To me rn a lot of contemporary American music feels more like a neoliberal cos play of past cultural movements than anything radical or reflective of the brutalizing era we live in.

whenever someone is like “you can’t simply do what Mamdani is doing in [non-NYC place]” the next question should only ever be “why not try?”

STUDIO 54TH OF JULY IS BACK AT FALLOUT THIS CATURDAY JULY 4TH RVA! It’s not about the country it’s about supremely nasty jams and how freeing hearing them makes you feel. All vinyl all Eliza and myself b2b2b2b2b2b from 9PM until the lights come on
There’s a lot happening here

But imagine an American flag that has red stripes which are actually snakes or perhaps heads of the imperialist hydra with eyes and teeth focused on the global south!

Surrounding that is flare like stars and disco balls, the text STUDIO 54TH OF JULY 

FEATURING AREA WOMAN AND THE DISCO CAT
FALLOUT 117 N 18th St

In an effort to learn more about both Spanish and tarot I’ve been practicing talking about the latter in the former language and I just gotta say that it’s amusing El Colgado which is the translation for “The Hanged Man” can also mean stoner and/or fruitcake, among other things

I feel like it’s a concession to refer to so many places of commerce as third spaces while yes I get it I think it does a disservice to when there was an actual commons and allows us to be complacent in the encroachment of private property upon every inch of the earth
