Extremely embarrassing to see Bono hanging out with Bill Clinton or Jesse Helms or the Dalai Lama or whoever until you realize that he personally persuaded Jesse Helms to support US foreign aid to Africa and that’s how we got PEPFAR and saved untold lives across the continent

I mean, that’s the 21st century economy. As global wealth is consolidated among the uberrich, every major arts institution is increasingly dependent on the whims of a tiny number of eccentric billionaires

haven’t used apple music in forever, so didn’t realize (1) I had it set to repeat, & (2) it has a new “mixing” function, which, for I’m So Excited by the Pointer Sisters, has it seamlessly loop around like the song never ended. At about 10 minutes in I was like “how fucking long is this song??”

If you claim to have never heard Crazy Frog’s “Axel F,” it says more about you than it does Mr. Frog. This about virtue signaling that you are better than entire genres of music, that your friends are not in the custom ringtone game.

hm. being in artistic/media spaces, which tend to be left-leaning, has convinced me that left-leaning politics are dominant in the culture now. i see that i must adopt the ugly aesthetics and moronic, evil politics of the right in order to be "punk rock"

Exactly, by choice, especially after the brief BLM diversity push a few years ago. Country quite intentionally avoids non-white listeners and a music writer knows this.

The BEST part of getting old (and there are many) is that you can ABSOLUTELY miss something wildly popular. Zooshas just flying by while you’re admiring someone’s sensible shoes or whatever. Bliss.

There’s probably something interesting to be said about the divide between urban/coastal audiences who dig trad country, alt-country, and oldies, vs rural audiences who dig modern radio country—like white people who listen to old-school/underground hip-hop & hate the commercial rap on Black radio

Liner Notes Danny @linernotesdanny.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
What’s clever about this song is its nice geosocial conceit, which is exactly what makes it largely illegible to urbanites. We don’t care what Southern state you’re from, any more than the average rural country listener cares about the small differences that obsess New York narcissists.

I live in a little gay bubble, and I have plenty of friends who worship Reba, Shania, and of course Dolly. It’s also worth pointing out that Taylor Swift, one of the most ubiquitous pop artists in the US, got her start in country, and the music she’s making now isn’t substantially different

Liner Notes Danny @linernotesdanny.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
I had’t heard the song until last week because I don’t listen to the radio, I hear it by accident, and even if I did listen to the radio, there’s no country station in NYC. Which is too bad! But this is to say, it’s not a song any music lover would seek out on purpose. It is nothing special.

Liner Notes Danny @linernotesdanny.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Yeah it’s… fine. It’s a pop song with a little twang to it. She’s a good singer! There are better singers delivering better pop songs in 2026, and it seems clear that she’s been ruling the charts because of changes in the rules governing the charts and in the ways that people listen to music.
