End on End

Hello, friend.

My name is Jason and I live in Buffalo, NY with my wife and three kids. I mainly blog about music and our dueling digital/analog selves. Sometimes family stuff, hockey, and photography. Learn More →

  • 🔗 The Strange World Of… Fugazi | The Quietus

    Everything has grown worse in Fugazi’s absence.

    So true. And a nice look back at Fugazi’s legacy.

  • 🔗 Fazed on a Pony - Flashes

    Found this band in Rosy Overdrive's "Best of 2026 (so far) part 1" post and thankfully clicked on the song preview... so good.

  • 🔗 AI Economics for Dummies - McSweeney’s Internet Tendency

    As AI companies get ready to go public and we get a deeper look at their inner workings, it’s only natural to have questions about their finances, like “Do they make money?” and “How?” Here are a few examples to help the average layperson understand the business side of AI.

    Kind of brilliant, absurd examples of the insanity that is the AI bubble.

  • 🔗 Foundational Texts: Goonies Never Say Die

    A great read from Dan Sinker:

    You can trace a very clear line from that summer of being scared and sad and loney and watching The Goonies over and over to punk. The underground that I discovered a few years later—probably four or five in actual years but it feels like far more separation than that—was exactly that: a place where you could exist separate from the conformity of the mainstream, where you could chart your own existence, where you could build possibilities that felt impossible and possible simultaneously, and where you could do it alongside others who had found themselves—their true selves—in the liner notes of 7"s and smudgy printing of zines and sticky floors of a Sunday afternoon show in a rock club that smelled of old beer and sweat. Down there, it was our time.

    Underground and decentralized, always.

  • 🔗 Buck Meek - Gasoline

    Lead track on his new album, The Mirror. So good.

  • Clear

    Grievance and grift all the way down.

  • It's all a scam

  • Stereolab in Buffalo NY

    It's been over 20 years since I last saw Stereolab (Seattle, 2004, with Tortoise)... so wasn't sure what to expect with Stereolab in Buffalo of all places. I was blown away, though, both by the band and the crowd. Buffalo LOVES Stereolab, apparently. Sold out crowd and good vibes that almost took Lætitia Sadier to tears. I absolutely love when bands experience the Buffalo that I love and see the city as a place worthy of attention.
