Here is a photo of me in my early 20s, smug as hell with the mistaken belief that my music taste was better than everyone else’s

Double exposed photo of me in me early 20s, probably late 90s. Photo is from mid-torso up, and while my body is facing the camera, my eyes are looking at something out of frame to the left. I am wearing a white T shirt, have shoulder length hair, and a ridiculous smirk on my face. There is a massive zit in the middle of my forehead. I am holding a beverage can of unknown provenance. Double exposed over the photo is another ghostly photo of what appear to be wires and cables or possibly tree branches.

ANYWAY if you’ve seen it I want to hear your take on it, I gotta know if I’ve gone insane. If you haven’t seen it, you should. Then come find me. 8/fin

I finally watched The Color of Pomegranates (1969) the other night. Never in my entire life has a film affected me the way this one has. It is the most fascinating, beautiful piece of art I have ever encountered and I am still trying to process how it managed to make me feel the way it did. 1/

A still from “The Color of Pomegranates”. The room is plain, with worn plaster walls and a dirt floor. in the foreground, a very pale woman in an ornate embroidered green and silver robe and elaborate headdress stands with arms outstretched, a sword in one hand and a chicken perched on the opposite shoulder. In the background two men kneel, one in a white robe and the other in a tasseled red shirt and black pants, a gold sash around his waist, a pair of gold wings on his back, and a mask on his face. Surrounding them are a pile of black fabric and an overturned blue vase.

I remember this one selling within hours of being listed and my first thought was “oh shit, I clearly should have charged more”. Time shows that my fears were unfounded.

Could I have held into this one and cashed in for unbelievable amounts of noisebuxxx? Probably? But then I would have had this garbage in my collection for another 20 years. I’m glad he’s dead.

Every D senator should have never stopped trying to impeach him from his first day in office, for all the impeachable shit he’s been doing the entire time. I don’t even know what to say to anyone qualifying impeachment with an “if”.

@gregpak.net posts: Every D rep and senator needs to make public statements right now that if Trump nukes Iran, they’ll never stop trying to impeach him.

Reminder that you will never regret collecting your cats’ shed whiskers and keeping them in a little jar or shot glass. This is easily the most magical item in my home.

Mocked up this sticker design his morning, born from great conversations with great people at the Freeform Portland fundraiser closing party last night

One of the Galactic Ass Creatures From Uranus cropped from the cover of the Detroit Grand Pubahs album of the same name. Two legs in thigh high boots terminating in a butt, but between the butt cheeks are a big eye and angry mouth with pointy teeth. Text around the image says “KIDS THESE DAYS ARE TOO WOKE FOR DR. BOOTYGRABBER”.

I'm on the air in just a few hours @freeformportland.org. I've pulled a grip of old favorites to draw from as the mood moves me, and have some new spooky jams from Cryo Chamber records and the new Steve Roach/Soriah collaboration album on Projekt.

About to do a radio from the rave cave. Listen in at FreeformPortland.org, or on the air on 90.3 and 98.3 FM in Portland, OR, from 8-10 PM pacific time…

A DJ booth in a mysterious dark room lit by two small lights. Stood up next to the turntables are Antlers Mulm “The Age of Efficency” and ANOHNI “Hopelessness” on LP. A laptop sits between them on a laptop stand.

I bought Pure that summer because this dude is wearing a Godflesh shirt on the band photo for “Cause of Death”, and it had a song called “Mothra”. The proverbial weirdo in my art class had gotten me into extreme metal just months earlier. I had no idea what I was getting into and I fucking loved it

This is tough because in 1992 I was deep into the forgettable alternative rock of the time, but I have scraped that barrel and decided on four. What perfect albums came out when you were 16?* *no retroactive cool, please. Albums that were in the house that you actively purchased and listened to
