guitarist. clitorist

[Andy Cush @cushac]

On occasion of the Drukqs reissue, I wrote about parallel histories of electronic music, the lineage of dance music that isn't for dancing, an artwork in rebellion against its own medium, a wild core principle of psychoacoustics, and the college major I enrolled in by accident

[Andy Cush @cushac]

I wrote about Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 and the twilight of freakdom

[Andy Cush @cushac]

Especially since the publication of 'Mood Machine,' there's a growing sense among underground musicians that we don't have to simply accept our own exploitation by streaming.

I wrote about the artists who are dropping out and imagining a future beyond it

to play the guitar like a guy is to timorously approach the fretboard, on soft finger pads, as if one might offend its intricate frailty with a misstep— to, if you will, by fear of rough gesture, “m’lady” the instrument out of its ability to fucking rock. this is endemic & tragic

I am so pleased to be publishing this absolute knockout essay from @sadiesargar today. just read it! https://t.co/6BtjqQL9Rf

[Andy Cush @cushac]

of everything we've published at Hearing Things so far, I might be most proud of this interview with Diran Mardirian, owner of Beirut's beloved Chico Records, about running a record shop while his city is under siege. great work by @ExhumingC

I had a fucking blast talking to Tucker Zimmerman about songwriting, serialism, LSD, the Grateful Dead, Ed Sheeran, and 'Dance of Love,' his beautiful new album with Big Thief. The guy is a true original. Lenker and Meek were nice enough to chat w/ me too. https://t.co/1KCEkngv9M

i could have a clean house but unfortunately i’m busy making my joanna newsom guitar transcriptions immaculate :/

[Andy Cush @cushac]

my first big piece for the site uses a leaked congressional email full of Taylor Swift puns to look at the deeply fucked state of concert ticketing, and the people who are invested in keeping it that way https://t.co/zCVCZf06L3

Hearing Things is a new independent music publication founded by Ryan Dombal, Julianne Escobedo Shepherd, Dylan Green, and me. Here’s a bit of what we’ve been working on:

what if he proposed at metrograph’s marathon screening of scenes from a marriage (1973) 👉👈

[katy the kyng @katythekyng]

searching reddit “worst songs ever” list-threads for an edgy assignment for my songwriting class, wading through ed sheeran and meghan trainor predictables, feeling my heart drop like a stone and furiously downvoting a two-year-old comment bashing “my pal foot foot” by the shaggs

[katy the kyng @katythekyng]

put on a podcast about otis redding to fall asleep to, woke up at 3 am to the next episode playing webern at top volume, thought i was being exorcised and dreamt of fire, 10/10 experience

[katy the kyng @katythekyng]

put on a playlist of bruce springsteen’s whole chronological discography to drive down to his concert this weekend (!) and the last track of nebraska transitioned into “born in the usa” as the nj turnpike switched from cars only to trucks allowed … a real cool rockin’ daddy move

[Dionne Warwick @dionnewarwick]

Doing all that yelling and lying.

[katy the kyng @katythekyng]

rewarding myself every time i add a bullet point to my resume with 1/10 of an episode of love island

[katy the kyng @katythekyng]

getting high with my boyfriend and watching modern times. perfect saturday night

[katy the kyng @katythekyng]

making my radio interview debut in 10 minutes on @ClayPigeonWFMU show at 7:48 am EST, tune in sleepyheads 😴😎

[Mash Gang @gang_mash]

The new album by @katythekyng is one of my favourites of the year, landing somewhere between antifolk, free jazz and some Xiu Xiu experimental noise

Wasn't expecting to stumble on something this brilliant while cleaning the kitchen, but all I do is win?
