yes that makes a lot of sense

like it's alternatively nuanced and then just very black-and-white. straight edgeness is a good way to describe it. i thought it was funny when she was talking about how she realizes how american she still is - like, that curmudgeonly midwesterness is very much still there.

and like i get an albini vibe from her sometimes, lol, she would probably be amused to hear that.

I did roll my eyes at the LGBTGDGMROGMROGONFMwhatever joke she was trying to make. But I love that he is willing to say, fuck heteronormativity if it isn't for you, I need more of that in my life

my favorite one is his evisceration of family, that has really stuck with me.

I’d have liked the interviewer to drill down further into the seeming contradiction between: gigs are bad, because a communal response destroys the individual’s singular connection to the art vs: being a DJ, which is surely all about eliciting a communal response (even if you’re as anti-fun as TT!)

Relistening for the first time in years… god I love how MOODY this record is. It truly needs to be played LOUD so you can immerse yourself in all its MOODINESS.
When I first heard it Brenda’s $20 Dilemma didn’t stand out to me much, but listening now — man, it creates such an *atmosphere* in those eight or so minutes. A low key highlight for sure

Whats the sample in The Occasional Feel-Good? I felt like it almost came to me recently. Or maybe what came to me was The Occasional Feel-Good itself

Don't know about that, but I'm pretty sure the sample in "House Music is Controllable Desire You Can Own" is "I Know You" by Paul Williams.

Also has anyone heard the Gayest Tits complication she put out a couple years ago? Haven’t seen much discussion about it here but seems like the kind of thing y’all would like

I bought it. It's wonderful. Spent a long weekend in Palm Springs last year with only this set for music in the car. Perfectly stenciled the visit into my brain - very scenic music. The Will Long CD (Long Trax) it came with is also lovely. Hours and hours of spacy, chugging warmth.
