I now have a regular column in @thefader that’s solely devoted to new music and whatever angry and off-putting jeremiad I can use as a framing device for said music. The column is called “Abundant Living.” It’s fun! Please check it out. ?

Generational differences between millenials and boomers are like the moon landing

In the first installment of Zachary Lipez's column Abundant Living: gesture-towards-the-abyss pop, Taylor Swift, and a bunch of very angry new music.

lol Jesus god don’t do free advertising for streaming platforms. If it’s important to you, just write down and post the ten artists you played the most this year. What the hell is wrong with you maniacs.

God I miss when "nerd" at least implied "smart" instead of "perpetual fucking child."

It’s been one year since my dad died. I know the etiquette is “he wouldn’t want us to be sad,” but fuck that. My dad knew his own worth. He’d want us weeping, tearing at our garments, and cursing fate. Stoically, but still. So, in honor of my dad: plz have an incredibly sad day.

Metal ain't apolitical because nothing public is. You live in a system, nerds.

Good strategy. AI won’t kill you if you can convince it you’re an app yourself.

why the fuck are you people, my dear and brilliant friends and followers, retweeting this like it’s not inane, politics-as-Stan-culture, and indicative of a grotesque nihilism

Well it took 25 years of living in NYC, but I finally spotted a 3rd trimester pregnant lady using a magic marker to write her tag on an L train door.

Do you think mitski deleted that thread because ten fans were being weirdos or because ten thousand Professional Mitski Defenders were taking screenshots, writing Rolling Stone pieces, and jumping all over ten weirdos who felt entitled to photograph alt rock. 🙂

As threatened, 4,000+ words on pop-punk, early aughts America, sentimentality, nostalgia, genre limitations, dead loved ones, the sexy sexy lies we tell ourselves, and… Gaslight Anthem’s The ‘59 Sound!

To be absolutely, 100% clear, not a single teenager is mad at Courtney Love. They don’t care as they have drugs/hentai. This is all 26-32 y/o sociopaths. i.e. Her People. This is just ritualistic sin eating to honor Hecate. Rejoice, friends. We are in for a bountiful harvest.

I talked to and wrote about Armand Hammer & The Alchemist for The Washington Post.

Armand Hammer adds the Alchemist to make for an even more intriguing brand of underground rap

On “Haram,” the duo of Elucid and Billy Woods stay true to themselves while expanding their sonic palette.
