It definitely feels a lot weird to say I enjoyed Launder and Swirlies on election night. I mean, I did, but everyone was checking the results and that definitely put a pall over things. It was a good show and everyone seemed committed to carrying on. I have to remind myself regularly that it's ok to still enjoy things but to also actively resist being caught by the skeletal hand of apathy.

Launder and Swirlies were good last night. I'm going to see them again in Seattle tonight just to make sure.

I just discovered that, back in 2010, I wrote the immortal line "It's tough to say 'Richard Nixon' with a mouthful of toilet water."

(In that moment I was digressing from a discussion about the sexual politics of head-in-the-toilet porn scenes to make an aside about safe words.)

SWIRLIES
Blonder Tongue Audio Baton
2022 U.S. Ltd. Edition reissue
White vinyl

A special delivery today from Mr. Postman and the good people over at Taang! Records.

My favorite noise rock album from my youth, and a record I haven’t sat down with in a very long time. Glad to finally own it on vinyl.
There are available on the Taang! website, so don’t pay the ridiculous prices people are asking for on Discogs or EBay. Don’t encourage that shit.

I feel sure that I used to have #swirlies albums somewhere, and have a definite recollection that “Blonder Tongue Audio Baton” was pretty great.
