If anything it was probably a lot of garbage analytics and/or half measures, presented in the worst possible way, ad nauseam . Very on-brand.

This new Rhododendron jam totally rips, and the LP is gonna blow peopleβs minds. Young, hyper-talented shredders from PDX doing some tasty genre-bending. youtu.be/Ey_NUuAP96U?...
I don't think it's laziness. It's just not giving a shit because they know nobody will hold them accountable, they know there are no rules (or if there are, nobody's gonna enforce them), etc.
Thanks
Why is it so hard for streaming services to keep artistβs profiles from being populated by slop? Elder (a sick prog band from Boston/Berlin) announced a new record today, and what pops up in my Tidal notifications? Some slop that is absolutely not Elder. Happens often and it sucks.
Hard same.
just got my 2026 baseball prospectus, which means one more plug. i wrote player comments for the angels, a team that has betrayed fond childhood memories and pisses me off badly. @rileybreck.bsky.social wrote the essay. buy it here:

The kings.
Trash for posers.
This Abraham record slipped my radar last year, but it totally kicks ass. Super heavy, dynamic, dark post-metal/hardcore from Switzerland. Kinda has a Cult of Luna, Neurosis, Coilguns vibe to it. Highly recommended. youtu.be/VY43G1lq_Xk
Late to the game on this, but the Porcelain S/T record from 2024 is excellent. Big Unwound vibes, with a little "METZ at 0.5x" thrown in. Raw, dynamic, melodic, semi-twisted, kinda hooky. I'm digging it. youtu.be/_SdO7x2WWYE?...
Welp

Thanks, Brent!
This is the way.
I am the target demo for this.
Tommy Vardell walked so Mike Alstott could run (over people).
Somehow, somewhere, there is a person named Man Barehand who bridges the gap between these two perfectly.
No words can accurately describe what a force of joy and positivity Tim was. He lit up every room he was in, made everyone smile and feel seen, and he was such an incredible musician. A ray of pure light. This is so heartbreaking.
We are currently governed by people who have their heads jammed several feet up their own asses and theyβre trying to pull the rest of us up in there too. Hate it.
Our @audiotree.bsky.social session is now available on YouTube and all streaming services. We ripped through four new songs from Horizons/West, and Dustin and Teppei sat down for a really solid interview about our creative process and the evolution of the band. I think it all turned out great.
Happy Converge Day to all who celebrate. Iβm spinning this a peak volume, letting it steamroll my brain, and loving every minute of it. tidal.com/album/468877...
Nah. It was more like I gave him 3500 words of unhinged rambling and bottled up resentment, and he was like, βwhat if this mess had a thesis and followed an outline?β A novel idea. I think it worked!
Itβs such an honor to be included in a book with so many of my favorite baseball writers. Canβt wait to dive into all these essays and player profiles.
My pleasure. Thank you guys for being so patient and encouraging with me.
Huge thanks to @cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com for letting me be a part of it, and to @euqubud.baseballprospectus.com for being such a phenomenal editor.
Baseball season is officially here! I wrote the Angels essay for this yearβs @baseballprospectus.com annual, and tried my damndest to dissect the mess that is Angels Baseball.
