I used to think I had two wolves inside me, turns out it’s Beavis and Butthead.™️

Voyager 1 is currently 15 billion miles away… and her red flags are still visible. Amazing tech!

A reality show prez really had a lover’s spat with enol musk and you can vote for either one at mid terms cuz they’re enemies now. True or False?

Doesn’t feel like a year’s passed. Requiescat Steve Albini. 🥀

Naomi Klein: 'What They Want Is Absolutely Everything' The ‘Shock Doctrine’ author explains the dark logic of Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s path of destruction and why billionaire oligarchs are so angry.

"Capitalism has entered a radical and apocalyptic phase. There is no utopian vision in any of this."

Interview ⤵️

As a lone wolf --a freelancer or self-employed artist with only domestic overhead-- it's certainly possible to make a living, sometimes a good one. Bands and other very small collectives can do okay if they are savvy and plug all their leaks. A viable business in the arts? Basically doesn't exist.

AC/DC was on regular rotation in the old Slint van, always, pre and post Spiderland. 🚀

Man there are only like five perfect albums people are just naming fucking records. You like Pearl Jam? Cool, that's none of my business. Perfect? Eat my ass.

The major problem with booking agencies is they have no incentive to make deals efficient or transparent. They get a percentage of what the band gets paid, and cannot care about anything else on the page. If inefficient shadiness gets the band an extra grand, they get an extra $150 and that's great.

The Rolling Stones lips but it's a butthole. Do they still sue people? I have an idea.

All parts licensed neck, $80 basswood body from China, 3 way switch, volume for each pickup, master tone, Vega trem, hot Seymour Duncan pickups, humbucker upside down in the bridge, single coil neck, 561k vol, 334k neck, 1951 Russian tone cap 29nF tone cap, etc etc nice lightweight lil noisemaker

Being on my own all the time I start up silly habits to amuse myself. So when I drop something or stub my toe, I yell “SPACE!” Like the way Thomas Dolby yells “SCIENCE!” When I set something down without paying attention and it falls or something I balanced on something else falls, I yell “GRAVITY!”

And today I’m bringing McDonald’s to my son after school and driving him back to his Mom’s. That’s it. Takes three hours of navigating LA freeways and an hour of charging and worth every second. That’s all, carry on!

Spent yesterday recording strange / ambient guitar sounds for a soundtrack, at the same studio where the wall and rumours were mixed. Never heard The Wall and Rumours album… who did it?

Who’s going to see Michael Rother perform Harmonia and Neu! classics in LA this Saturday? I am! That’s right. I am.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Can’t recall which eurotrash horror I was watching but it may have been massage parlor murders…? I leave em running in the background but I’m a fan of random pause scenes!

My crib is a junkyard.

Why isn’t there a big time Hollywood popcorn movie on the Black Panthers? Doesn’t need any further dramatization. If you make this movie, please give me cash for the idea thx

Should I build it with this headstock?!

Last night’s hillbillystonerprocessedsugarkrapblast #hillbillystonerprocessedsugarkrapblast

Bob was looking sweaty the other night 😶‍🌫️

First time I blocked out a trem cavity, just went at it without knowing anything… ferrules are shit! But it sounds and plays amazing, light as hell (5lbs 6oz!), looks super cool to me, all fucked up n shit. Neck is 8.3k, bridge is a whopping 16.4k (made by a British pickup winder, Axesrus).
