It's not that normal. Melanchon is a pretty puffed-up guy and won't make it easy. It's way better than what could've gone down of course, but the path will be pretty difficult

It’s essentially a perfect record as it was and i doubt it’s been improved—taking the pillow off 100 Rooms didn’t make it better. but if Martin wanted to remix it good for him. I will certainly pick it up

Impeccably effective writer of prose. Two masterpieces, full stop. The Montana<>Chicago bond is real--one location defined by unbendable and eternal forces of nature, the other by man's assertion of (temporary) dominance of it. Young Men and Fire is about that dichotomy explicitly, and so much else

The main reason i think Biden is too old is that I’m too worn out to handle being president and I’m 55

Indifference and a coarsening of expression will be the legacy of AI-generated text. Most people prefer good writing to shitty writing but have not thought about aesthetics enough to care that a text is garbage. They will just lose interest instead of thinking "this sucks and here's why."

AI for the win exhibit 1,000,002. "Ten years since their last road tour, Neil Young and Crazy Horse are back in the game as they hit the live stages with their booming rock-centric music." It gets worse. And no it has not been rescheduled.

New blog post— wrote about Deep Tunnel Project’s new self-titled album, out via Comedy Minus One (@jonsolomon.bsky.social). Also went off on a tangent about the new Shellac album, which will probably forever be linked with it in my mind:

Hey go look at the original post here and preorder the Chin Music 7” while you can. All compositions by our beloved Steve Albini, and it’s the only place you’re ever gonna hear him try to play ska. Also all $ to a great cause (a dear pal of ours who needs the help)

Requiescat Bill Walton. Unspeakably dominant with UCLA/'76-77 Blazers, indefatigable with Boston and thereafter. My bro and i were Dr J fans first but had his Sports Illustrated poster in our shared bedroom. Should have announced every single basketball game ever broadcast on television or radio

Luka is a dickhead and I’ve never liked him—his bitching, lack of D, general tetchiness—but here we are in grudging respect territory, along with Kyrie, who (whatever else there is to say about his pretensions) is at least purely beautiful to watch on offense. And vs Boston…there’s no choice

“Feature it or fuck it” came from Heather Whinna, while she was producing either Lifestyle or Italian Platinum. I forget what it was said about in particular, but she was also correct

It is absolutely an object that will evoke joy and delight. There is literally no other $8 object in the material world that can boast as much.

To everyone who ordered a record, thank you. It has been a very difficult time since that evening post. I thought they would have started shipping by next week but there has been a delay with the pressing plant. Looks like they will ship in early June. Thank you for your patience. ❤️

Plenty of room for in-depth study of the world while becoming a top-shelf professional athlete. You just have to read the right books, in between working out six hours a day, massage, hot tub/icing, sleeping eight or nine hours a night, and weighing your food for each of your five full meals

The Deep Tunnel Project album is in stores TODAY! To celebrate, DTP will be playing a FREE show at Tone Deaf Records in Chicago this Saturday afternoon at 3:00 pm CT. (We’re all sold out of vinyl so record shops like this one are the only place to snag an LP.)

I had no dearer friend than Steve Albini. I loved him. More critically he was an asset to the world he lived in. Generous, brilliant, weird. Got better with age. Left things in a much better spot than they would’ve been without him showing up. Zero chance this gap created by his death is ever filled
