The X-Files episode "Darkness Falls" first aired on this day in 1994. Here's my poster for the episode. #TheXFiles #otd

We've been championing Julie Williams for a while now, so to see her on a single w Russell and Oladokun is such a boost in terms of visibility and recognition. Love this.

Happy #NewMusicFriday!

Midway through Fahrenheit 451, we learn that the U. S. government has launched a series of unprovoked wars against smaller countries, just because it can, while the population is so hypnotized by amusements & devices that hardly anyone knows the wars are taking place.

Happy international women’s day! Listen to women! ❤️ open.spotify.com/playlist/3Kc...

New Music Friday! War Child UK has a timely new benefit album out, with proceeds going to help kids in war zones. Plenty of new songs on it, but my pick is a stunning Fontaines D.C. cover of one of my favorite Sinéad O'Connor songs. Listen below & read my review on Americana Highways. #listenbetter

New Alela Diane is GOOD.

Reminder:

There is no marketing I'm more susceptible to these days than any company saying they don't use generative AI in their projects. I'm a sitting duck for that promise even if they're selling graham crackers or masking tape.

So I think Cam has just done the best show I've ever seen. The songs. The voice. The band. The pacing. The setlist. Perfect.

🚨 The Highwomen (!!!!) at Brandi Carlile's Echoes Through The Canyon.

Brandi Carlile Announces Return of The Highwomen with Sheryl Crow, Wynonna Judd and Brittney Spencer relix.com/news/detail/...

“On her excellent new album Appalachia, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Emily Scott Robinson sings songs for the heartbroken and the hurting, the struggling and tired; for those who’ve been knocked down and the ones who won’t let that stop them from getting back up.”

Another drive, another show, another stranger’s house In borrowed rooms and old wood floors I lay me down at night You don’t ask where home is anymore It’s just borrowed rooms and old wood floors — Emily Scott Robinson

“This was an opening ceremony for the ages: effortlessly chic, bewitching and divine. Milan simultaneously delivered a three-hour love letter to Italy, and a plea for hope and harmony in a fractious world.”

Watch Emily Scott Robinson cover Patty Griffin and John Prine and play her own 'Dirtbag Saloon'. Filmed at #TakeRoot in Groningen. theinfluences.com/emily-scott-...

This is a Emily Scott Robinson on repeat weekend.

As with the finest country music, Appalachia foregrounds shared human experience as something that elevates all of us when we're actually open to giving a damn about someone whose life may not be exactly like ours. It isn't just a brilliant record in a technical sense; it's a vital, important one.

Each of the songs here scans quite deliberately as a powerful rebuttal to the ongoing and increasingly vocal attacks on empathy. The characters she's written about here are, to a one, given a story of struggle and resilience, and Robinson's performances convey why those stories *matter* to her.

Seriously, if there are going to be better albums than this one in 2026, it's shaping up to be an incredible year.

“There’s this thing I do with every record I make,” she says. “I knit a prayer into it, and I ask for all these songs to find their way to everyone who needs them.” Thank you, Emily Scott Robinson, this album has found its way to me.

I hoped for a better day One I wanted to remember with you — Bella White

Great news. It made zero sense to me.

Been listening to a lot of Emily Scott Robinson waiting for the new album, it reminded me how much I love this EP.

The new LP from country singer-songwriter Emily Scott Robinson brims with a much-needed sentiment: Hope. It's our Album of the Day.

Anyway, here are just few country artists who aren’t MAGA assholes, have spoken out about issues AND make really good music: Margo Price Tyler Childers Ken Pomeroy Benjamin Tod Emily Scott Robinson JR Carroll Kaitlin Butts Telander (And there are plenty of others)

Happy 14th anniversary to one of my favorite albums of all time.

Don't take it on you It's just the cold truth Nothing comes easy Except for pain — Joy Oladokun #NewMusicFriday
