Everyone who follows me here probably also follows me on Instagram. So this is not likely to be news. But... after three-decades of being out of print, Pitchblende's 1993 debut LP, Kill Atom Smasher, is now out again on vinyl as of today. Order a copy at: pitchblendedc.bandcamp.com/album/kill-a...

Not sure if I have any friends who enjoy bluegrass, folk, and Americana... but I'm going to Sierra Hull at the Birchmere on Monday 9/21. She's like the Jimi Hendrix of mandolin and I dig her authentic sound. If you're into that, hit me up and I'll meet you there. youtu.be/sFIQgPAms88?...

Hotter than a mink's dink out there. And choking smoke is gathering from forest fires a thousand miles away. I hope the next generation develops a workable solution for climate change. And I'm glad I won't be around to see the worst of it.

Recommends: Watch "The Choral" on Netflix, listen to "The Invisible String" LP by Elliptical Path (ellipticalpath.bandcamp.com/album/the-in...), and read Anthony Bourdain: The Last Interview.

Recommends: Watch the Martin Short doc on Netflix, listen to Angine de Poitrine Vol II (simply incredible, despite their overexposure), and read Michael Palin's North Korea Journal, which has been out for a few years but offers sharp observations on the ultimate cult of personality.

In the last 48 hrs. good teams like Portugal, Mexico, and Brazil exited the World Cup. And let's not forget that Belgium is ranked #9, despite having a "meh" tournament so far. So, what bothers me is not the U.S. losing, but they way they froze up and made some truly awful plays tonight. Heavy sigh.

Graham Platner should fall into a hole and never be heard from again. And shame on people who've supported him. Just because Platner's economic policies are good, that doesn't excuse his being a colossal piece of shit.

Unpopular opinion, because I know living in DC is "cool" and living in Virginia is "not cool". But I'm glad I don't live in the District right now, with the ugly, invasive police state being imposed on it by the federal government. DC needs statehood more than ever. Free the Douglass Commonwealth.

I'm listening to Leonard Cohen's "Songs of Love & Hate" album, and never realized how much the Minutemen's "Cohesion" sounds exactly like an instrumental version of "Love Calls You By Your Name". Which makes me wonder what musical tradition Cohen stole it from. Flamenco maybe?

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

Backrooms is the the most unsettling film I've seen in a while. Lynch + Cronenberg + Blair Witch + The Shining + Being John Malkovich. It was a matter of time before someone made a movie that looked like one big nightmarish AI hallucination, and that person is 20 years old. Original and terrifying.

Occurred to me last night that Get Him to the Greek (2011) is like The Odyssey. Even the title suggests a Homerian epic. But instead of a war hero trying to get home, it's a drug-addled has-been rock star trying to get to back the theater where he did his famous live concert 10 years earlier.

In January 2029, I will volunteer to help scrape every last vestige of trumplandia from DC's built environment and set the city back to the way it was. The U.S. needs a Marshall Plan to restore America's institutions, regain public trust, and heal our many physical and emotional scars.

Real life example of a 12th century animal fable #leopardsatemyface #Politics #News

A scorpion sits on the back of a frog with a human-like eye in a stylized lake setting, accompanied by text that reads: "Why did you sting me? I shall die and you will surely die as well," said the frog. "Libtard," said the scorpion. "Trump 2028."

If you haven't read Jean Baudrillard's "Simulacra and Simulation" and "America", both written in the 1980s, I recommend you do. His explanations of hyperreality and postmodernism were scarily prescient. We live in the world he foresaw 40+ years ago; no one knows what's real or not real anymore.

Every January 9, I think about this song, by one of the most criminally unheralded post-punk bands ever: Dog Faced Hermans, from Scotland. Busy drums, rumbling bass, dissonant squalls of guitar, and the lead instruments are trumpet and viola. Everything about it is perfect. youtu.be/wPPuDfZVKqQ

Two things. Thing 1: Tone, Czonka, and Oms tomorrow night Sat 11/1 at Galactic Panther, Alexandria. Thing 2: Means of Production is releasing Electric Grandmother's first vinyl LP early next year! 18 songs! Do you find them offensive? TOO BAD. Their songs are catchier than any other DC band. Fact.
