New @thewiremagazine.bsky.social! I had the great pleasure of interviewing Bruno Silva, whose Ondness and Serpente records are some of my favourite music of recent years. I also wrote an essay on the metal subculture in 2026 and reviewed new albums by BBBBBBB 🥵 and Jesse Draxler 🖤.

It was a pleasure to interview the filmmaker Pepa Lubojacki for @theguardian.com about pigeons, systemic injustice, and the importance of writing, as her heartbreaking documentary is at times essayistic. If Pigeons Turned to Gold deserves all the acclaim & more. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/se...

V Respektu mám profil Jakuba Jansy, který letos reprezentoval Česko na největší světový události ve světě umění. Jeho film je inspirovaný Müllerovým Krtečkem i Kafkou a poukazuje na kulturní propagandu. Už od sportovního gymnázia Jansu zajímá taky výkonností kultura, kterou zesiluje internet.
