5:26 PM "dark corners" by 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐲 & 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 from 𝐴𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑛𝑎 𝑇𝑜 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐴𝑓𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 (Popfrenzy) #nowplaying

“redwood regional park” Sarah Coolidge

Celebrating Earth Day with Story Of An Earth Girl by Earth Girl Helen Brown. A Sonny & the Sunsets side-project, one of his 100 Records. Dusty girl-group r&b with a cursed underbelly, the eponymous character is played by Heidi Alexander of the Sandwitches & on the short-lived Forest Family label.

“Redwood Regional” finds Sarah Coolidge steering surf licks into country corners and winding through her lyrical labyrinths with shaggy charms. The song strums with a slight squeal, turning its hangdog delivery into cool breeze catharsis, burrowing it’s slouched hooks into the bone. bit.ly/3EMNPE9

we are excited to share that Sarah Coolidge is joining us at Rocks in Your Head Records! today we are releasing the first single “Redwood Regional”, from her new album, Witch The Double EP. sarahcoolidge.bandcamp.com

In case you haven't heard this album yet!! 👉👉👉 This album is freakishly good. I mean, I'm used to good stuff from Sonny Smith / Sonny & the Sunsets, but damn... so real and tuneful and full of treats of sound. sonnyandthesunsets.bandcamp.com/album/self-a...

Congratulations to Tongo Eisen-Martin, winner of the Windham-Campbell Prize for Poetry!! Author of HEAVEN is All Goodbyes: Pocket Poets Series No 61 & BLOOD on the Fog: Pocket Poets Series No 62, published by City Lights 🌞 bit.ly/4iGK8hW

one year of edging in heaven 😈 😇

Great essay not just on #takedowntesla but how it's working and how it exemplifies direct action (Waging Nonviolence is always worth checking out):

The world needs to watch Alice Coltrane’s Eternity’s Pillar on Criterion. I am converting to whatever this is.
