This made me tear up a little

I hate Anthony Fantano so much that I find it difficult to speak coherently about him

Learning Joe Pass' arrangement of Days of Wine and Roses that he recorded with Ella Fitzgerald. Every so often I find myself just floored by how brilliant what he did was. I'll just have to sit and marvel at how he delivered an E7#9

Feels like a miracle that Ozzy was able to do the last Sabbath show. What a beautiful end.

Probably the worst meme template on twitter. It was bad even before it'd been done to death

Translation: art should tell me how smart I am and tell the people I don't like how dumb they are

They don't. Women love this idea that their aesthetic decisions are enraging unworthy men. It gives them the sense that they're filtering out the weak ones while they're banging the worst people they can possibly find

I'm not the kind of guitar player to get super excited about amps, pedals, etc. but I respect guys who are into that stuff because I think it's a positive manifestation of the masculine urge to slowly and consistently build a system that works

Most tiresome, safe-edgy horseshit available to mankind. Her shit is what you end up with when you try to make mugs that have "male tears" written on them into a genre of music

Some people think reading philosophy is bad for you, like it makes you more neurotic or too in your head or whatever. I don't necessarily think that, it's just that compared to reading novels, I have almost no desire to read any philosophy.

I go back and forth about how optimistic I should be about where our culture is, but this is a very good sign
