Channing Tatum doesn’t really have the face of someone who’s heard of John Zorn. The real Jeffrey Manchester, on the other hand…

a poll idea that just popped into my head: since we've collectively been doing 90's nostalgia for awhile as a culture, what's your secret/stealth best 90's album? not something necessarily widely super critically beloved but is nonetheless great and defining for you?

Me watching Roofman and hearing Jeffrey Manchester use the alias John Zorn (and yeah, I was the only person in the theater who laughed)

My church is pretty good about this. I particularly appreciate the candlelight Blue Christmas service we hold a few days before the holiday each year.

This makes a lot more sense when you realize that the “kids” are actually JD’s peers and pals

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

GBV already has multiple Suitcase box sets, so maybe the next logical step is Pallet. Make those completists really beg for mercy.

I learned about your work and checked your Kent State book out of the library (and just ordered the new paperback edition) thanks to someone else’s Bluesky post, so there’s that!

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

Lynn Becker @cmgiulini.bsky.social · 4d

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

BACKBEATS is out one month from today and it’s a real book! One that Kirkus says is great! johnlingan.com to preorder.

BACKBEATS
A HISTORY of
ROCK AND ROLL' in FIFTEEN DRUMMERS
JOHN LINGAN

A two-page spread of photos featuring the Rollibg Stones, Earl Palmer, and more.

"Fascinating reading...Loud but often overlooked, drummers get their due in this entertaining survey...Lingan does a terrific job explaining the technical aspects of drumming to a lay audience; this book is accessible to any rock fan, even ones who don't know the difference between a snare and a tom."

Personal, and in a way that also deepened my understanding of the album he was writing about. Would have loved to read a whole book of his review-essays 😢

I visited the Octagon Earthworks several years ago, and boy was it a bad vibe to see such a spectacular achievement being used as a golf course

The world celebrated Ohio's most important cultural site. Like so much else, that's controversial • Ohio Capital Journal

Ancient earthworks in Newark, Ohio, were made a World Heritage site. Some celebrated, but for others it was a source of cultural conflict.
