99 out of 100 times, political pundits will embarrass themselves when opining on music. Ordinarily, I'd say "stay in your lane," but the entertainment value is too high.

DJ tip: T. Rex's “Mambo Sun” >>> Opal's “Rocket Machine”

All editors and writers—yes, even those at the top of the media food chain—need to learn how to spot and correct dangling modifiers. It's crazy how many of these errors make it through the editorial process. (What do you mean there's no editorial process anymore?)

Jungle Boogie = Ken “Bundy” Brown (Tortoise, Directions, Gastr Del Sol, etc) & Britt Walford (Slint, Breeders, Squirrel Bait, etc). This LP reminds me of Starfuckers' Sinistri: tunnel-visionary post-rock that's so introverted, it's positively transcendent. jungleboogie.bandcamp.com/album/cease-de…

Today in revelations from Mike Barnes' Captain Beefheart bio: Van Vliet sincerely thought he was a better poet than Ginsberg, a better abstract expressionist painter than De Kooning, and a better saxophonist than Coltrane.

During yesterday's run, I saw a sanitation worker eating an orange by the mouth of his garbage truck, and I wish I had a camera, because it looked as iconic as that 1967 photo of a woman putting a flower in a soldier's gun barrel.

Mondo Lava = my new favorite artist on @HausuMountain. Forthcoming album Utero Dei is beautifully chaotic, triggering the same weird shivers as prime-time Black Dice and Monopoly Child Star Searchers. mondolava.bandcamp.com/album/utero-dei

When this is all over, Ghislaine Maxwell's name will be misspelled—and mispronounced—as often as Popol Vuh's.

If you want to opt out of AI Overviews on Google, AI will help you do that. The gd irony...

Real quick: If I'm into the first 6 Black Sabbath albums, will any of Ozzy's solo albums click? Yes, I've never dipped a toe into Mr. Osbourne's catalog, for reasons. Thanks for your guidance and understanding. Also, RIP.

RIP Ozzy. The original Ironman. Early Black Sabbath was a portal into a demented netherworld of strong cheap drugs, fried synapses, strange paranoia & the heaviest weaponry ever committed to wax. They invented several genres & snapped the neck off of popular sound. A true mutant.

The internet tells me that Trout Mask Replica is on Qobuz, but that's tragically untrue.

Riley Gains encourages Trump to sue "into oblivion" Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox Corp, which owns Outkick, which employs Riley Gains.

Looking forward to Fox chucklefucks Hannity, Ingraham, and Watters sweating and stammering on air as they face this dilemma: continue to lick Donny Cankles' shriveled scrotum or pay obeisance to their decrepit boss?

Left America to avoid a rainbow sticker, now he's dodging artillery. Godspeed, soldier of stupidity.
