Playlist & playback for today’s It’s a Jangle Out There. jangleoutthere.wordpress.com/2026/05/07/p... @reseraphin.bsky.social @cozyslippers.bsky.social @spencercullum.bsky.social @matthewsigley.bsky.social @bornlosersrecords.bsky.social @chargedwithmichif.bsky.social

’In On It EP’ resists easy categorization, not through overt experimentation but through its commitment to nuance and detail. Miller and Matthews craft a work that engages with its materials thoughtfully, privileging texture, structure, and interplay over immediate impact.

RSTB fave Rob I. Miller returns with a new outfit, Rob & Ellen, pairing with fellow Blues Lawyer Ellen Matthews. The band dips into a ramshackle but resilient form of indie pop, picking at the pores of power pop, scuffing it with seeds of early Lemonheads, solo Dando, & Sugar. bit.ly/48CRlg9

Last track tonight was Rob & Ellen, with a track from their brilliant In On It EP, which has just been releaed on the excellent Take A Turn records. Great stuff!!

My friend Duane (Other Music, WFMU) pointed out to me that this song by San Francisco’s R.E. Seraphin references the guitar part from “(Dee, Dee You’re) Stuck On A Star” by power pop glam G.O.A.T.s Milk ‘N’ Cookies 🙌 (which is maybe why I love it so much) reseraphin.bandcamp.com/track/expend...
