Mdou Moctar, Myriam Gendron, and Amen Dunes make for a pretty beautiful new-release trifecta day.

Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, MN, where Steve recorded Nirvana, PJ Harvey, and Palace's 'Arise Therefore.' Man, we had fun there.

Why isn't this bigger news? Why are there hundreds of millions in unpaid songwriter royalties at the Music Licensing Collective? In 2021 the US Copyright Office became responsible for songwriter streaming royalties. They hired the MLC to collect and pay. Maybe we should…

When you can't actually innovate or add value do what all parasitic entities do: Exploit loopholes.

Review: Myriam Gendron’s art...harbours a wealth of emotional and aesthetic complexities which, when taken together, form a wholly unique sound. Mayday is the most moving and persuasive example of that sound to date. klofmag.com/2024/05/myriam…

beyond the music, albini's death is reminding me of growing up a weirdo in a small town, finding bread crumbs of inspiration to other paths, slowly figuring shit out, making your own small scene, and wandering around ecstatic and full of life with friends.

Another good line: No one can predict the destructive power of volcanoes.

Albini will be remembered for his reliably questioning arbitrary industry 'standards', his generosity in freely sharing his techniques and insights, his modeling of expansive empathy & critical self-relection, and innumerable beautiful records. Sending love to all who knew him.

My mobile is running out of power..

we are fleeing homes and shelters under heavy #Israeli_bombing ..

We don’t know where to go..

If you don’t see my posts again, don’t forget me!

RIP Steve Albini, whose piece “The Problem With Music” (1993) still rings true in 2024.

Anyone have any arugula recipes? We planted a ton kind of as a cover crop and now we have too much.

RIP Steve Albini
