maynard keenan working at microsoft in 2010 pulling the big lever that turns off original xbox live be like:

not to pull your halo down,

for fans of Reckoning and Lifes Rich Pageant

Shout out to the good people of the great state of Ohio, and their ability to light a river on fire in defiance of God and science.

*shifts ur statues for harboring ghosts*

Thanks again!! 🙏

It was very fun to guest on this -- this was such a uniquely difficult, extremely VH1 circa 2004 album to parse, and I loved going through why

also the fact that it existed at the same time as american apparel and a mere month before Movement By LCD Soundsystem was released blows my mind

R.E.M. - Around The Sun (ft. DV-i) | The Silent Discographer We dive into R.E.M.'s 13th studio LP, Around The Sun, with special guest Valerie, aka DV-i!

Take another trip AROUND THE SUN with us and special guest @dvi-socialmode.bsky.social as we unpack the identity crisis of R.E.M.'s weird 13th LP, art & cultural response in the wake of another invasion of Iraq, and how Y2K revivalism formed and categorized across digital borders in the late 2010s.

train are the worst band in human history right like it’s not close

I have this BBC set and it's extremely good

Schedule update! We've had to push back our Accelerate recording because life happens, and Around The Sun is the only one I've got left in the bank, so I'm gonna postpone the release of that episode by a week as well since we're accidentally on an every-3-weeks pace anyway this season lol.

I like the acoustic ver too. After we wrap R.E.M. on silent discog, Adam and I (and Andre if he wants) are gonna go back and cover that and the last Slowdive record to get caught up.

I'm on my Bob Mould shit I hope that's okay

Accelerate to make it slow bf

HELL YES LETS GO

IT'S ONLY WHEN YOUR POISON SPINS INTO THE LIFE YOU HOPED TO LIVE THAT SUDDENLY YOU WAKE UP IN A SHAKEN PANIC

WOW

My actual answer is Supernatural Superserious off of Accelerate but it doesn’t sound like any Mega Man songs unless the Protomen did a thing about Mega Man having his queer awakening at summer camp

My brain knows there is no way that the Mega Man composer heard an early REM song that was then only available on bootlegs and thought “I am going to make an all-time banger that sounds exactly like this” but my heart wants to believe.

thats him in the corner, that`s him in the spotlight

Plenty of things suck now but a source of light for me these days is that @elmore.zone, @brend.bsky.social, @dcarena.bsky.social and I have been back at it casting pod about racing games on a regular basis and we're finally ready to share the goods

@pizzadinosaur.fineti.me you're gonna love this one bud

The good folks over at The Silent Discographer brought me on to talk about the criminally-overlooked R.E.M. album Reveal! Give it a listen (the album and the podcast)!

🎶Come on, come on, no one can see you try🎶

Fly to carry each his burden
