If we’re going to nationally mourn cultural figures then the flags should be at half mast for someone like Robert Redford, someone who had a positive impact on environmental issues in this country. not for the popular hate mongers of the day

Can you at least stop shrugging ? I think many people have been duped into many many things. But if you’re insinuating that it’s ok to bomb tens of thousands of Palestinian children, you’re no Boss, you’re just a monster

But really is Gracie Abram’s an A.I .composite of Swift and Bridgers? Is the problem that people just rip people off or is the problem that people are too easy to rip off ? I’m not saying Abram’s is bad , she’s… perfect, just saying it’s weird

I released 2 Black Pus albums in ‘24 from the same 10 day session. One was layered, worked into & edited with more care blackpus.bandcamp.com/album/terres... . the other was barely edited culled from daily live improvs blackpus.bandcamp.com/album/improv... . I think the jam one is more successful

top garbage distributor f’ing Tucker Carlson is arriving at the notion that Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians is immoral. Meanwhile many democrats are still “mulling it over” for example Bernie’s bill to stop arms distribution to Israel only got 27 votes in the senate. For fucks sake

after creating this political party I would quietly neither join nor endorse it, but use it strictly as a vehicle to make as much money for myself as possible even if it took our country to the brink of disaster or beyond, in the longstanding American capitalist consumer tradition

What do I know , I only listened to every true grunge early cassette as they came out in the late 80s and 90s. But it’s true. I abandoned the ship as it got commercial so i have no idea how long it sailed or to where after that

my week took a turn for the worse after i heard a deep voice guy song in a gym, googled who it was, and then uttered a name … Creed

My plan is to discuss grunge daily from here on out. Thinking of starting a political party based on its principles called the Flannel Parity Party
GEEZERS BUTLER (@chirpendale.bsky.social)
maybe I’ve heard 2 Creed songs but it sounds like the vocal child of Pearl Jam, already a grunge light band compared to a Mudhoney or Tad . But that scene seems to have started with harsh vocals, harsh guitars to slowly mutate into deep voiced emotive man rock, I don’t know where the genre border is
GEEZERS BUTLER (@chirpendale.bsky.social) reply parent
One of my favorites
GEEZERS BUTLER (@chirpendale.bsky.social)
People have informed me that Creed is not grunge though the sliver I have heard sounds like Pearl Jam’s republican uncle but what really is grunge? I love Nirvana to no end & I had my Screaming Trees & L7 cassettes but I kind of think grunge is just a codeword for Mudhoney & Mudhoney alone

When I was young the difference between Nirvana & say Creed was that Nirvana ruled & Creed sucked. But it goes much deeper than that. Nirvana was aggressive but w/ an unwieldy, imperfect beauty. Creed is content, satisfied, seeking nothing. This battle within grunge was progressivism vs conservatism
