Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

You’ve inspired me to listen to this now. I remember thinking it was surprising that a fugazi record was on color vinyl, for some reason.

It’s one of my favorites of theirs.

It’s REALLY fuckin good.

rolling into october...

I had this as a kid and wore out the binding from reading it so often. I wish I still had it and the flexi disc that came with it.

My search history now contains “Tommy Lee headset mic”.

in retrospect, there’s probably never been a name as threatening as “America Online”

Fantastic.

Maybe it was the AC/DC post.

Pro Washington state, anti Trump sticker on pole

I’m sad to hear this, too. James was a good dude, indeed.

I count the now infamous battle of the bands with Evergreen, which I think you were there as well.

Song titles from the new Superchunk album: “No Hope”, “Everybody Dies”. They’ve nailed the moment.

Blue Oyster Cult will be at the Washington state fair, too. With BTO.

It’s a shame they had to nuke the town I used to live in.

The Feelies LP “the Good Earth”

Now listening to a good album with a cover that screams 80s college rock.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

I wish I saw that show! I never did see Pitchblende.

I remember being thrilled to find a Neu! CD there.

I don’t know what I expected, but I was still surprised.
