kurt vile - chance to bleed you know what this sounds like. it's still pleasant, it's still comforting. i will get my hands on the album, but now it's getting to the point where if he tours i may just give him a miss youtu.be/FDq6YTeldcY

what could go wrong if you book kanye to play all 3 nights? #festivalwatch2026 www.brooklynvegan.com/londons-2026...

tracey nelson - hercules from the school of y'allternative that gave us such rad cunts as mj lenderman and greg freeman comes tracey nelson. where my flanno and akruba at. youtu.be/i4hOJPsBKLk?...

sparta - crater i'm a dedicated sparta fan from way back. crater sounds just as good as anything off wiretap scars, with a quarter century more experience. if they play again i'll see em again. their show at the croxton 2 years ago was tops youtu.be/Ur3lAMFiRjM

future islands - sail nothing hits harder than a sad future islands banger. walk around your neighbourhood at 5am while blasting this into your skull and you'll start working out your life. youtu.be/O5hg_8XM_ro

fire-toolz - alam =^..^= Says IPv09082024 Strawberry Head DOPE. this makes me want to pretend it's 2013 and take all manner of aspirin at 3am in dirty nightclubs. obviously this dude is on warp records youtu.be/TpsRpxrzixY?...

guided by voices - advance without dropping this is album nr. 44 for gbv. willie nelson also released his 156th album this week. after a while does it matter? anyway this song is pretty good, but hard to place where on the ranking it lists youtu.be/sA9MMPA39lg

the wu tang clan tour is selling very poorly. there's going to be lots of empty seats at the rod laver arena that will perfectly match the disappointed faces of the punters paying over $150 for a show that will no doubt be chaos. but in a bad way.

primitive ring - heads will roll HI NRG RnR. this is hot and sweaty and fast and fuzzy and scuzzy. it's awesome youtu.be/bzlgfeMW2bo

what a damn shame and sad way to go out. this is the final nail in their coffin. bluesfest will not be back. RIP #festivalwatch2026

the lemon twigs - i just can't get over losing you take the pop sensibilities of the first 4 beatles albums, sprinkle it with the harmonies of pet sounds and blend it till it's a delicious smoothie and choke on it because this is like nails down a chalkboard for me. youtu.be/s3BGrxYmjsM

modest mouse - look how far... three seconds in and you can instantly tell this is modest mouse. this is as good as anything they've done, which gives me hope for the album. they say all they have to say in under 2 minutes 👏 youtu.be/SRr_3hk69Wc

kim gordon - play me the queen is back. this tune is amazing, kim is amazing, you are amazing if you listen to it. youtu.be/aVgbDP8yEz0

"I’ve written like, five albums already with AI." so he didn't write the albums?

vilagerrr - locket y'allternative meets elliott smith. this dude strikes me as a sensitive type with a deep love of good music. locket is a great lo-fi happy-sad jam. if his other stuff sounds like this them i'm on board. youtu.be/TJ4EX4VCwK0

alexis taylor feat. the avalanches and etienne de crecy - i can feel your love this video, despite being artificial, is a tearjerking delight. the song is great too. all of the emotions come out in under 5 minutes. stone cold classic. youtu.be/oocL0ujuMNo

i thought this movie looks bad, but the pronoun joke in the first 10 seconds, followed by a republican joke, followed by a gay joke really sealed the deal for me.

sucks to be a punk / emo fan in 2026. #festivalwatch2026

wisetech announces it's cutting 2000 jobs. share price jumps 10% bomb it all.

john andrews & the yawns - goodbye dirty snow goodbye dirty snow is a fuzzy, lo-fi delight and reminds me of beck when he's feeling whimsical. i like this. and now i will check out their back catalogue. youtu.be/y5ct-7Pap7g

mariachi el bronx - songbird i'm not really sure what the point of mariachi el bronx is. they're a punk band, that moonlights as a mariachi band, and australians lose their mind? am i missing something here, is this just their version of ciccone youth? youtu.be/3s0CMEvhvBM

weird nightmare - might see you there it wasn't all sad when metz called it a day, with this new direction that singer alex has taken he may be more accessible in the long run. 2 minutes of pure rock 'n roll fun. sign me up 🤩 youtu.be/0jGJpAKUNgk

Dilbert fan and office bigot mourns death of its creator www.thewatercoolernews.com/dilbert-fan-...

sunn0))) - glory black if you know sunn0))) you already know what this sounds like, but with a bit more piano. glory black rules and the new album should be a hum dinger. now that they're signed to sub pop can we expect a collab with the shins? 😍 youtu.be/XXXQbGvofeo

most live albums are more miss than hit. but boiled alive by DIIV is just the fucking best. the interludes that has the weird corporate cult thing work well on this album. i'm so glad i saw them twice on this tour.
