Rex's disdain for everyone's childish antics is simply adorable.

Clanging guitars, tangled rhythms, and a proudly nerdy streak. Revisit D.C. noise-rock quartet Pitchblende’s brief, brilliant run as a new reissue of “Kill Atom Smasher” honors late guitarist Justin Chearno and brings their debut back to vinyl.

The D.C. quartet approached noise rock with a sense of sublime geekery.

As a Jan 6 participant, Kylie IS an enemy of the American people. Just not for the reason Trump says she is.

For @bandcamp.com, I wrote about Pitchblende. Boy, do I love Pitchblende. Maybe you will too? They just reissued their debut on LP and their entire catalog is now up on Bandcamp. daily.bandcamp.com/features/pit...

Don't think I've heard this one, but always enjoyed their cover of Neil Diamond's "I Am I Said", or whatever it's called :)

Even before I finished reading, I thought "US Maple". Would you agree that Swordfish / Rain Dogs / Frank's Wild Years Tom Waits often borrows from the Beefheart ouevre? Maybe The Fall, at times -- esp. the Perverted by Language LP. Less bluesy, but the similarities are there.

Most overrated album of the 1980s. Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon heard African music and suddenly were like "oOoOhHh, I wanna be African tOoOoOo!" I listen to and love a lot of African musicians, but never did my honky brain think that I could emulate their style or have the chops to play like them.

"I don't know. Why is YOUR tail wet??" "Erm... I don't have a tail." "Well, see, you're in no position to judge then, are you?" - Snarky things a cat would say in response.

I flew in a helicopter over the big island of Hawaii once to look into a volcano. That was pretty rad. But I got super duper motion sick and ralphed on the tarmac when we landed.

Tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday. Which means you can buy digital music, vinyl, and CDs from your favorite bands at a lower cost, because Bandcamp generously doesn't take a cut. Please visit meansofproductiondc.bandcamp.com to see new releases by Sadassa Silvia, Pitchblende, Cofferdam, and more. Thanks!

So tired of being tired. If there's any silver lining to this top-to-bottom criminal administration, it's that the pendulum may swing hard the other way, ushering in a wave of federal anti-corruption legislation and legal accountability for politicians to last a thousand years.

In music theory terms, the first 30 seconds of Cannonball are what's known as "fucking around in the studio". 😉

They've done the arithmetic. They just don't like the $um and are backing away from sensible solutions.

You nailed it; I'm obsessed with the Edmund Fitzgerald -- from the senselessness of the tragedy to its being memorialized in the classic Gordon Lightfoot song.

I spent a weekend in Ottawa and walked along the Rideau Canal. It was beautiful, but still frozen enough to skate on in APRIL.

I've been listening to a lot of new bluegrass and alt-country artists lately and musing on why I never had before. I think it's because my exposure to country music as a kid came from Hee Haw and hokey Kenny Rogers crossover hits. Country music was as alien to my world as gangsta rap.

Noteworthy, influential, trendsetting are all acceptable substitutes. Iconic is overused and often misapplied.

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...

True. But it's all a distraction from the calamitous Iran war; the disastrous, free-falling economy; and, of course, his name being in the Epstein files a zillion times.

When will people learn that Dump doesn't have any real beliefs (other than enriching himself and sticking it to his critics), and that his "policy" is just whatever acorn happens to fall out of his tree at any moment.

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?...
