@LizzieNoisdead and I had a blast talking about their new album Halfsies -- and the Nashville Scene very kindly printed it! Make sure you go see Lizzie's first hometown show as a Nashville-ite (Nashvillean?) on the 14th! buff.ly/3ThosO7

Holed up in the acoustic environments provided by Ireland's Slane Castle, Brian Eno would midwife the young post-punk earnestness of U2 into sonic landscapes that propelled them from club mosh pits to stadiums as cathedrals. This is the sound of a band about to explode. #u2

Pay attention to the work "power" is doing here. It is an insight into why much American evangelicalism has slid seamlessly into Christian Nationalism. It also explains blindness to suffering. As David Dark's Concepts of a Plan says, "This is the language of spiritual abuse."

Ugly crying? A gorgeous ode to the fragile beauty of time? A glimpse into the joyous pain of parenting? Yes. Yes and more. @AdeemTheArtist is truly one of the brightest luminaries in country music. I can't wait for their new album. #TransDayOfVisibility open.spotify.com/track/63SVuw15…

“Big music is the chill down your spine and the sudden eruption of gooseflesh. It’s a feeling one usually encounters when young, describing that moment when you hear a song for the first time and it’s so overwhelming you feel like a changed person after it ends.” Hell yes

The catchiest tune ever written about the looming specter of human extinction, Talking Heads “Life During Wartime” anticipates an onset era of white-knuckle anxiety and compulsory escapism woven in a gordian knot of boundless fear, loathing and distraction. A great American song.

My kids don't know it yet, but I'm putting it in my will that this should be played at my funeral. @AdeemTheArtist is an incredible, empathetic songwriter. open.spotify.com/track/47wA9eep…
