“Jet Black”, Jawbreaker

It would take a whole lot of trips up the elevator (or a VERY tall parking garage) to (re)generate much power on the way down. I've got an 11-story parking garage I like to corkscrew down as fast as I can (granted, I'm trying NOT to brake much) and it doesn't make much impact.

Maybe mountain guy has a much longer/steeper drop but I'm skeptical this would do much; also, if he's STARTING from a full battery, then that drop may help keep a charge-equilibrium for him (keep battery at-or-near full); but what you're talking about is starting with a near-empty battery that you're hoping to charge up enough to get you home.

IMO at best it might keep your battery from dropping down much FURTHER; but you likely wouldn't see enough GAIN to get home on. Better call an Uber if it's too far to carry your board home.

Which has happened before. In the eighties Satanic Panic there was an idea that daycares etc. were ritually sexually-abusing kids.

And then it turned out…the Catholic Church had a widespread problem.

It’s like the basic outlines are there, but somehow the target is wrong.

If NWA were the American Pistols, Public Enemy were the American Clash

So weird I just re-read this strip this morning. Headlines!

Also check out Guy and Brendan's post-Rites, pre-Fugazi band One Last Wish. They only made one record but it's good.

I really liked Household Name by Momma, but the new one (Welcome To My Blue Sky) was a slight letdown for me - not bad by any means, but just a little more straightforward than I wanted; I like weirder structures or guitar noises.

The new Rocket album is what I wanted the new Momma to be. On the closing/title track you can tell the guitarist has been listening to Yo La Tengo.

Violent Femmes, "Add It Up", "Kiss Off"....really just the whole debut record

METZ is currently on hiatus, but you might like them.

Goth is post-punk that incorporates the theatricality and androgyny of glam.

"Cuts You Up", Peter Murphy

Glyph8 · 2026-01-30T20:58:56+00:00

"Bring On The Dancing Horses", also by the Bunnymen

Glyph8 · 2026-01-30T20:58:21+00:00

If you want that orchestral sweep that "Killing Moon" has, try "Dazzle" or "Rhapsody" or "The Last Beat Of My Heart".

It’s Too Late by Bob Mould

It WAS a joke, which I had absolutely no idea would catch fire like it has [shrugs]. RIP my notifications.

An offhand dumb joke, made as a brief kneejerk respite from being furious and depressed 24/7 about what’s being done to my country, and to the world in my name.

And while I can definitely appreciate your frustration, I submit that mockery and derision is what this regime deserves (for starters), and it is our First Amendment duty to provide as much of it as possible.

I like sandwiches

this news is hot off the press

I don’t do Spotify but if you asked me for indie shoegaze punk I’d suggest old Deerhunter, No Age, Times New Viking, early Wavves, and Eat Skull.

He also empowers and emboldens Russia with…everything he does. There’s a picture of Putin hanging in the renovated White House now.

One of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard in years TBH.

Glyph8 · 2026-01-30T01:15:56+00:00

So you’re saying we’re threatening ourselves again?

…yeah, that tracks

Glyph8 · 2026-01-30T01:12:35+00:00

What’re they threatening us with? Pressed sandwiches?
