I have one free download code (NOT Bandcamp, you’ll need a laptop) for experimental musician, composer, and sound artist Claire Rousay’s 2025 album A Little Death. First person to reply to this post with any GIF gets it.

Tapping the Darkness to record the song “Masters of the Universe” for the movie of the same name is a no-brainer. The song is perfect. Well done.

Happy Friday!

My review of Kevin Morby’s Little Wide Open: #newmusic #newalbum #albumreview

It is slow this morning at work so I’ve listened to this week’s episode way earlier than usual FOR REASONS! In addition to the thrilling Brucio interview that I was so happy to help make happen, I enjoyed shining on with this week’s #ChartChat.

Check out Bruce McCulloch on the latest episode of the “People Are the Enemy” podcast, talking “Dark Purple Slice”!

Episode 437 of the PEOPLE ARE THE ENEMY podcast is now available! Our guest is Bruce McCulloch! Andy talks with Bruce about his new album, Dark Purple Slice. On Rachel’s Chart Chat, Rachel from Des Moines (@therachel.bsky.social) finds songs that Let It Shine On. Thank you for listening!

Finished Dept. of Speculation by Jenn Offill. A meditation on marriage & family written in short anecdotes that at times is darkly comedic & almost poetic. Read it in two sittings. Written from the perspective of a creative woman who becomes a wife & mom. Details marriage’s ups & downs. I liked it.

Happy Friday!

Finished Call of the Camino by Suzanne Redfearn. The Camino de Santiago is a 500-mile pilgrimage through Spain. Written from the perspective of a journalist in the present & her mother in the past, Redfearn ping-pongs between 1997 & 2024, relaying a tale of self-discovery, grief, & love. I liked it.

Loved hearing @andymascola.bsky.social’s thoughts on my friend Bruce McCulloch’s excellent new album! And also loved when @therachel.bsky.social thanked the alphabet on #ChartChat. “Thank you, alphabet.”

Another week in 2026, another dip back to 1976! I thought the segment turned out well and I greatly enjoy the album. Others out there disagree. Why not listen to both and decide for yourself? Btw a smoothie counts for drinking bananas from long tall glasses, if you want it to.

Ep 436 is up! Andy talks about Bruce McCulloch's new LP & P4K screwing up their rating of Lip Critic’s album. Also, Mick Jagger talks about meeting the Cure's Robert Smith. On Rachel's Chart Chat, Rachel from Des Moines (@therachel.bsky.social) talks about Long May You Run by the Stills-Young Band.

On this week’s #ChartChat @therachel.bsky.social is discussing Foreigner-related Supergroups and every time she says “Lou Gramm” I think she’s saying “Lou Grant”

“But how will you do that when you’re a….Long, Long Way From Home?” 🎸 🎶⚡️🎶

Ep 435 is up! Andy talks about Beatrice Beispiel, Blarf (Eric Andre), and Azealia Banks. Also, we listen to a clip of director Yorgos Lanthimos calling Louis Theroux illiterate. On Rachel's Chart Chat, Rachel from Des Moines (@therachel.bsky.social) delivers part 2 of her Foreigner chart analysis.
