Here are the baby's reactions to Past Masters 1&2:

I Feel Fine: Liked the beat
Yes It Is: Too emotionally intense
Day Tripper: Enjoyed me explaining how the primacy of the riff prefigured the shift to Rock
Rain: Too avant-garde
Lady Madonna: Dug the piano
Hey Jude: Stopped crying, fell asleep

There are going to be A LOT of misleading, vaguely-worded headlines — particularly from non-music publications — in the near future trying to drum up hysteria about the AI Music Takeover. Please try to not take them at their word. We're still a long way off from this actually being a thing.
I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear:

1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people

2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

My little song rhyming "daddy time" with "not a crime" has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my song.

My MIL, who lives in Arizona, texted asking me not to vote for him because of his connection to the Muslim Brotherhood. This stuff is everywhere.
I really like how Zohran Mamdani has run a campaign that is so focused on making New York City a safe (including from the fascism of our current federal government) and affordable place for all its residents, and I am really appalled by how racist so much of the opposition to his candidacy has been.

hello friends, loved ones, and haters, I wrote a long piece about the last 25 or so years of "indie," inspired by @chrisdeville.bsky.social's fine new book

Made this with a teaspoon of Thai chili flakes subbed for the peppers, and it just may be the world's greatest condiment:

Quick Pickled Chiles and Garlic Recipe
Quick-pickled garlic and chiles are a great condiment for punching up the flavor of Asian soups, noodles, stir-fries, and salads.

This is devastating. And surely a gross miscarriage of justice. Again.

On some level it's rewarding to learn that Donald Trump has the exact same vision of his presidency that I do.

Something you might not expect from the way both movies are talked about is that Sinners and One Battle After Another have grossed almost the exact same amount internationally.

from me -- a profile of Jafar Panahi, a filmmaker whose work has perfectly met our age of surveillance and interrogation and asks the imperative question of: Who are we, and what comes next? IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT = masterpiece, imo.
Since his 2010 imprisonment, the director has been in an endless game of chicken with the Iranian regime. In his defiant new film, ‘It Was Just an Accident,’ a group of Iranians consider killing the man who tortured them in prison.

"The original cut of Annie Hall ran nearly two-and-a-half hours, and according to its editor Ralph Rosenblum was a shapeless mass of bits. "And so we began cutting in the direction of that relationship,” he wrote. Result: 4 Oscars. www.vulture.com/article/the-...

For over five decades, cinema bent itself around her profoundly original image. It had no choice.

It’s the season of the Safdies. One brother’s movie faltered at the box office (‘The Smashing Machine’), and the other’s became the secret screening heard ’round the cinephile world (’Marty Supreme’). Will either win an Oscar?

Despite what you may read online, Manute Bol and Flea were NOT born on the exact same day (Bol's listed birth date was plucked out of thin air by a college coach) and neither were Malcolm X and Pol Pot (they were actually six days apart).

this was very exciting to do: chatting with Kleber about being a student of history, living through historical times, and how all that observation and analysis made it into his excellent latest film, THE SECRET AGENT.
