concert

Chile's most popular children's puppet show got its own Tiny Desk Concert, and it SLAPS. The songs are BANGERS. Give it a listen. youtu.be/UEqTIwRrWvA?...

I don’t think you missed much that was FOMO-worthy from your perspective. You would have definitely had fun. But it was way closer to my tastes than yours. But last night was pretty close to perfect from my perspective

Today is my birthday.
If anyone wants to make this day a little more special for me, why not check out my music if you haven't yet?

Happy birthday!! And congratulations on the killer new album!

It’s not US, but borders are fake. So I would say that Blood Quantum is a nice example of this (other folks have mentioned the other examples I like)

No, this weekend was a Punks for Palestine benefit fest in DC. But the vibe was not unlike Furnace. It was a massively supportive and massively multigenerational audience, with folks from low teens though (I’d guess) late 60s

Me too 🖤

Stop it y’all, you’re gonna make me cry at this show 😭

Y’all, it’s wild that I’m almost 50, have a seriously messed up spine and hips, have a body that eats itself, and am still able to go see punk, metal, and hardcore shows all the damn time. I got dealt a shit hand in a lot of ways. But I feel infinitely lucky for the life I’ve lived!

A vegan bacon, egg, and cheese that I made for lunch. Tempeh bacon is my recipe for spicy tempeh, and it rules

Tempeh bacon doesn’t taste like bacon at all, but it’s not supposed to. Even if I ate meat, I would take a vegan bacon, egg, and cheese over the real thing every time, and be happy I did so!

I love those birds so much, and it’s been way too long since I’ve seen them

Yeah, I knew you’d love it!

Majority rule plays like every 5 years, maybe. And all proceeds were going to the Gaza soup kitchen, I believe (maybe split with another org)

Nah they had them. But I was already crossing the $100 mark with the shirt I bought. So they are wrapped in the short, and it’s on me

In case your wondering, I did not fail to buy three records that I now have to hold and carry home without a bag…nope…not me

Majority Rule at St Stephen’s Church, playing at a the Punks for Palestine fest

Gawddamn! Majority Rule still puts on a killer show!

I’m hoping that @terzijdehorde.bsky.social does an Our Breath Is Not Ours Alone set at Roadburn. Mostly because I want to see them and never have. But partly because I want a hoodie and the damn tariffs make that implausible…

@markdoubt.bsky.social relevant to your interests I think

gestalt, by breathe//die 13 track album

I hadn’t heard of this band until they did a split with ANCST, but this is fun grindy hardcore if you like such things breathedie.bandcamp.com/album/gestalt

Complete Discography, by Swiz 32 track album

It’s finally been released. If you like classic DC hardcore this is for you! swiz.bandcamp.com/album/comple...

They are so damn good, but there’s a reason we call the KTAOABC
