- Someone needs to do something about Biden!
- Sticky Fingers is easily the best Stones album, yet Some Girls is my favorite. Curious.

- People thinking Labi Siffre's 'Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying' is a Peach Pit song, it feels almost like stolen valor to me. Not PP's fault, I know The simplest elegant mesmerizing arrangement, perfectly structured short story. Even has a twist at the end that makes you listen again in a new way.

- 'Taxes' isn't even in the top 5 songs on 'Getting Killed', Pitchfork! SMDH Not sure they listened to the album.
- Harry Potter was never any good. That anyone above the age of 12 read those books is still shocking to me. The movies were a lot of great talent doing their best in service of mediocrity. A long way of saying I support the trans community and a certain billionaire children's author can F off.
- Had a dim recollection of a song I loved 12 years ago. All I could remember was they were from the Netherlands. I found it. Enjoy. youtu.be/CfhMdBez4b4
- I am from the original Star Wars generation, even held my nose + tolerated the prequels, but all the ill conceived (non-Andor) series have decimated the brand. It seems to be the work of one man. Impressive in its way. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
- Anyone going through a breakup? I found a great song! Enjoy! youtu.be/MpV8KMZtnQ4
- It's fun to have a new favorite band. It's been awhile. Not trying to preach anymore, though, not trying to convert, just quietly shaking my head in disbelief at non-believers. Sure, go enjoy your inferior rock and roll music. Godspeed.

- My 2025 band of the year is.... Are you kidding me?!? Clean sweep! ... Geese! A big year for Geese.
- My 2025 album of the year is... No surprise here and well deserved!... 'Getting Killed' by Geese. A big year for Geese. Here's looking forward to 2026.
- My 2025 song of the year is... 'Au Pays du Cocaine' by Geese. Well deserved! Congratulations to Geese!
- All the gigs I went to this year: Nick Lowe Courtney Barnett Maya Ongaku Minami Deutsch Memorials Shintaro Sakamoto Geese All brilliant. Day 2 of Woodsist also brilliant but that's a festival as compared to a gig. Levon Rambles as well but that's more of a hootenanny. Happy new year to all.

- On the last night of SXSW the Dung Beatles used to play, maybe they still do. A feces-themed Fab 4 cover band playing hits like 'It's Only Dung', 'She Loves Poo' and the classic 'Felch!' What made me remember that?

- One other person there. So close. Lanthimos is not a horror director but he keeps you on edge constantly. The levels of unease crossed with the absurdity. Like the final scene of 'The Lobster'. The way he sets up the 2 antagonists in Bugonia, it filled this guy with dread. Anything could happen.

- Going to a 1:30 screening of Bugonia. Hoping for that rare 'only person in the theater' experience.

- Geese's live version of 'Domoto' really showcases Cameron Winter's songcraft. The way the melody + chords move, the singing, the closest comparison I can think of is 'Court And Spark'. To be able to do that and then effortlessly seamlessly move into grooving like the Stones in 1969, boggles my mind
- Geese tonight in a little 250 cap room. Been to many shows that were legendary only after the fact, didn't know it at the time, like Nirvana opening for Sonic Youth, White Stripes playing to 100 people. Forcing the kid to go as a sort of musical history lesson. Geese. Great stuff.
- Democrats 'clawed back' ground with Hispanics, with just a little help from a GOP that is openly trying to disappear all Hispanics off the street. If mainstream Dems are trying to claw back to something, it is a center-right status quo where corporations rule (ideally, hopefully, 🤞) benevolently.

- Attacking and arresting priests to send a message of some sort? But what is that message?
- I'd say a solid 90% of GOP couldn't hammer an anchor onto a rail. They don't even know what an anchor has to do with a railroad track. They will never know the honor of hard brutal work, of puking on the side of the track, in the full knives out spring of a hangover. The Canadian way.
- Us liberal men, we spent summers in college working on steel gangs, learning how to swing a hammer and spike maul. True story. These GOP dudes here. Using their Holly Hobbie tool sets. I can only shake my head, disappointed, full of pity for the father that must hide his shame.
- Who is part of this conversation about leaving NYC? Any real people? Is it news every time a rich dude says he's taking his ball and going home (but doesn't have the fierce dignity of a child that would make him actually follow through with it) ?
- Geese 'Getting Killed'. Best rock and roll album since 'OK Computer' or maybe Animal Collective 'Feels'. That's just how I feel.
- Reposted by AC Newmanit's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax
- Reposted by AC NewmanAt the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.
- Reposted by AC NewmanAs all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

- My life here in America feels like a long game of Jenga. If there was an end move in Jenga where you realize you've got no move so you leave for Canada.
