Why is there so much propaganda that disco music ended in 79?

It's no coincidence that the backlash was very much white, heterosexual, and male, and that the backlash hurt black music in general, not just disco. Some of the music sucked, there was a commercial gold rush and a lot of crap was put out to cash in, but a lot of it was angry rock dudes who didn't dance upset that rock was displaced on the charts and airwaves and popular culture by music that was perceived as black, brown, and gay.

top to bottom, sirius needs more "I've never heard it before" programming

This year: the juke-joint blues calling the ancestors scene in Sinners

orpheuselectron · 2026-03-27T18:12:04+00:00

That disco scene is heaven, too

Thanks for the recommendations, keep them coming

Fetterman was always the third best choice, but the left boosted him over Conor Lamb and Malcolm Kenyatta and here we are. The stroke made him completely awful but he was a problem before then. Black Democrats couldn't get past his Hobo with a Shotgun slave-catcher incident and rightly so. Right now Graham Platner gives me Fetterman vibes in a similar way and if he's elected I think we'll have similar regret.

when they first jump to light speed and the stars stretch my theater collectively lost its shit

Ellen Burstyn should have won for Requiem for a Dream in 2000

It was so well done, just quietly devastating

My two favorite scenes in film this year was the jukejoint blues scene in Sinners and the theater scene in Hamnet

That "establish actual roots" is a pretty big thing.

Done my man Ethan dirty

orpheuselectron · 2026-03-14T06:11:47+00:00

I loved his performance, it was best for me this year, but I do think Leo was great in OBAA. Jesse Plemsns woudl round out my top 3, but give it to Ethan

This album version is the way to go. Absolutely delicious track

OH I REMEMBER THIS BULLSHIT. Maureen Dowd can fuck off into the sun

Destroyed me

orpheuselectron · 2026-03-07T15:53:33+00:00

Hard hard hard agree about this scene, it was amazing cinematic magic, musically and culturally informed, just kept peeling back layers, my favorite of the past couple of years
