Fred Armisen is the most organically funny person I know and hanging out with him is a joy. I like being on Vish Khanna's podcast regardless, but doing it with Fred was a special pleasure. Shout outs to https://t.co/EbosYbdba9

Posting one last time to share info about the Letters to Santa benefit show with John Mulaney Dec 5.

Letters to Santa is the best thing I ever get to do and this show is how it raises funds, 100% of which go directly to poor families. https://t.co/EbosYbdba9

There's also an LA show for Letters to Santa, and they're going old school with the 24-hour marathon December 16-17. https://t.co/EbosYbdba9

Fuck this. I come here to read jokes, end capitalism and shit on Steely Dan, not be a captive audience for Fuckhead Bigot U. I'm about through, find me on bluey.

Biden's approval rating is 37%, a record low, one year from election. If those who claim to be concerned about Trump winning would switch their energies from shaming fellow Democrats to pressuring the party to propose a viable candidate, we may still be able to avoid Trump.

@dubsak @sooperrecords My rule of thumb is to not give a shit how somebody is playing it back. I'm making a master tape, we're hearing it now, then it'll be in the box on a shelf for the next 200 years. That's all I care about. If we're lucky somebody will release it, really lucky somebody will listen.

[regular steve albini @electricalWSOP]

@decmusicology @sooperrecords Technically yes but that's a trivial distinction. The resolution topping out at 16 bits is likely why they don't sound good. Lower-level signals are resolved relatively poorly so quiet masters tend to suffer. My complaints with CD sound were never about the high frequencies.

[regular steve albini @electricalWSOP]

@EricJRacy @sooperrecords I don't have a particular beef with CDs, they were convenient for their day, whatever. Just defending vinyl as a playback format rather than a novelty. It's survived as the format of choice for creating a collection because it is durable and can sound very good. Not for cuteness.

[regular steve albini @electricalWSOP]

@EricJRacy @sooperrecords Respectfully, barring subsonics, frequency response and dynamics can absolutely be matched by well-made records, and THD is mostly limited by downstream equipment. Subjectively, I've never heard CD playback that convincingly reminded me of studio playback, but have with vinyl.

Hey I had a terrible idea so instead of not doing it, I did it. Yes, it's dog shit, but I used a computer. I'm going to do a funny picture of Hitler baking cookies next.

The White House just compared “anti-Israel protesters” — the phrase used by the Fox News reporter in his question — to the white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville.
