it amuses me that a lot of the artists who make references to Pavement sound much much more like The Smashing Pumpkins

I get instinctively feeling cautious about anyone who's been in the church and wishing they'd participate in some kind of crusade against the organisation to clear their name, but the church is famously brutal in how it stalks and harasses ex-members who speak up! Most of 'em have suffered enough!

also seen a lot of people smugly jump on Beck wrt Scientology associations, despite it clearly seeming like a bad situation for him (article suggests he was abused by the church as a kid, then was manipulated back into their orbit for a few years at the turn of the millennium before getting out)

Elle Barker @ellebarker.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

seen a lot of praise for the writing, but the tone feels totally inappropriate considering how loaded with conjecture all of it is (particularly wrt Leigh's experiences and the quote "Leigh declined to be interviewed, but I spoke with people close to her thinking")

read this earlier and both it and the reaction to it has been bothering me

Here's a new post by me on Robert Altman's adaptation of The Long Goodbye, exploring Elliott Gould's portrayal of Philip Marlowe, the movie's Scuzzy '70s feel, and a multiverse-style fantasy imagining the ideal artists and bands to cover the film's title song. reclinernotes.com/2026/09/13/t...

The Long Goodbye: Altman and Gould’s Marlowe, the Scuzzy ‘70s, and an Imagined Soundtrack

Director Robert Altman called his 1973 adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s hard-boiled crime novel The Long Goodbye “a satire in melancholy.” The film stars goofily sincere Elliott Gould as detective …

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.

Labour MPs (and probably Starmer himself) are too arrogant, thick, and aimless to see it tho

Elle Barker @ellebarker.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

have believed for a long time that this was always fundamentally the goal of the people who've been funding the Labour Party since Starmer won the leadership

Anthropic Is building a surveillance system to monitor activists using a “pre-crime” approach that tries to predict incidents before they happen. The extensive monitoring system that the AI company is building is aimed primarily at keeping tabs on activists who oppose the rapid development of AI.

...the encore Steve dumped his guitar on me (the red Guild) and let me make some noises with it. V neat thing to happen to a teenage indie rock dork (I got the setlist ofc).

...staring at the lower half of my face. Half-thought "woah is he reading my lips to remember the words", but dismissed it. Then, I messed up the words to the opening verse of one song and Steve made the exact same flub and lost his composure (the band had to start the song over). At the end of...

Saw the Jicks at the Brudenell in Leeds right after my 19th birthday in January 2014. Stood right in front of Malkmus for their set (as any dorky indie rock teenager would) and sang along to every word. It was the first show of the tour and at some point I realised that Steve had spent the whole...
