“Montreal’s The Besnard Lakes build their widescreen brand of space-rock from the ground up, patiently layering guitars, keyboards, bass and drums into towering edifices of sound,” writes Tim Clarke. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7973146... @nicemanwashing.bsky.social

We were planning to leave after FF because Dead Moon was playing at the Iron Horse but the Wilco set was too good.

“Prewn’s Izzy Hagerup follows up to 2023’s Through the Window with a noisy, powerful slice of feedback-addled rock, a primal wail that sits alongside howling classics like PJ Harvey’s To Bring You My Love,” writes Jennifer Kelly. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7973033... @eisrecords.bsky.social

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

I’m convinced that my dad, at full mental strength under current dreadful circumstances, would be in jail by now. He knew his Constitution.
