I mostly talk about music, especially 90s + indie rock. My other titles include: he/him, husband, girl dad, journalist, occasional podcaster | Sometimes I make beats as Hallingkast (linktr.ee/hallingkast) | My views are my own.

Just a friendly reminder that the movies and books of our youth lied to us and there is NO ONE swooping in at the last minute to save you.

Why would anyone with half a brain mention gas and the 1970s in a positive light, in the same sentence?

The eighth wonder of the modern world: The fact The Cure released the best album of their career in 2024. (For reference, the band was founded in 1976.)

Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight (Full Album) - YouTube The full album for The Midnight Organ Fight / Music by Frightened Rabbit playlist Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight / Frightened Rabbit Full Album...

Midnight Organ Fight by Frightened Rabbit is one of those weird albums where the second half (side B for us record folk) is notably better than the first half. Starting at Head Rolls Off and onward... wowzer. Special appreciation given to Floating in the Forth, Poke and Keep Yourself Warm. #music

I said before that music festivals are a luxury item for the bourgeoisie. It's ridiculous how expensive these events are. It costs $315 for a single ticket to a regional festival in Iowa. I don't see a future for myself where I can afford something like this and still eat that month.

Anyone know where to pick up my check from the weekend's protest? I was not told ahead of time this was a paid gig, so I'm kind of working backwards.

The superintendent of Des Moines schools, the largest district in the largest city in Iowa, was disappeared by ICE today after he went to the site of an ICE raid that impacted his students. Why is no one talking about this? @cnn.com @nbcnews.com @washingtonpost.com @podsaveamerica.crooked.com

That pause is the worst -- then I feel obligated to follow up with "do you agree?" to which the answer is usually "yes" and I'm out a quote. Best case, they repeat what you just said back to you so the whole monologue can be used as a quote attributed to them ๐Ÿ˜‚

My dealer recently told me he was switching from hard drugs to vaccines. Seems like that market is a lot more profitable right now.

At this point I'd estimate about 85-90% of my music listening is nostalgic in nature. That means a solid majority of what's in the headphones was created between 1991 and 2011. IMO, that's a pretty solid 20 years of tunes.

James Dobson was a crazy pastor/eugenicist who pushed conversion therapy and sympathized w/ Ted Bundy. Heโ€™s best known for spreading the gospel of child abuse and instructed his parishioners to beat the shit out of their children - which they did. A unique evil in a sea of hate. Burn in hell, bitch.
