Hurray for the Riff Raff, just before the one-year anniversary of their acclaimed album The Past Is Still Alive, has shared their first new single and music video of 2025, "Pyramid Scheme." The song embodies that record’s spirit of resilience and rebellion, with lyrical nods to Billy the Kid, Calamity Jane, Darby Crash, and Frida Kahlo. The video was animated by Jayla Kai Smith.

This spring and summer, Hurray for the Riff Raff headlines sixteen newly added US tour dates, with shows across the West Coast, East Coast, and Midwest. Pre-sale today with password pyramidscheme; general on-sale starts Friday. The shows feature support from Merce Lemon, and follow an extensive run with Bright Eyes that begins next week, in addition to dates with Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman, festivals, and more.

About the blogger meme

Thank you to @bioloyg for the tag and the fic callout! Team Pete forever and for always!

Star Sign: Libra, but it never resonates the way my enneagram 2 does

Favorite Holidays: Groundhog Day. I love those little dudes (although I wish we could leave them in peace so maybe let’s just celebrate their existence and not force our way into their homes)

Last Meal: Enchiladas for dinner

Last Music Listened To: Waxahatche’s Great Thunder

Last Movie Watched: hmmmm in the theater? I think Bottoms, which I adored

Last TV Show Watched: Shameless. I’m in the beginning of season 9 and it is messing me up in 5000 different ways. The acting is great (sometimes) and the writing is awful (mostly) and the storylines are ridiculous (always) and it’s at least 5 or 6 seasons too long. But every once in a while it really makes you think, and it’s completely gotten under my skin. And I will finish it if it’s the last thing I ever do. And it might be, because wow.

Last Book/Fic Finished: I just finished Justin Torres’ Blackouts and I LOVED it. And the most recent chapter of @glitterslag’s It's Been You and Me Since Before I Was Me — is a witchy creepy Appalachian Gothic MASTERPIECE that I adore. Oh and Blissymbolics’ Colorless Richie Jerimovich, also a masterpiece even though it is sydrichie and that is giving me a teeny tiny identity crisis okay moving on

Last Book/Fic Abandoned: I am thisclose to giving up on Lessons In Chemistry. I do not get this book at all.

Currently Reading: nobody ever got my soul right like she could by seh28

Last Thing Researched for Art/Writing/Hyperfixation: Quite a bit about what happens to children of people wirh narcissistic personality disorder (hi Donna, yes I am armchair psychologizing and pathologizing a fictional character) for the fic I’m currently writing. I’m not a really intense researcher, but I’ve read all about elevator mechanics and ancient marriage rites and British parking tickets and EMP’s 2019 spring menu and how to cook uni and where pastina comes from, all for fics. I love that aspect of writing.

Favorite Online Fandom Memory: It’s embarrassing, but it’s probably the first time that one of my favorite fic authors commented on one of my own fics, ca. 2018. I was on the subway, and I dropped my phone on the disgusting wet floor when I saw the incredibly lovely comment they’d posted.

FaNvorite Old Fandom You Wish Would Drag You Back In/Have A Resurgence: I really only have two old fandoms, but I do miss HP quite a bit. It’s such a robust space, with really nice people, and so many different fests and prompts and challenges. I still read a bit when my favorite authors post, and would like to write for it again someday. (Also, if you’re the anon who’s messaged me multiple times to tell me that my new fics aren’t as good or creative as my HP, and that I “used to be a good writer” — please stop. That’s not the way to convince me to go back, and it makes me feel bad)

Favorite Thing You Enjoy That Never Had an Active or Big "Fandom" but You Wish It Did: Truly I’ve never experienced a hyperfixation like I have with The Bear. I wish fanfic had existed in its current state when I was younger, or that I’d been cool enough to figure out the concept and write it on my own. I would have been VERY ACTIVE in a Dead Poets Society fandom if it had existed when I was obsessed with that movie, a decade after it came out, when I watched it practically every day for a year 🤪

Tempting Project You're Trying to Rein In/Don't Have Time For: I just have 15 different Bear WIPs, none of which have any plot, wooo!

Anyway this was all very fun to think about. Tagging @amieraisposting @kdbleu @justabovewater20 @yannaryartside @glitterslag — only if this is your jam — and anyone else who wants to join in.

Last month Katie Crutchfield (aka Waxahatche) and Jess Williamson released their debut LP as Plains, I Walked With You a Ways, and it's a warm, fully-realized country pop record that breathes new life into the form. Highlight "Hurricane" is a steady, mid-tempo march propelled by nimble banjo plucks, bright piano chords, and a tender kick/snare rhythm. "Hurricane" reads like an ode to weathering the storms in relationships, but it flips pop conventions as Crutchfield takes herself to task throughout the lyrics "If I stand in the shadows/When you day something true/Well, I might try to argue/But baby, I'll come back to you".

By the end of the first verse Williamson's lush harmonies have joined the fold, heightening the potency of the vocal melody by several orders of magnitude. "Hurricane" continues to subtly build steam until the melody resolves as Crutchfield repeatedly exclaims "Baby, I'll come back to you" with firm resolution. IWWYaW is a breezy, low-stakes record that dispels any projected pressures about how Crutchfield was going to follow-up her most beloved and successful record to date. Thankfully, IWWYaW is a welcome detour for both artists, one that nurtures their respective Americana influences without sounding overly beholden to them.

My first mutual tag. What a treat!

Fav Color: I've been digging some greens lately, but overall I've been trying to add more true autumn colours to my life.

Currently Reading: “The Dragons" by Douglas Niles. It's campy and cheesy fantasy, and I love it.

Last Songs: “Bernadette" by Reina Del Cid, then "Fruits of my Labor" by Waxahatche 

Last Series/Show: I watched an Episode of the Bachelorette with my fiance, but we've also been watching The O.C. together.

Last Movie: Fire Island.

Currently working on: Enjoying hobbies without trying to turn them into a side hustle. I've picked up my sketchbook again, and I'm planning a D&D campaign for some friends.

I’ll tag (no obligation): @sweetsweetsurrealism
