And finally there's Algol II by my dear friend @pragmagick.bsky.social. This is one of his best and I'm not just saying it because we're close. Β‘O Pachita! sounds like it's haunted by the angry ghost of Lou Reed.

Bart vs. the World is a strange thing. It felt like the score of The Simpsons if the show was Twin Peaks.

I just found out about Household and after listening to it for a few minutes I fell in love. Just a solid post-rock outfit from New York.

Then there's Foundlings by Mouthorse, the musical project from @mikesheawright.bsky.social . His music is a lot like his comics: frenetic, chaotic, and enticingly idiosyncratic.

I'll start with King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. They've made all of their albums "pay what you want" and I've made a point to get at least one every Bandcamp Friday. My favorite from today's baths is Omnium Gatherum.

It's Bandcamp Friday again, when the site gives all royalties to the artists, and I want to spread the word on a few of the really solid albums I got recently.
I was just reading a book about the creation of the game Missile Command and there's a Dexter Gordon quote at the beginning that's been haunting me lately because of... things...
"In nuclear war, all men are cremated equally."
This scares the absolute shit out of me but isn't this just the plot to the third Omen movie?
The pocket size version of The Feck Up Manifusto is live today. I'll probably write something about it on We the Hallowed but I figured it could hurt to share this today. It was previously released as a zine but this version is much closer to my original idea for it.

My date had popped a few "mystery pills" and I had drank way too much but when it came time to leave we had to take her car and, since the car was a manual and I never learned, she had to drive.
You should also check it out on the site. Keats put a ton of work into making it a true experience.

My brother from another mother @pragmagick.bsky.social released his newest album today. Fucking amazing from top to bottom.

Today is publication day for Usurper by @dharlanwilson.bsky.social and I think y'all should check it out. I wrote about it on We the Hallowed a little while back and thought it was utterly fascinating.
A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying βART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.β, the goat adds βTHEIR HUMANITY.β
Make Art (1/4)
I've seen mysterious socks under a teenager's bed firmer than you, Chuck. Y'all ain't opposition, you're collaborators with kayfabe.
Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal is still proving to be one of the best modern animated series out there. Season 3 is hitting it out of the goddamn park every single episode right now.
A pen drawing of JD Vance, text below it reads βThiel Proxy and Authoritarian Apologist'

ICE out! Stand with Minnesota by participating in a nationwide strike/shutdown on January 30th!
If we don't get it, SHUT! IT! DOWN!
A drawing of an anthropomorphic goat and sheep, the goat is saying βTHEY UNDERSTAND THAT THE FORCE OPPOSING HOPE IS DESPAIR. THE DESPAIR WE FEEL IS MANUFACTURED. AND WHAT HAS BEEN MANUFACTURED CAN BE TAKEN APART.β
Iβve put a free printable PDF of the below image up on my website (from the comic βGoat and Sheep by the Wellβ). Print it out and staple it to a telephone pole, tape it up on your wall, etc. www.joshuawcotter.com/jwc-comics-a...
A quick pen drawing of Kristi Noem looking like a plastic surgery disaster, wearing an ICE vest, a badge with the SS insignia on it. Text below the drawing reads βThe Dog-Killer of Mar-A-Lagoβ.

A quick pen drawing of Bovino in his official portrait Nazi coat, βSSβ emblem and swastika on his shirt collars. Text below him reads βGrad A American Shitweasel'

Here's a better link to the episode

I wish there was an edit button. So many typos from cold fingers.
Here's a full reading of the book for the curious. Just going to end by saying, once again:
FUCK ICE
FUCK TRUMP
FUCK THE FASCISTS

I was angry when I wrote this book. I'm even more angrier now but I still think what I wrote holds. We need to behave like rats and bedbugs and cockroaches. Infest these imposed systems, chew them up, and make them disgusting and useless. Find community and defend it like your life depends on it.
It was mostly a response to the abhorrent treatment toward the LGBTQ+ and immigrants in general but it warned what everyone always wants about fascists-they don't stop with their scapegoats. They never stop until every ounce of opposition is gone.
I wrote Pest Control in the early days of this administration. It's a 60 page prose poem about embracing the label of vermin in an authoritarian state. I thought I was being slight hyperbolic when I called the Extermination Times. I never thought I undersold it.

I think it's pretty clear at this point that ICE exists only to harm, intimidate, and murder.
Fuck ICE
Fuck the Border Patrol
Awesome! I can't wait! The pictures you put up remind me of your old newsletter.
