I can find enough new music to fill an hour or radio every week, but coming up with a mix tape full of fresh musical discoveries for a fellow lady DJ similarly clued-in to the latest and sharing many of the same favorite bands/labels? WAY HARDER

This was a very fun gig. And I won’t mind if you check out this video premiere instead of listening to my live radio show this Wednesday evening. 😉

Got my copy in the mail today of Where the Wild Gigs Were: Vol 2 @hozacrecordsbooks.bsky.social book.. with a piece in it by yours truly! Big thanks to @timdaggerboy.bsky.social and Eric Eggleson. I wrote about early 90s times at long-gone NYC rock club The Spiral. hozacrecords.com/product/wtwg...

Only if I get to choose

Found out more about The Vera Project’s plans for a new Georgetown venue at their neighborhood Garden Party this afternoon. Can’t wait!

RIP Jeff Conolly of Lyres, who could tear it up onstage til the end. (Here w/Mission of Burma at the tail end of a raucous cover of “No Fun” at his cancer benefit in March.)

Probably the most, uh, off-brand thing I’ve ever done, but I was 12 and they had this activity at my summer camp and I was pretty good at it: Receiving the NRA’s Junior Marksman Certification (for .22 caliber target shooting)

Okay, my QUESTION OF THE DAY is… What is your weirdest actual accomplishment? Not the biggest necessarily…but the weirdest?

Only a few days until our first UK tour. We booked this entirely DIY through the goodwill of the punk/indiepop community. Please try to buy tickets in advance - it will help reassure the kind folk that are putting on the gigs that they haven't made a terrible mistake. Tickets: linktr.ee/neutrals82

Smash Your Nose on the Trunk Lock Lost Sebadoh album title or thing I just did while bringing the groceries in from the car?

As much as I enjoy learning about new bands from Bandcamp’s editorial staff, the gaps in many of these younger writers’ musical education really shows when trying to frame current trends in relation to what’s come before, esp some of the 90s micro-scenes.

Just a normal Friday afternoon here in Georgetown

Gently cradling yr records as I prepare to play them on my show, with Danish, British, German and American indie pop, early 90s shoegaze from Perth, and other new discoveries. Onir NOW: 104.9 FM in Seattle or hollowearthradio.org online

From the Bicentennial-Fever-Was-Real Dept: the Bicentennial TV! Spotted at my local Goodwill 20 years ago, as captured by my crappy flip phone camera. Do I still regret not buying this? YES

Last two weeks' worth of radio shows now up online. As international as the World Cup? Perhaps not, but I'm trying! New indie tracks from 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇦🇺🇳🇱🇪🇸🇧🇪🇨🇦🇨🇷🇮🇪🇬🇧🇧🇷 and multiple cities across 🇺🇸—37 bands, 2 hours of music & talk. www.mixcloud.com/nstop/

The indie pop tour of the summer rolled thru Seattle last night, on the big stage of the Crocodile, starting with the good-natured snark and catchy pop of Swansea Sound and the eminently charming and tuneful Umbrellas, the latter of whom shared a number of (super!) new songs.

Longtime local faves Versing!

Many years ago, I was fortunate enough to stay at Mona’s guest house in southern Lebanon, learning about her work with the turtles and visiting their beach. So horrific and senseless…
