Produced by Mitch Easter & Don Dixon, Murmur remains, according to music journalist Tim Peacock, “one of the most compelling and otherworldly debut albums in rock history.” Share your Murmur memories in the comments.

Coachella Saturday (20 years ago)

We got lotsa jazz this week!

I love that Friko allow their music to be huge and messy and pretentious and cathartic in a very 2000s indie rock way. Their explosive new album is one of the best of this year. I talked to them about it:

Thanks for reading this and for all the warm feedback. Sometimes you work hard on something and it just disappears into the void, so I don’t take the affirmation here for granted.

46 years ago on April 5, 1980, the band played their first show. Sandra-Lee Phipps took these photos that historic night in Athens at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church on Oconee Street.

We're *super* excited that our 30th anniversary reissue of "A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness" is out TODAY! It's a glorious blend of sumptuous indiepop with fuzzy organs, motorik excursions and ambient interludes. Bold, brilliant, and totally timeless. rocketship.bandcamp.com/album/a-cert...

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Hi everyone! As I’m sure you’ve heard, it’s Bandcamp Friday, which means 100% of Bandcamp sales today go directly to artists! With a Perennial UK tour next week & lots of exciting stuff in store after that, your support is so incredibly appreciated & so very helpful! perennialtheband.bandcamp.com

Scottish Opera offers hugely discounted tickets to people under the age of 26. In fact most of the theatres here do, usually for around £10. Which means you could see a whole live show for less than the cost of a ticket to one of Timothee Chalamet’s films. Just saying.

The youth will save us, art will save us, music will save us.

Listened to "Lonesome Is A State Of Mind" this morning, that track is fire. music.apple.com/ca/album/lon...

That’s why Slow Horses works. The humor pulls you in, but the tradecraft feels believable. Intelligence work is often messy, bureaucratic, and human, and the show actually leans into that reality. #SlowHorses #SpyCraft #Espionage #MI5 #intelligence theconversation.com/slow-horses-...
