They haven't started shooting yet, but man do I hate being right.

It's just a matter of days before they start shooting students. Biden is the second coming of LBJ.

#probably worth noting that the nypd in 2024 is more heavily armed and armoured than the national guard of 1970 #the ntl guard were using M14s and wearing M1 helmets with no body armour

Yeah Anarchists are really against literacy and reading. We absolutely hate it.

Fuck off.

I think @transcube tagged me maybe two weeks ago as part of a "five songs I've been listening to on repeat" exercise and I promised I'd get around to doing it because it looked like fun, but man, I have not been listening to a lot of music lately. My stamina has been just shot to hell, and I'm one of those perverts gets off on hardcore critical listening of entire albums while wearing big ass headphones. Instead I'm presenting you with this: the galaxy of songs that I've memorized and have somewhere in my head which start intruding into my consciousness at random intervals. So here's five songs I've had stuck in my head the last little while.

John C. Reilly (as Dewey Cox) — "Guilty as Charged" from, Walk Hard: the Dewey Cox Story (2007)

Walk Hard is my absolute favourite movie to watch with my dad (a professional musician and big time music geek), it's hilarious and there's a reason why they basically stopped making musician biopics for a good ten years after this movie came out, it preempts them all. Part of why it works so well is that the songs are all fucking incredible and stand on their own. This one in particular is just such a perfect pastiche of an early '60s Johnny Cash (in his "Man in Black" persona) tune. And man, who knew that John C. Reilly could sing like that?

The Mekons — "Insignificance (Conversation with Boche)" from Retreat from Memphis (1994)

I frequently find the following lyric stuck in my head, rolling it around in there:

A word slips out in Dallas in 1963 Spawns an industry: Conspiracy Initials ten feet tall just reinforce and underline Insignificance If they can kill, what would they do to me Stumbling into their attention

Great bassline on this one too.

J.C. Satàn — "Endless Fall" from Sick of Love (2010)

There was this really cool punk/garage scene that centered around a few bands in the south of France that started around the turn of the last decade and was mostly spent by 2017ish. Catholic Spray was another one of those bands, but these guys were the best in my estimation. Love this guitar riff.

Unwound — "Demons Sing Love Songs" from Leaves Turn Inside You (2001)

Is it weird to say that of that incredible crop of post-hardcore bands like Fugazi, Slint etc. (I am DEFINITELY not talking about the stuff that called itself "post-hardcore" from the '00s) I might love Unwound the most?

John Coltrane — "Afro Blue" from Live at Birdland (1964)

"Afro Blue" is probably my all-time favourite jazz tune, I taught myself how to sweep pick arpeggios just so I could play the melody line on guitar. It's a really easy tune to improvise over too, you can either play an F-minor blues over the whole progression or get modal and start with an F Dorian and then move into the A-flat/E-flat tonal centers over some of the changes. Anyway, the "head" is always stuck in my head.

No idea who to tag with this one, just assume that if you're a music kind of person and I follow you that I wouldn't mind hearing from you.

This one gets even funnier:

It's honestly impressive just how historically/politically ignorant so many American Zionists are, I mean I guess you'd have to be to continue to support Israel.

I will never understand how a straight boy knows all this obscure gay culture.

Believe me, I'm not sure how it happened either and it confuses the fuck out of all my queer friends. Someone will be trying to show me a Sylvester song, and I have to affirm that yes I know who Sylvester is, I've even got the 1970 demos, have you heard of Patrick Cowley or Smokey? And then they look at me like I'm some kind of space alien.

It's funny too because I have fairly limited mainstream gay culture knowledge but I know all the deep hits, like I know who Leslie Feinberg and Paul Preciado are, I've seen pretty much every Derek Jarman film, and I love stuff like Portrait of Jason or Todo sobre mi madre.

I guess I just think you guys make good art.

My single favourite piece of trivia about this music video is that it was directed by Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson of Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, and Coil. He was a graphic artist by trade, worked for Hipgnosis and was responsible for Peter Gabriel's album covers, and then moved onto commercial film directing. He basically paid for everything Coil did by directing music videos like this, because Coil's music/music videos from the same time period weren't exactly uhhh... commercially viable.

Is this a music video from 1984 explicitly about AIDS? Yes.

#fun fact about the coil video #it was like the first AIDS charity single #also yes that's marc almond of soft cell #Youtube

As usual Don has the best response.

[punisheddonjuan]

No I'm sorry, the funniest Dwarf Fortress bug was the random cat death bug, which wound up being caused by cats getting covered in alcohol from spilled drinks, licking themselves, ingesting the alcohol and then instantly dying of alcohol poisoning.

i hate it when game devs put “fixed several issues” in patch notes 

no. tell me what you fixed. i wanna know what the glitch was.

you know those patch notes that are like “fixed an issue where if the player sat in a bush for too long, they’d become the size of a skyscraper” 

i wanna read those. tell me those.

You deserve to have things stolen from you because you're a bad person.

[punisheddonjuan]

God and amazon makes it a pain in the ass reporting something stolen, I had to claim the box was empty. It's all some stupid AI assistant. I should get a refund.

Fucking kidding me, I ordered a foot stool as an accessibility aid and they delivered it to the upstairs neighbour and now it's missing. Fucking hell.

Visual record of how absolutely shit I've been feeling lately.

[punisheddonjuan]

I need all of these. The ol' housecoat just ain't cutting it no more.

Also I used to have a cigarette case just like that. Pretty sure it's around here somewhere.

Imagine posting this thinking you come off well.
