currently I'm working on making music on my synths just for the sake and joy of it rather than funneling everything towards a release, but I hope to have something new to show off someday soon.

Happy Bandcamp Friday!

Mitski’s Cat Lady Masterpiece Plus: Underground rap's next star, a Ghanaian pop musician blending tradition with the future, and more.

I’ve often wondered if the constant creation of new Mitskis is in part a reaction to fans’ demand for more information; instead she gives them a whole new world to explore each time

credit where dire, we have been calling for NYC to do something in this and they did.

I think it’d be nice to see games drawing on nostalgia that AREN’T focused on white, suburban/small town aesthetics.

Black* people and culture existed in cities in the 80s and 90s, too!

*And other folks from the global majority, obviously. I’m speaking to my own background.

Not as Easy as 1-2-3 Executing the mayor's universal childcare pledge is going to be really hardβ€”plus more stories for your Tuesday.

On Monday, Emmy Liss, the executive director of the Mayor's Office of Child Careβ€”a brand new mayoral positionβ€”was grilled by the NYC Council's Subcommittee for Child Careβ€”a brand new subcommitteeβ€”on how exactly it would deliver universal child care to New Yorkers.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

a nice enough listen but this record is too long for how few new ideas about atmospheric indie and shoegaze it brings to the table. Plus, I listen to Nothing to get hit in the head by walls of distorted guitar and there is not nearly enough of that here
