It's disingenuous to whine about "White Mediocrity" and then champion Taylor Swift.

I think it's important to make jokes almost no one gets.

One of the most annoying things about making music is that- music is for children. It's made by kids, for kids, and if you're an adult still doing it, you're in this weird position where you're trying to appeal to children. It's a fool's errand! Kids don't care about adults.

The 1980's were unkind to the icons of the 1960's. Trying to figure out who it was easiest on.

I came upon a playlist of goth/industrial's top streams of this year, and it was just troubling how narrow the parameters of that particular genre truly are. Worse than metal, tbh.

"Coolness" is a quality that stands independent of quality. It's objective, and ageless. I think Suicide probably best embodies this quality.

Like, modern reverb is getting to the point where it's more comically pervasive and samey than the gated snare

Most modern indie music sounds like it's produced for JC Penney

I feel like the whole point of the Rock Documentary is to craft a polemic in favor of its subject. And I think this one nails that goal: buy.couldntyouwait.com

I like this new Beatles song. It's easily the best song the Verve ever wrote.

I started listening to indie rock way too young. And I have been listening for far too long.

Proficient musicians slouch towards prog. Proficient lyricists slouch towards Showtunes.

Upon further thought- I think many of us are looking at Bandcamp as if it was this kinda altruistic endeavor.

Holy crap the Songtradr guy is the biggest tool I've ever seen. Can we be twice as mean to him as we are to Elon?

I liked late stage Twitter because it felt like laughing into the void. Blueski is just... empty

Preparing the new Heavens cameras single. It's gonna be... something.
