the Secretly Canadian catalog insert in the CD I am ripping now is a real “let’s remember some guys/gals/bands” of mid 2000s indie

P4k Sunday review on one of my favorite albums of all time is a nice surprise pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

My song of the year, 2025, I’m pretty sure youtu.be/lSjKXRD4DkE?...

I think one of the saddest artist losses that has occurred is Mark Linkous. Really was one of a kind.

The new Magic Fig album is really good, healthy doses of arena prog injected into delicate indie pop, Broadcast goes Rush magicfig.bandcamp.com/album/valeri...

new Glyders album has me choogling, boogieing, downright strutting towards...uh logging into Slack for the day I suppose glyders.bandcamp.com/album/forever

I saw Primal Scream on the XTRMNTR tour. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Mani was thundering. Kevin Shields was in the band for that tour too, the sheer noise and power was insane. I thought I was going to rocket straight through the venue’s ceiling. youtu.be/E86gWQs-ios?...

Ah, shit. RIP Mani. His Stone Roses work is obviously iconic, but the music Primal Scream made when he was in the band was really incredible. youtu.be/0xBzYsE4y1k?...

These are the albums I synched to my phone as soon as I woke up today. What did I know?

Happy 60th birthday to Sonic Boom and J Spaceman youtu.be/1RNONtLh7w0?...

One of the great examples of “the music, the album title, and the album artwork are all perfectly aligned with each other” shitandshine.bandcamp.com/album/doing-...

"From his mouth the bullet theoretical launched the bullet possible" now stands alongside "My lifestyle determines my death style" in the Hall of Making Good Words Happen

a cool YouTube account that posts a lot of live shows from London has posted some sets from a new project involving Cameron Picton from Black Midi, lot of cool free form jamming in this www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIma...

I need someone to make a Greyfolded for Outside Now www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m2_...

I love the new~ish Lorelle Meets The Obsolete album, if I made a 2025 album list it would be on it for sure. I also love that YouTube just informed me of this song collaboration with Holy Wave from a couple years ago, which is gorgeous www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPZF...

Silverfuck>Violet>Today>Baba O'Riley>Yer Blues in under 2 minutes. The Frogs were a very specific type of Midwestern excellence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkXb...

Todd Snider was really one of a kind www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8td...

I feel kind of bad. Bartender saw me Shazaming the music and enthusiastically described who the band was to me. In reality I was Shazaming because my inner monologue was “there a 100% chance that this reggae is made by white dudes, I must confirm this” (I was right btw)

Very sad news about Todd Snider. I listened to East Nashville Skyline an infinity number of times on my first mp3 player. A truly great songwriter, one of the very best storytellers via song. youtu.be/C7cFr2JnEHI...

King Of Snake

Underworld are kicking my teeth in (complimentary)

My first trip to The Fillmore, for Underworld

Another Green World memory: My job in ‘98 was IT for a nursing prof that ran research projects with PhD candidates. I sat in my office and listened to CDs, mostly Once had AGW on when a student came in, she picked up the CD case, frowned, and said “this music is disturbing” Happy 50th bday AGW

The Vonstrenginho vids of Roy Hodgson and Tancredi Palmeri were the pinnacle of sports content for me youtu.be/Spr1cAs6BLs?...

If you’re at all inclined towards shoegaze, the Sister Ray Davies album out today is extremely good sisterraydavies.bandcamp.com/album/holy-i...

happy birthday to the best to do it www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWUZ...

me canceling Adam Scott because he's just in too many goddamn commercials S3 Party Down casting of Henry's girlfriend suddenly makes so much sense now though

Going into full centrist anti-Mamdani derangement mode because you all won't stop posting those unfunny memes with his campaign artwork.

The new Sorry album out y'day is the real deal. Fractured/arty post-punk w/some electronic fuckery, and cool songwriting. There's a bold sample of GBV's "Hot Freaks", and a song that is a mutant rework of Toni Basil's "Mickey". They've made The Leap here imo sorrybanduk.bandcamp.com/album/cosplay

TFW it drops below 40°F

I've been desperately waiting for the BOC webstore to update their selection of phone cases to include the iPhone 17 family

Really digging this mini album out today, charming indie where I hear strains of 80s diy, VU’s s/t, early Pavement, little bit of Deerhunter/Atlas Sound thecindys.bandcamp.com/album/the-ci...

“Donna, you wanna sing on this one?” youtu.be/J8IBF3Ewr9A?...

Listened to all of today's '79 show by the Dead doing yard work today. Really dug the whole 2nd set sequence starting with Sailor>Saint, that long Saint jam into D/S was very cool, and then the space funk version of NFA coming out of Space was really awesome.

Oopsie

starting to think that the Blue Jays are a team of destiny (apologies if this post is a curse)

I didn’t realize the RSD release Talking Heads Live On Tour ‘78 had made its way to streaming recently. Listening now and it’s sweet, lean and mean, really reflects the sound of More Songs About Buildings And Food.

whoa we've got a strong Adrian Belew look going on here www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK94...

My wife wanted to go to a place that normally is a jazz lounge, which isn’t usually quite my vibe, because they have a DJ tonight. And the first song he played after we got in is some remix of Underworld’s “Cups” I can work with this.

This Bill Wyman video was at the top of my YouTube feed. I gotta reform my life, if the algorithms are pushing me this then I’ve made some mistakes youtu.be/5-FmBKVGxLQ?...

I need to spend the day sitting at the car dealership or businesses nearby there. At least I armed my phone with that good Halloween shit you can’t find on streaming

I really dislike it when album reissues completely throw the original cover artwork into the trash. For example, this 25th anniversary release that is out today. This is not Stankonia, you will never be my Stankonia.
