So far I am getting a perverse thrill out of staring blankly at every episode of 'I Love L.A.' It's like the show is telegraphing that every character will be tortured and killed by the Saw guy if you keep watching long enough.

If you pitch up "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" one half step you can reharmonize the opening solos to a major key if you play it over Low's "2 Step." This is how I do fall music now, this is how deep I need to go to feel it.

I don't know how it happened but I suddenly found my Sweetwater sales rep officiating my wedding

Chotiner: And Jeremy bought this RCA cable how long ago?
My Sweetwater sales rep: 56 months
Chotiner: Say it in years.
My Sweetwater sales rep: What?
Chotiner: How many years ago did he buy the RCA cable?
My Sweetwater sales rep: I like to keep in touch with my clients!
Chotiner: 4 and a half years

Boulevard was the first deep house album I ever encountered when I was 22, a skeezy guy who loved clubbing played it for me and was like "Well, you suck, but I think I can get with this"

So much of a fear of newness comes from a fear of social dissolution, that we have to be familiar and recognizable as ourselves lest that weakens the bond: it should be roundly socially acceptable to be transient people moving through the world unfixed by anyone’s perception

I am in the process rebuilding my entire mind and body to make room for a newfound love of deep house. Deciding what stays, what goes… the culling of old artifacts of former selves. This is the greatest feeling of being a human

For Halloween I went as my horrific insatiable desire to make a joke about singing “keys, phone, watch, wallet” to the tune of Nitzer Ebb’s “Join In the Chant”

God damn forgot he played on this big record, absolute tune www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5CN...

YouTube video by Miroslav Vitouš - Topic Synthesizers Dance

He played on so many classic jazz records (Jackie McClean's Demon's Dance!) and Miles obviously and so many silk robe CTI records and fusion records in the 70s, and you gotta check out this Miroslav Vitous gem www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Pqf...

YouTube video by Suha Önder John Abercrombie ✤ Dave Holland ✤ Jack DeJohnette ► Sorcery I [HQ Audio] Gateway 1975

The prime and primordial Jack DeJohnette tune with some sick shredding from everyone here, beast mode but so musical www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAFl...

Chotiner: And you're against vinyl reissues on principle?
Me: Yes. No, it depends. If they're using the original stampers that's fine.
Chotiner: So you've verified all your matrix runouts?
Me: I mean on Discogs.
Chotiner: And you don't own any vinyl rip reissues of private press jazz?
Me: Now Isaac—

Made even more evident by the songs she cut from the record, too

Joanna Newsom's 'Divers': Where Can You Find Peace? — Jeremy D. Larson Maybe my ears are  fragile . It feels like the aperture between my ears and my head is twisting to become smaller and smaller. Years ago I pictured the opening to be the size of silver dollar, ...

I wrote about Joanna Newsom's 'Divers' a decade ago just as I was falling in love again, and still feel kind of dizzy thinking about the hallucinogenic, rapturous state that record put me in, captured pretty accurately by this www.jeremydlarson.com/blog/2015/11...

In the Time of D’Angelo With just three studio albums, the R&B icon changed the entire gravity of music. We reflect on the art, soul, and power of the multi-hyphenate star.

Oklou’s Endless Summer In the afterglow of her magnificent album, choke enough, and the birth of her first child, Marylou Mayniel decamps to the southwest of France. The city is quiet, the heat is unbearable, and there’s a ...

Oklou in Pau, France. Our new cover is my favorite one we've done. A terrific story from Anna Gaca on a soft and tender new mother and pop star pitchfork.com/features/cov...

We're giving a lot of cover to Over-Determined Leftist Film Guys but that's a fight for another day

Inevitably, when we closed the list, we were all like "Hell yeah this is awesome, we love this, people are going to dig it" like it was my first day online workin for the site

You'll be pilloried for this. Pilloried!

Yeah sure. I'm dating myself but I remember when Stylus published the Top 101-200 Favourite Albums of All Time and I generally think that's the best idea for a list stylusmagazines.com/feature_ID_8...

The only canon we are trying to change with the rap list is show that Rap Guys are the most annoying kind of guy on the internet, finally shifting the hegemony away from the annoying Poptimism Guys

“Rage bait” I declare, as I see the winning Powerball numbers are not on my ticket
