A jazz record will do the greatest thing you’ve ever heard for like 12 seconds and never come back to that motif

so david lynch is still an iconic pop culture figure and auteur, still relevant to gen z and still widely watched. and hasn’t had a full budget to shoot a film since 2001. is that correct? is that the cultural landscape we operate in currently?

the whole mentality that gives birth to “top 10” music list is incompatible with my brain. some of my favorite albums are worthless to me on certain days and sometimes i’ll find myself looping an unofficial remix because my mood needs it. art is fundamentally horizontal

grimesgate is really a good illustration of what we see every day: techno futurist type people having this undying faith that the tech will save them and do all the work for them but computers are inherently cringe and frustrating and increasingly dont deliver.

i'm of the mindset that it's more interesting and worthwhile to write about under-the-radar music you love than pretty much most other things in music writing: debating pop stars, saying universally loved past icons actually suck, petty grievances with other writers, etc

whenever cops would stop us on tour in the early days and we’d be a dirty fuckin rock band in a van etc jake (who usually drove) would say to the cop,if they asked of we were a band, “yeah we sound kinda like audioslave” and the cop would always be stoked and we’d escape

american culture is constantly prescribing and categorizing who is a “good person” or a “bad person”. once you notice it you can’t unsee it. they don’t realize most other cultures don’t do this. they don’t realize it’s a juvenile framework custom built for digestion of propaganda
