A must-read, from the always brilliant @jiggyraps.bsky.social

Music makes it better - so treat yourself to some “rock” from Charli xcx, the first-ever solo cut from Beastie Boys’ Mike D, transcendent sounds from Boards of Canada and more, all on this wk’s All Songs Considered from @npr.org w/ @totalvibration.bsky.social ❤️ www.npr.org/2026/05/12/n...

The Olivia Rodrigo and Peter Gabriel cuts have been ricocheting around in my brain all week. Also think the NiN version of “Heresy” with Boys Noize is better than the original. 👀 That and more on this wk’s show from @npr.org and @hazelcills.bsky.social ❤️ www.npr.org/2026/04/28/n...

I can confirm.

Feel like you could swap the chorus to Olivia Rodrigo's "Drop Dead" with the chorus to The Proclaimer's "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)"? Oh, one night I was bored in bed... and I would walk 500 more... it's fem-i-nine in-tu-i-tion... to fall down at your door.

We talked about the surprise/stunning new Boards of Canada cut on this wk's show and speculated about a possible album. Looks like we ARE getting one, called 'Inferno,' out May 29. Eeeee! www.npr.org/2026/04/21/n...

Prediction: Yr new favorite band is about to be mary in the junkyard, on this wk’s All Songs Considered from @npr.org, along with the stunning/surprise return of Boards of Canada, some colossal rock from Jack White, more. W/the incomparable @jiggyraps.bsky.social ❤️ www.npr.org/2026/04/21/n...

Beck is back! On this special ep of All Songs Considered from @npr.org talk about his glorious new song, "Ride Lonesome." ❤️

It's the season for renewal - and music's a real player here. The right song at the right time can be a powerful reset button. This wk's All Songs Considered from @npr.org has a whole bunch of tracks to help. With @doralevite.bsky.social and Noah Caldwell ❤️ www.npr.org/2026/04/14/n...

This new Jungle cut has been giving me life this wk. The Quiet Light track is the discovery of the week, and José González has never sounded better. Also, Tom gets me to love Tanya Tagaq, shares a Gabriel Kahane concept piece that’s like a David Lynch movie, and more. ❤️ www.npr.org/2026/04/07/n...

Noah Kahan is gonna have a very big year. And Olivia Rodrigo's Magnetic Fields cover is sublime. Hear those and more new songs to reconfigure your day on this wk's show ❤️ w/ @doralevite.bsky.social from @npr.org

Can't tell you how magical this one was.

If you need a reminder that the world is a good place full of good people trying to do good things, listen to Max Richter's "All Human Beings" (and more) from this wk's show. @npr.org ❤️ w/ @totalvibration.bsky.social

Not in the mood, Connections. Not in the mood…

Lars and I got pretty snarky re the Grammys on this wk's show, but I have to say doing an in memoriam to "War Pigs" is a baller move. And it's a pretty crushing cover. Post Malone - not an obvious choice, but he nails it. (Maybe just swap out Watt w/St. Vincent) www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAgw...

Hearing Beck’s sublime cover of “Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime” for the first time in maybe 20 years made everything better - also madly in love with the Friko and Asher White; plus @totalvibration.bsky.social shares some fab discoveries, including the one song that sets the stage for 2026. ❤️

Such a fun walk down memory lane with @idislikestephen.bsky.social & @annkpowers.bsky.social ❤️ www.npr.org/2026/01/20/n...
