Today on WFMU: On Blurred and Obscured with Jonathan Herweg, a live on-studio set from Joshua Treed based guitar explorer Derek Monypeny. Tune in to hear Derek's patented blend of improv guitar excursions, psychedelic drones, and primitive experimental folk (10 p.m. ET).

This great article includes a nice review of the Corsano Baiza Watt Trio LP I put out on my label - copies of the 2nd pressing still available!

Awesome to see this label profile on Beirut's Ruptured Records - one of the best labels in the world!

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Every educational, academic, and cultural institution in Gaza where I studied, worked, or attended a conference or event—every theater, every archive, every historic landmark and site—has been completely destroyed. They no longer exist.

Thanks Emmanuel - I'm not in India rn, but I was there at this time last year and put this audio diary together - enjoy

happy birthday, bassman!! www.thatrecordgotmehigh.com/guests/mike-...

Was great hearing Chuck wail through my dung-brown 1978 Tele

Correct. Truman tried to create a national healthcare system around the same time that European nations were making theirs. It was killed by Dixiecrats because it would have required integrated hospital facilities.

2nd pressing now available! Thanks to everyone who helped sell out the 1st pressing. If you were late to the party, we got you. corsanobaizawatttrio.bandcamp.com/album/corsan...

I'm a big Rachel Lichtman fan

Reading Jennifer Lucy Allen's EOY picks @ The Quietus and again I'm struck with this thought: nobody writes with more genuine passion and insight about weird music, or has better/broader/weirder taste in weird music, than she does. Maybe ever? JLA=GOAT

rec of the day: DEREK MONYPENNY "the oppositional imagination" (debacle LP) drifty, weird, electronics-laced soundscapes by this excellent desert guitarist. the more i play it the deeper it worms its way into my head. roll yourself a fat one & dig in. derekmonypeny.bandcamp.com/album/the-op...
