I'm spending my time on Facebook doing music and movie news, as well as lots of interviews. Stop by, leave a comment, or just loiter. https://t.co/Z6TA350APf

Republicans screamed “fake voters” for years. Turns out the only fakes were their own operatives scribbling bogus elector papers for Trump. And the courts keep letting them skate.

SCOTUS says ICE can treat Spanish speakers & brown workers as “suspicious.” Rights shredded, deportations prioritized. America First now looks like “papers, please.”

Trump’s crew put a #MAGA dancer in charge at Kennedy Center. Result: Stuttgart Ballet 4–19% sold, BodyTraffic 12%, subs halved, Alvin Ailey gone. Trump in, audiences out.

$SNES: The Tiny Company Tackling a Billion-Dollar Problem Introduction @SenesTech ($SNES) is tackling one of the world’s most persistent problems: rodent infestations. From major cities to farms across rural America, rats cause billions in annual losses by damaging crops,

Trump’s “Medicaid reform” guts $900B, starting with kids’ hospitals. Phoenix Children’s says it’ll lose $172M a year—clinics, mental health staff, abuse screenings gone. But sure, call it “fraud.”

#DonaldTrump says the Epstein birthday doodle isn’t his. The internet: here’s 30 years of signatures that look exactly the same.

BLS just yanked a million jobs off the scoreboard. Biggest revision ever, weeks after Trump axed the BLS chief. Markets don’t care, but politically? This labor market looks more like one of his casinos. #Jobs #Fed

From 2014: Tennis on Ritual in Repeat—Nashville routines, pop hooks for days, and a producer trifecta (Carney, Eno, Swift). “We were finally writing with purpose.” Dreamy with a David Lynch wink. https://t.co/gwu7sC2bQH

Shot in 2015 while my house was flooding: my chat with #HissGoldenMessenger’s M.C. Taylor on Lateness of Dancers, dodging trends, and dad wisdom. “All of us are faking it—just try to do good work.” https://t.co/Hef3NIix6N

Chatted with #BrokenSocialScene’s Kevin Drew on Hug of Thunder: kitchen-born anthems, “Skyline” as mantra-pop, and showing up when the world tilts—Paris to a heavy Manchester with Johnny Marr. “Make it about friendship; you’ll find the song.” https://t.co/WhET9lzYa4

Chatted with #KelseyAsbille & #FinnWittrock about Don’t Move: shot in Bulgaria, plays in real time, and hurts on purpose. Kelsey learned paralysis from an anesthesiologist; Finn plays a “helpful” monster. Sam Raimi showed up with woods wisdom. https://t.co/xUYp1dMO4c

Tonight I’ll be hanging with Chrissie Hynde of Pretenders, and actors Matilda de Angelis and Jan Luis Castellanos! On the stereo: Van Morrison, The Cranberries, Pearl Jam, The Grays, Slaid Cleaves, new Mitch Rowland, and whatever else I feel like sneaking in. 6p ET on @WFPK

Troy Sanders told me Leviathan “could’ve killed our band if it didn’t work out.” Instead, it launched Mastodon from dive bars to concept albums about Moby-Dick and Rasputin. We talked anniversaries, risks, comedy mugs, and why art should be selfish. https://t.co/ruix7y6vBh

Aimee Mann told me her last record was called Mental Illness “so this is kind of my wheelhouse.” Queens of the Summer Hotel grew from Girl, Interrupted into one of her most haunting records—sad, gorgeous, and weirdly fun. https://t.co/IccvUOVEki

#JRoddyWalston on the Essential Tremors era: “People kept expecting us to quit… we wouldn’t.” Timing, a label switch, “Sweat Shock” (and a little Zeppelin shade), plus choosing “habits” over politics. Stubborn, loud, song-first. https://t.co/T5BWbGHN5H

Dug back into my Hell-On talk with #NekoCase: “The dirt stain doesn’t get to be on my record.” History nerdery, “Halls of Sarah,” a mood-soaked turn with Mark Lanegan, and a rare A.C. Newman co-write. https://t.co/8FLTTr6jP2

Dang it.

On tonight’s show, I’ve got Gracie Abrams, Yellowstone’s Kelsey Asbille, and Mastodon’s Troy Sanders! Tunes from Dusty Springfield, The Chicks, REM, Beck, Dead Weather, new Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and the Emily in Paris theme. Don’t pretend you don’t know it. 6p ET on @WFPK

American Love Call played it both ways: strings and heavy drums, heartbreak that doubles as protest. “It’s a weird time of both hope and despair,” Aaron said. Durand’s dream? “An MC sampling our stuff.” Either a love song or a political one. Both. https://t.co/XBRJHY9HnX

Atmosphere's Slug on longevity and work ethic: “I call it a job so I remember I can get fired from it.” Also: “From now on, every record is the seventh.” Lego-dad wisdom and aging in #HipHop. https://t.co/1odCtGr8PW

Hannah Joy said she wrote “Mistake” after watching old ’90s TV, talking back to her teenage self. That’s how #MiddleKids ended up with one of 2018’s best singles. https://t.co/qV1JUjb2dx

“Trump is more like a member of GWAR than almost any human,” Blöthar told me. From climate collapse to killing presidents onstage, we talked The Blood of Gods, entrail prophecies, and why Halloween is just another Tuesday. https://t.co/txvPNcaIKD
