Florida Republican Gov’t Officials Bend Over Backwards To Tell Everyone That, Yes, Absolutely, They Are Punishing Disney For Its Speech
We had mentioned just how pathetically ridiculous it was that the Florida legislature was considering stripping the already unconstitutional Disney theme park exemption fully from the unconstitutional social media bill that was passed, with the help of Disney, just last year. And on Thursday, as expected, the Republicans in Florida’s legislature went ahead and approved […]
Crit Pick: Screaming Females w/ Catbite, Ghosh
Being part of a Tony Hawk video game soundtrack is probably the most punk-acceptable equivalent of a getting a GRAMMY. The Screaming Females’ single “Let Me In” can be heard on 2020’s Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2, a full-on remake of the first two games in the franchise that features most of the original iconic soundtrack alongside a new set of songs from various artists.

Crit Pick: Lil Tecca w/ BabySantana, Yvngxchris
We live in a world where a high school student from the Five Towns in Long Island, New York can upload a song to the internet and become a famous rapper seemingly overnight. The path that Lil Tecca’s 2019 single “Ransom” took from its debut on a hip YouTube channel to peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart is the same basic map that millions of musicians try to follow, only to veer off-road or crash and burn out altogether.

Here's hoping the rest of the day is clear and brilliant too. ¹OK, fine, he didn't jump. I picked him up and put ...continue reading "Friday Cat Blogging – 22 April 2022"
