Tom Morello's solo music continues to be so bafflingly bad that it makes you entertain the most outlandish, clone-related conspiracy theories. Because how can this possibly be the same guitarist who wrote the "Know Your Enemy" riff?
NEW MUSIC!! “EVERYTHING BURNS” OUT NOW!!! @tmorello. @BEARTOOTHband. Final Fantasy XIV. Everything burns. Link: https://t.co/QLIge9yHrR

The Myspace deathcore revival began as a DIY, hardcore-adjacent resistance to deathcore's lamestream elite. But now, bands like Psycho-Frame and Rev3rent are so popular within deathcore proper that they might become the genre's new elite. My trend report: https://t.co/rKESkTw0sp

Frontline reports from the shoegaze, electro-pop, and deathcore trenches. Plus, nu-gaze both good and terrible, and an interview with the maestro of indie-pop Christmas songs.

Btw I made an official Chasing Sundays IG account. I used to barely use IG for my writing stuff and now half of my readers come from that app. Give it a follow to keep up.

Watched abt half of this show as a depressed 22 year old, freshly graduated, single asf, working in the kitchen of a gourmet hot dog restaurant. And my shitty life was 100x better than this absolute dogshit show. Repulsive television. Gave me millennial cringe-induced PTSD.
