Chimers last night at Union Pool. They are a very good band.

Lots of great new records out this week. If you know me you probably know how much i ❤️ Major Stars and somehow they keep making me love them more majorstars.bandcamp.com/album/more-c...

The WaWa / Sheetz debate is mostly tired bullshit, however I have never Galaxie 500 in a WaWa.

Crossed a long time internet celebrity crush off the list. Got to hang out (and inadvertently share my breakfast with. I WAS warned and still, she caught me with my guard down and was able to quickly capitalize on my carelessness) A+ doggie, the wonderful Toody.

I just heard that Billy Stump A.K.A. Billy Synth passed away last week. An absolute unsung hero of psychedelic garage music through both his own music and the Psychedelic Unknowns comps. Both of these LPs are still available and if you don’t have them you should fix that ASAP

Ed Kuepper & Jim White - LA and NYC shows this November, supported by Mick Harvey 11/4 - 2220 Arts & Archives, Los Angeles 11/17 - TV Eye, NYC tickets on sale August 23 at feel presents.com or via the venues.

People! Do not miss these shows! “After The Flood” remains at the top of the heap of records that have made a dent in my brain this year and these shows are a twice in a lifetime event for the people of North America. + some guy named Mick Harvey will play.

Tom Lax from Siltbreeze has been a guest on @bturneroverdrive.bsky.social radio shows many times over the years and it always an amazing listen of ultra obscure and wild stuff. Always mandatory listening. This time I even recognize/ have a few podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I like this @tenthcourt.bsky.social youtu.be/wWfeWzrKX8Y

Finally back in the physical realm, Cheater Slicks “Don’t Like You” is now a double LP with all of the demos as well. Some of these songs have been released as singles, but it is so great to have them all collected here. intheredrecords.com/collections/...

Full album out today. Heavy Fall vibes from the cover, but still an appropriate soundtrack to melt to mattjencik.bandcamp.com/album/never-...

The best record of last year came out in mid-December so maybe you missed it? It could be your favorite record of this year. sewerheads.bandcamp.com/album/despai...

So much promo babble is about listing cool bands in hopes that you will check out the sounds, and often a let down. Michael Beach has arrived at a sound that is true to his influences but truly incorporates them into something fresh, new and great. michaelbeach.bandcamp.com/album/big-bl...

Matt has been releasing crucial records for some time & this collaboration with Midwife is a fantastic addition to both of their catalogs. mattjencik.bandcamp.com/album/never-...
