Here is proof that even the most bird-brained internet takes can lead you to incredible places full of wonder and intrigue. A few weeks ago, there was an indie romance author who wondered aloud to her (presumably ascetic + bookish) audience on on Twitter whether it was morally correct to write
Had a treat in the mailbag today. By "mailbag" I mean my instagram DMs, and by a "treat" I mean a link to some new tunes from the band Fierce Invalids: tw i ste d / h ard li nes, by Fierce Invalids2 track albumFierce InvalidsBandcamp New
Ilithios are simply awesome. I interviewed them backstage at the kickass Brooklyn venue Our Wicked for The Alt a year ago and have been anticipating new recordings from them ever since (apparently their second album is nearly wrapped!).

Welcome to a new edition of Music Moots™, the 'content series' where I ask people I know, either from IRL or URL, to tell me a song they've been bumping lately, and then I listen to the song, and then I write a little about it.

The first time I ever really engaged with Travis Scott was when I watched his 2019 Netflix documentary, Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly. What made the biggest impression on me were the interviews with his fans. One by one, they breathlessly profess their devotion to Travis, a devotion
I wrote for the AntiArt substack a while ago about my obsession with CVS Bangers — you know, shiny pop-rock tunes of the late 1990s and early 2000s that sound right at home whether wafting through the Allergy & Pain Relief pharmacy aisle or running behind the closing credits of romantic
Oh goodie, a rock show to attend! My first time at Los Angeles's fine Moroccan Lounge was for a stacked bill of the punk rock persuasion. Accompanied by husband Chris and new friends James and Cat, I was ready to rock — respectfully. First up: Kuromy, a three-piece band
