Something like "he's out and we'll pick a new name asap" would be cool for starters

So absolutely insane and foolish of The Washington Post. Their loss and ours.

"This is the worst fucking time. But watching people's response to ICE has just been the most affirming thing in the world.” We interviewed our friends over at @racketmn.com about what it’s like to cover the crisis in Minneapolis as community-centered journalists

Working with Brown Horse around their terrific new album Total Dive (out April 10 via Loose Music) and their first North American tour! sipsman.com/Brown-Horse

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

DOLLBAUM NEWS: 1. a performance of "Whippits/Trailer Lights" is up 2. Drive All Night now on CD, thanks to the folks at @dearliferecs.bsky.social. 3. solo dates with Esther Rose and Fust/Merce Lemon: sipsman.com/Thomas-Dollbaum www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGLo...

"a new intimacy, and a foray into electronic production...While it experiments and ventures out, it always finds its way back to the source of its inspiration, taking listeners on a non-linear journey of stillness, movement, nostalgia, and joy." @okayafrica.bsky.social

"Essam, which translates to 'lightning' in the Tuareg language Tamasheq, feels like a fitting title. The new record does seem to capture lightning in a 10-track metaphorical bottle: It is at once frenetic and meditative, acoustic and programmed." @nodepression.bsky.social

A great writer and interviewer needs our help.

Leeks: the lamb of the alliums

These new Lily Seabird dates en route to @treefortfest.bsky.social are on sale NOW 🎟️ linktr.ee/LilySeabird

Happy release day to Imarhan's Essam, out now on City Slang. I never want to do publicity for an album I'm not gonna listen to on release day. This one is no exception. "the sound of the 21st-century Sahara" @mojomagazine.bsky.social ★★★★ www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1nY...

maybe it’s this week

"Dollbaum is on the up thanks to his tender, atmospheric Drive All Night mini-album. 'Warlock’s House' is his finest work so far, presenting him as a modern Jeff Buckley soaked in Southern Gothic and Americana. With a new LP ready to go, watch this space." Thx Uncut 🤙 lnk.to/DollbaumDriv...

"Algeria’s Imarhan may be one of tishoumaren’s most dynamic contemporary acts, and on Essam, they only get more interesting." @popmatters.com Read the 9/10 review here: www.popmatters.com/imarhan-plug...

New Imarhan track out today, written by bandmember Sadam’s cousin Eyadou Ag Leche of Tinariwen in memory of his late mother and Sadam's aunt. Essam is out Friday via City Slang, their fourth and my favorite to date. youtu.be/A6SgKWV6nU4

no offense, but may god drop all ICE officers into the deepest pits of hell at once www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/wha...

Life Without Buildings are reuniting for their first show in nearly 25 years

COЯN on Merge, finally. this album's too good, my favorite of her's since The Shape of Your Name.

Gay Easter Parade on Sunday, Sunn O))) on Monday 🐣

do norms use bandsintown and songkick? why or how?

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

New & Notable: Imarhan's latest is a departure from the psychedelic Tuareg guitar-driven sound with the introduction of modular electronic elements.

Hot damn. There's a new Imarhan album out next week for all of the Tuareg guitar music lovers out there. Sadam from Imarhan is the nephew of Edayu from Tinariwen and Sadam has toured with Tinariwen in the past. Looking forward to this.

no one is going to make a better final album, just impossible

i dare an american station to bankroll a season of a Later With Jools Holland-style hourlong program, where 4-6 artists play 1-2 songs each. get elijah wood to host or some shit, i don't care. www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/film-t...

if i were an A&R guy i'd be combing this regional list like crazy, an embarrassment of riches
