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.

out now: our sixth weekly playlist of 2025 featuring Richard Dawson, Pearl Charles, Helena Deland, Oklou, James Elkington, @adwaithmusic.bsky.social, Moontype, PUP, James Brandon Lewis, Preoccupations, Marshall Allen, Kristina Murray, Gaye Su Akyol, Mari Kalkun, Vulture Feather, and more

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

Forgot to post last week's playlist, so here it is. New tracks by FACS, Sharon van Etten, @immennimmen.bsky.social, Squid, Dean Blunt & Elias Rønnenfelt, @ratsonrafts.bsky.social, @trupatrupa.bsky.social, Heartworms, Ebo Taylor, La Lom, Georgia Harmer, @shannonwrightmusic.bsky.social, and more.

What do you think? Should I make this sticker?

Before I leave for a packed Jason Isbell show, here's another edition of our weekly playlist. New Will Oldham means 2025 is already worth living; as an added bonus there are new tracks by BCNR, @rosecityband.bsky.social, Esther Rose, Waxahatchee, Circuit des Yeux, Lily Hiatt, Kathryn Mohr, and mohr

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

another week, another zero reach post on social network blue sky, another playlist! this time featuring @samamidon.bsky.social's new album plus new tracks by @annabsavage.bsky.social, @mogwai.scot, @fuckedupband.bsky.social, Craig Finn, Dutch Interior, Delivery, Shilpa Ray, C Duncan, and more

second playlist of the new year featuring - of course - @theweatherstation.bsky.social's new album, plus new tracks by @califone-timrutili.bsky.social, @mymorningjacket.bsky.social, Songhoy Blues, Mess Esque, lots of hands, Eiko Ishibashi, Lucy Dacus, The Tubs, Flora Hibberd, and more

I see an indoors car, I immediately think of @chatpileband.bsky.social

first playlist of the year, and what a surprise: it’s Bad Bunny on the cover. plus new tracks by Destroyer, Jason Isbell, PUP, Twine, Florist, Japanese Breakfast, Derya Yıldırım, Squid, Pale Blue Eyes, Will Stratton, and more bolachas.org?p=14240

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

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

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.

It’s Bandcamp Friday! Who are you supporting today? My Bandcamp Friday classic is to get another recording of a Hold Steady show I haven’t been to

Another week, another playlist up on the blog. Focus on @voicesbend.bsky.social's new album + 18 new songs by Papa M, Tarwater, LEYA, James Brandon Lewis, Trupa Trupa, The Letter E, Ak’chamel, Juanita Stein, Minta & the Brook Trout, and more. Available on Spotify, YouTube, and Tidal.

Testing this with a modern classic

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

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

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

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.

Last stop of the Wand Euro tour last Saturday at EKKO, in Utrecht. Feels good to see a band that is carrying dozens of pedals and then actually using them!

This is growing so nicely! go.bsky.app/DrDbmZY

playlist #446 up - featuring Max Bien Kahn's new album "Flowers". Plus, new tracks by @wussymusic.bsky.social @peaer.bsky.social @rosecityband.bsky.social + artists who haven't moved here yet, like YHWH Nailgun, Warmdusher, Sofie Royer, Charley Crockett, Tomo Katsurada, or Ichiko Aoba.

if you feel like you have too much money lying around, here’s something worth the trouble of getting rid of it

gonna update the weekly playlist tomorrow. maybe at night (European time), I guess, since I’ll be busy being a corporate bro during the day. spoiler: the great new Max Bien Kahn album will be featured there. I strongly suggest you listen to it if you like songs.

So previously there’d be tons of studies each year on how we listen to music but they have largely been defunded. I am changing that and conducting the largest music listening survey of the year. Please fill this out and help send it around! forms.gle/QBGySx4D5tg7...

Can someone tell John Olson to come over here so I can stop opening Instagram as well

I’ve scrolled approximately five times on this app and already found something good. that’s more than in the last 5 years on Facebook

Is your favourite music publication on here yet? Music journalism is in crisis. Not least because other platforms suppress links. Give these places a follow. Amplify what they're doing. Become a supporter if you can. ♼ Please repost to spread the word go.bsky.app/6NR8rap

I am creating a starter pack with music blogs and bloggers writing about indie music. Tips are welcome! go.bsky.app/DrDbmZYe

someone who is good at the internet please tell us how do we boost our 'readership' we've done many things since 2006, but these days, it's mostly weekly playlist, updated every Wednesday. we've done this for 445 weeks and you can follow it on Spotify/YouTube/Tidal: bit.ly/m/bolachas
