Accidentally wrote about shoegaze fascism, and also the best shoegaze album of the year, Mo Dotti's OPAQUE

It’s our Bandcamp Picks of the Week, featuring @weareourgirl’s quirked up Britpop-adjacent rocker THE GOOD KIND, out now via @bellaunion, and @Modottimusic's year best shoegaze outing OPAQUE! Read about both and then snag them over on @Bandcamp today! merrygoroundmagazine.com/bandcamp-picks…



Hope Kendrick releases a surprise album next year when Father John Misty isn't prepared and he's forced to release that Haxan Cloak collaborative record that's in a closet somewhere just because he wasn't prepared for it


We throw around "anti-art" a lot and some of it is very justified and some of it is overblown, but this is anti-art and I hope people who do this never see God's light

Listened in 4x speed



If you’re perusing the Pitchfork reviews today, shot/chase the MIZU write-up with a great profile from Dom that we ran yesterday!

With 4 | 2 | 3, @iamMIZU is exploring something physical, percussive, and cathartic through Baye & Asa's dance choreography. We sat down with the ambient composer and cellist to discuss her first score and the collaborative process creating it. merrygoroundmagazine.com/mizus-score-fo…

The ppl yearn for the dive bar

Hanging out with your friends is an echo chamber. You need to always invite one guy who sucks and everyone hates just to add some excitement



Follow the vision: Linda Cardellini but she’s playing both parts of THE SUBSTANCE

In my humble opinion, this is the best piece of toy photography to have ever been taken. I genuinely look at it all the time for a creative boost- the level of charm in it is completely unmatched!

Saw Nick Cave in Paris recently at the Accor Arena and I was really struck by that song Joy where he sings “We’ve all had too much sorrow, now it the time for joy.” I was thinking to myself, yeah that’s about right.

With Sorkin the question is always "will this be more stupid than it is evil" and in that arena he's really setting himself a new challenge here

There are a few, this one is in contention too

No movie meme has imprinted itself more upon my brain than this one

Paste single handedly leading the charge for the Fishmans reintroduction into modern music culture is a beautiful thing to see

Perfect film.

Rewatched Bad Day at Black Rock: I often think movies never got better than 80 minutes of a guy strolling into a small town carved into the desert and uncovering its secret. John Sturges blocks this like an Americana painting turned sour. A cast of leather handbags for the ages

Girl, that’s just Willem Dafoe in at least three movies over the last literal 12 months

One of the most evil men of the 1800s looked like Bill Hader doing a weekend update gag that is introduced with "Joining us now, an evil man from the 1800s"

Woof, if I saw three days of people shitting on me for rightfully being one of the least creative and dumbest people alive, I’d probably resort to just ending it all. Strength to you, my friend.

The company I work for, Silverside AI, just created an ad for @CocaCola (yes THE Coca-Cola)!! We were asked to bring the classic Coca Cola Holidays are Coming ad back through the use of AI. Check it out:



One of you cowards gotta ask Ridley Scott about MF DOOM


Dick, you have to stop. Your Chim too Cher-ee. Your Chitty too Bang Bang. Your Super too califragilisticexpialidocious They'll kill you.

Dick Van Dyke, 98, is going to live until he's 150. This is his world & we're all just living in it.
