Drums are sounding great!
Drums are sounding great!
And the boots with the myrrh.
It’s a big day at the Dischord House!
Amazing amazing amazing. Be generous.

For YEARS I thought he was saying “HEY DAD”, but he’s saying “Hated”???
^The number one FF jam, FACT.
20 minute versions of “Ghost of Tom Joad” let’s go.
R.I.P. Éliane Radigue, one of the most innovative and radical composers of our century- if you haven’t heard her music yet, prepare for something simultaneously delicate and oceanic. I don’t love the word “genius” but she deserves it.
I think about “Derf the Smurf” weekly.
Lars barely held his own with Lou Reed!
He kind of created his own version of it here - youtu.be/5iB2DIyZnH8?...
Velvet Underground - "The Gift"
From a year ago: Wrote about records from Patches, …or Does It Explode?, Future Living, and Hour:
“Incredibly aware of the new U2 EP.”
Killer live performance of the best song from the best album of 2025. @wxyr

The documentary gets into this too - Gene Simmons being like “Why don’t these dudes want to party with me and all these women?” and those three are just reading and smoking pot.
I think they were! Just kinda normal/dorky guys.
It’s nice having all the singles/bonus stuff organized by album. I wound up selling the first box though, which probably has the most amount of “exclusive”/unreleased material.
Of course! It’s easy to build it into a habit. My girlfriend is much better at it than I am, and she was able to get pretty proficient before our trips to Japan. No issues chatting with folks/getting directions/etc.
My go-to is Pimsleur. Much better focus on learning how to hold down an actual conversation and not just identifying random words in sentences.
Pleased to have taken part in the ongoing Archaic Tapes project. Dig in!

Another +1 for Rattlesnake. Hank’s a great dude and I’ve been using nothing but his instrument/speaker/patch cables for years.
Dreamt that Danzing wrote/sang a new Misfits song.
The only lyric I remember was “Rode my bike/still feel like shit” at the end of the first verse (think “Theme from a Jackal” voice.)
I say this as an annual NYA subscriber since it launched (or close to it.)
“The latest in file cabinet technology…”
“Dear Greenland,
Here’s free access to one of the worst-designed apps/websites you will ever visit.
Your move, Bono.
-ny”
Ope.

Still sending donations to VOCAL-TX for anyone who grabs this. Who says Christmas has to end?
Actually gonna bring back trying to sell a flash drive at the merch table.
Sequencing for vinyl is the only way!
Picked up a few Dietrichs CDs recently - all slimlines!
