I want to see Mamdani win in NYC tomorrow for a lot of reasons, but one of them is absolutely to watch Bill Ackman crash out

It is very clear the gutting of Teen Vogue is about silencing their excellent political coverage. Corporations want you uninformed and shut off from meaningful journalism. And they’re staggeringly successful at it so far.

This sucks. Lex, Teen Vogue, and everyone who likes smart reporting deserve much better.

it’s going to be so funny when they call the election for zohran mamdani 30 minutes after polling closes

"Caught by the River" is too low, Luke! But the number one is correct.

The solution to the male loneliness problem: more buddy comedies starring Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson.

Huh, I wonder why a socialist is going to become Mayor of New York City?

Tonight, come celebrate Halloween one more time with ANTICS at Union Pool, featuring cover sets of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Morphine and Deftones!

LOL Whitney.

Also, shout out to the homie @seantcollins.com for his fine work as well.

Dead Souls: Goth Sounds 1967-1990

Thanks to cuts to public education, many children no longer know who Bauhaus or Siouxsie and the Banshees are. So I am grateful to @fluxblog.bsky.social for this essential Goth Playlist, which I will be blasting today while handing out candy.

Now that we've had time to sit with it, we need to acknowledge that Tron: Ares has got to be, hands down, the best soundtrack for a movie no one cares about at all. Nine Inch Nails went harder than was necessary.

MJ Lenderman saw that Cameron Winter was coming for the crown and did what he had to do.

The Régine Chassagne divorce album is gonna make the Lily Allen divorce album look like the Coldplay divorce album.

Me: "I have to focus, this piece isn't going to write itself."

Also Me: 'I've never read the Wikipedia entry for The Taking of Pelham One Two Three and I need to correct that oversight right away."

In fairness, his role in the Yeah Yeah Yeahs was to be the nerdy drummer, providing ballast to the off-the-charts cool of Karen O and Nick Zinner. Three cool people in one band would have been too much.

New wave dweebs? Show some respect to Yeah Yeah Yeahs drummer Brian Chase!

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.

This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.

I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

I wonder if Cuomo's people are desperate enough to attack Mamdani by pointing out that, back in the '90s, his mother directed an adaptation of the Kama Sutra that the right would no doubt call pornographic... if they were aware that it existed.

On November 1st, ANTICS is throwing a Halloween party at Union Pool, and we're bringing musical costumes, featuring all-star cover bands performing the music of Deftones, Morphine and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Come on out and do the Monster Mash with us!

I went All-Americans with my choices.

One week from today, we'll have permission to get so emo-cringe and post "we're so back" when he wins. It's going to be great, can't wait.

I profiled The Twilight Sad a million years ago when I worked at CMJ and I really thought Forget the Night Ahead, a great album, would break them big.

It didn't happen, but there's far worse fates for a former buzz band than "permanent opener for The Cure's periodic world tours."

Have fun in my hometown, Chris. Hit me up if you need food recs.

"They got Chotiner'd" isn't one of those bits that resonates enough to get picked up by late-night shows or other general audience markers. But those who know, know, and oh how we treasure it.

A clear banger, tho.

This is such a dispiriting time. I just want to post stuff like “Car Seat Headrest’s The Scholars is a classic and people will catch on in time,” but instead I gotta be like “I can’t believe Trump had the Statue of Liberty spray-painted gold. Outrageous!”

And secretly (whispers) the best band that did this was Los Campesinos!.

This endorsement has all the excitement and enthusiasm of meeting with your tax accountant.
