New blog post! Wrote about new records from Dogwood Gap, Via @sugarblastmusic.bsky.social, and Blue Zero, plus a compilation of Australian shoegaze from 4000 Records @4000.bsky.social:

Lebanese sextet SANAM's 'Sametou Sawtan' transforms 12th-century poetry and contemporary texts into experimental rock that captures the intensity of their cult-like recording sessions and the existential weight of living under constant threat.

David Cross folks.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

thank you @madaecnerwal.bsky.social - now we gotta work on your algorhythm!

It’s gotten to the point where I’m retweeting Chris Hayes

Oh, a few more things: the Avalon Lounge is a fantastic venue; another #Dromfest highlight was the ever-changing Seve Keene exhibit (I finally got a Keene!); and I misnamed the band French? above, sorry guys

Dromedary Records' Dromfest music festival returns with Yo La Tengo, Sunburned Hand of Man, Das Damen and more indie rock titans across five venues.

I like resign or be primaried. Can we just go right there instead of a hollow apology demand?

Lovely review of The Whimbrels’ debut by @jenpkelly.bsky.social

Just like that, Saturday tickets are all gone. Can I draw your attention to Friday’s excellent bill, or the fantastic lineup for Sunday?

Can’t say enough great stuff about @rosyoverdrive.com - excellent review of The Whimbrels’ debut LP here

OUT TODAY! the debut LP from NYC’s The Whimbrels. Get your copy from finer indie record stores, or from the link in our bio.

The Whimbrels' debut album features a triple-guitar assault that turns volume into art. Arad Evans + Norman Westberg discuss their band's obsession with alternate tunings, cheap guitars, and making audiences feel the floor move. Banging + Jangling with The Whimbrels: @sugarblastmusic.bsky.social

Now, this is badass. If true, I salute all the tow-truck drivers in and around the LA area. Well done! #Resist #Persist #GetInvolved

Dispatch from Kingston, NY, where over 20% of the city population took to the streets to protest ⬇️

TONIGHT AT 10 we'll try and briefly forget the fact that federal agents are disappearing our neighbors & have a radio show. Instead, we'll use the airwaves that we have (at least for now) and our free speech to list a narrow and carefully-scrutinized list of musical artists. Tune in, it'll be fun.

Scrawl, New Radiant Storm King, Beth Kaplan from Salem 66… Vehicle Flips reunion?! Just… the whole damn lineup. (HT Maria T) dromedary-records.com/announcing-d...

Tickets are on sale now and space is limited

Dromfest '25 lineup announcement is tomorrow. Watch this space.

We shot a very funny episode of "Have I Got News For You" tonight. I went into it thinking tariffs wouldn't be funny. I was wrong. Our guests @karenchee.bsky.social and @rokhanna.bsky.social were both funny and awesome. Airs tomorrow night on CNN.
