Please check out my review of @mogwaiband’s new LP - The Bad Fire. A work of true duality. So very pained but also so very fucking gorgeous. I feel lucky to be given such an intimate glimpse of their struggles: https://t.co/66weymzRxB #mogwaiband #NewMusic2025 #newalbum

a truly wonderful way to end an era! Thank you. A terrific conversation that I shared with my niece the minute I finished it. 🙏🏼❤️☮️

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @MarcMaron in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode.

We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America. I’ll miss Marc’s voice, but I hope his legacy of deep conversation and connection will continue.

In the ominous, ugly-splintered context of what is happening in Amerika a lot of people are beginning to understand that to be a freak is an honorable way to go.

Please check out my review of @mogwaiband’s latest LP - The Bad Fire. Such an unfortunately gorgeous record. I say unfortunately because, reportedly, the album is about some difficult times for the band. https://t.co/66weymzRxB #mogwaiband #mogwai #NewMusicFriday #newmusic

Surprise Nirvana reunion at FireAid with St. Vincent singing "Breed"

[Michael Mercer @MikeMercer]

FANTASTIC review btw! I remember I used to envy all your prose on music & reading this felt like old times but also very present. After I finished (always wait to read yours after I finish or else you fuckers will influence my words;) I was definitely jealous again you bastids:)

[Pitchfork @pitchfork]

On Mogwai's 11th album, the long-running post-rockers open up disarming, uplifting new dimensions to their sound without veering too far from familiar territory

LOVE IT. Privileged to be on the ride with you guys since Young Team - and I’m honored to hear such an intimate looking glass into your struggles. Reviewed at @PFOaudioarts if you care to look but I understand if not (a fan first, fyi - I know you don’t do this for the critics)

I’m late for #KevinSmithAppreciationDay - but I wanted to say, being lucky to meet @ThatKevinSmith & do some custom audio/video work for him (as a fan) I felt called to say how humble, supportive, & encouraging he was. Hoping to see him @SmodCinemas! 🙏🏼❤️🤟🏼

[Matt Jarbo @mjarbo]

Today is #kevinsmithapprectionday and my contribution is this SDCC clip where @ThatKevinSmith battled a heckler in Hall H.

Still the coolest thing I've filmed lol

[Michael Mercer @MikeMercer]

He just wants to make sure the cost of his Big Macs doesn’t increase too much
