Today, Oakland's Exuvia release their debut album Trans Vengeance Metal. A vessel for processing collective trauma, expressing rage, & reclaiming autonomy, the album is serpentine journey of despair & resilience through blackened death metal & progressive crust.

I finally started watching Andor and can't get over how much screen time gets devoted to bevs. Barely halfway through the first season and we've seen like three different milks, several nog varieties, a coffee... is this market research for new Disneyland concessions?

Are there any new "collective" bands going these days? I wanna see like nine talented people teaming up to do their thing on a stage - your Swanses, your GY!BEs, your Broken Social Scenes. Is this even possible today when the personal brand is hypercommodified and we all work three jobs to make art?

Mentally, I'm here

Sign over a grocery aisle that I took in Dongbei Province, China in 2006. It's a big yellow sign with text on each side and arrows pointing to the side of the aisle for the text. On one side in Chinese it says 干货, which means "dried food" but is translated in English as "Fuck goods" and on the other side in Chinese it says 干果, which means "dried fruit," but is translated in English as "Fuck."

I know we have more pressing issues to address but I think it's important to acknowledge that the media remains shockingly silent on one of the longest running conflicts of our time: Walgreens versus CVS over the claim of most depressing retail experience possible

I'm increasingly hearing justifications for gen-AI use in music along the lines of "I'm a solo artist and don't know how to play xyz" - you're not a solo artist, you're doing karaoke with an algorithm. Stolen valor from every sad basement nerd with a tape deck. Learning to make music is the point.

I just turned down a mixing project. It was a great rate, sweet person, and potential for longer term work. I didn't learn they were using AI to write and produce until we had a call to talk logistics. It caught me off guard and took a bit to catch up with how I actually felt about taking it on.

1001 #64: Ozomatli - Street Signs Mixed bag of movie credits music, albeit with heart. Loved the rap songs and the Chali 2na collab, got a little too Santana Ft. Rob Thomas for my tastes other times. Three stars. Favorite Track: the unbridled aughts energy of the Saturday Night music video

Album cover of Ozomatli's Street Signs shows, predictably, a street sign. A male and female figure are walking clutching their squares as a squiggle escapes the male figures chest.

#63: The Wailers - Catch A Fire I don't go deep with Bob Marley beyond the hits. Listening through the album was kind of like, yeah, okay, this is chill, groovy. But at the very end (at least on Tidal), I hear High Tide or Low Tide (Jamaican Version) and it's way different, so I looked it up --
