Disiniblud “built a garden full of twinkling guitars and gossamer voices, shadowy caves and blinding light. The air is warm here, and the door is open.” 🙏 🐲@djshrimpchips @pitchfork

Pan Zhanle mentioned the unreasonable behavior of Alex from the United States and Chalmers from the Australian team in the post-match interview. Pan Zhanle simply ignored Chalmers' greeting, and Alex deliberately splashed water on the coaches in China during training.#Paris2024

@GoodWillsmith Someone needs to give this man a little diary with a lock on it

Jessie Ware doing Cher “Believe” 😭

[kara jackson - debut album gyal @fridahalo]

even musicians ik who mask regularly and complain about how touring subjects is to so much sickness, don’t ask people to mask. it feels so dystopian watching us all announce tours when this shit is not sustainable at all 😪

[kara jackson - debut album gyal @fridahalo]

wanting to protect myself and the audience from yet another infection. i wish denial didn’t run so deep in my industry. like… we sing! a respiratory virus makes our jobs literally harder and for some people they can’t even tour anymore bc of illness.

This is vile.

First Pitchfork review in the aftermath of the mass gutting. Thanks for letting me write this one, @jeremydlarson.

On Ariel Kalma, Jeremiah Chiu, and Marta Sofia Honer’s ‘The Closest Thing to Silence’:

[Pitchfork @pitchfork]

The trio’s debut incorporates strands of new age, ambient, electronic, and jazz

This article is an interesting overview but is confusing. One named source. The diversification of pitchfork started in 2018? “Pitchfork still was outraged when…” Would someone write “Newsweek was outraged when…” It’s not bad but it feels like a good pitch for a longer piece.

For tonight’s @semafor media newsletter, I wrote about how Conde’s acquisition of Pitchfork went wrong

@clairerousay If you like speakeasies, Volstead’s Emporium is fancy date vibes

Gai Noi is good food and atmosphere

Prince used to stop in at the Electric Fetus, if you haven’t already been. And at Bunkers (music bar) and The Dakota (jazz club)

@beepboopsloane @clairerousay Hai Hai is not Hmong! Hai Hai says it’s Viet, but it is over-salty, gentrified boo boo yuck. Idk about the other places, but Hai Hai? More like Why Why.

@whatscharlotte @clairerousay Lu’s banh mi are fine, but if you can make it to the burbs (Roseville or Brooklyn Park), my Viet friends all love Mi-Sant 🤌

In Frogtown (neighborhood of St. Paul), there are also a lot of good SE Asian eateries. If you like pastries, Marc Heu is pricey but well loved.
