I went to Primavera Sound to see Danny L Harle. It was huge

Being at the Rewire festival in Den Haag feels like being surrounded by people with Bluesky accounts

A 3 hour long Sturgill Simpson set sounds like the greatest idea ever until you realize you’re not 25 anymore

Not Bill Fay, man. Bill Fay. This fucking week. One of the greatest to ever do it. My first and only choice every time a festival/promoter asks “who should we book next year?” (like they’re gonna consider it) knowing damn well he never played a single show in his career. Rest easy.

One of the best festivals around for people who enjoy guitars btw. Sure, you're gonna see this pic and ask "who?", but the truth is I had more than my government-mandated amount of fun last year

Music, film, and videogames did not peak while you were in the 13-23 age range. Don’t let your less curious friends convince you otherwise. They’re turning into their parents faster than you are

people over 30 quote this with some life advice for the rest of us?

Carro destrói montra de pastelaria em Paços de Ferreira

Um carro elétrico, descontrolado, destruiu a montra de uma pastelaria, na manhã desta terça-feira, em Arreigada, no concelho de Paços de Ferreira.

This is basically a commissioned piece that I didn’t have to pay for

Hayden Pedigo and Chat Pile made an album of "apocalyptic western picking slammed through heavy riffs and maybe 90s Chicago post-rock even?"

Will 2025 be the year the “indie music industry” gets rid of the scourge of the 3rd and 4th and 5th “advance single” from a 10 track record and the vomit-inducing gimmicky marketeer discourse about “album cycles” that makes artistry sound like a brand

Essential Christmas watching

Leonard Cohen had some legendary tours, even including the 2009-11 period. But this 1985 show in Warsaw is his prime. The stagefright is gone and the setlist includes all of the best material. youtu.be/VPwfiMkZdoA?...

Last playlist of the year since basically nobody dares to release albums in December, there's barely any non-seasonal new tracks, and you're not gonna listen to a new music playlist on the 25th of December or 1st of January, so this is it. I had no idea White Denim had a new album coming out!

tomorrow we publish the last playlist of the year! meanwhile, last week's, which I forgot to share here due to my very busy life. it's got the indie rockers Good Morning on the cover, plus new tracks by the likes of @willstratton.bsky.social, Şatellites, Hand Habits, Clara Mann, Drop Nineteens, etc.

Finally caved in and bought a CD player for my home setup. Thanks for the inspiration @ryleywalker.bsky.social

I could write 300 characters about how @voicesbend.bsky.social's first album in over a decade is a must-listen but Jim Allen at @bandcamp.com daily already did that and more, so

Julie Beth Napolin, “Only the Void Stands Between Us”

The New York folk artist's debut is a spooky psych-folk seance that's cosmic, yet earthbound.

Lost it on December 1st lmao. Won it in 2020 and 2021, thank you lockdowns

So it begins…. Personal best, 22nd December. Personal worst, 2nd December. Whamhalla awaits, so everything is muted until checked and I’m plugging my head shut in all public spaces (tbh I do that anyway).

Bought two records today: a Numero reissue of Codeine’s “Frigid Stars” and the new, expanded version of Michael Cashmore’s “The Snow Abides”, out now on Finnish label Svart Records. Life is good (I have money)

Finally caved in and bought a CD player for my home setup. Thanks for the inspiration @ryleywalker.bsky.social

another wednesday, another weekly playlist - this time spearheaded by Father John Misty (I mean, could this dude do something terribly wrong? don't think so). plus, new tracks by the likes of Patterson Hood, The Weather Station, Kim Deal, Simon Joyner, Yoo Doo Right, Automotion, and more.

Got 400 followers mostly from just being in starter packs but barely any engagement. Time to ask the audience if they remember this

2006-core

Gotta love a list that has exactly 3 records I’ve listened to (Quivers, Scott Lavene, Chime School) and they’re pretty good, which gives me high hopes for the other 17.
