Gotta be "was the Grink there"

Woodpecker No. 1

Oddly enough I have a similar origin story - my dad brought home A Change of Seasons because of the Zeppelin covers, and that changed everything for me

Let this radicalize you

This is the good stuff right here

Just hit 2000 albums in my Bandcamp collection. Decided to mark the occasion by finally picking up this album from the wonderful Alastair Galbraith which has been sitting on my wishlist forever.

They Were Playing Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now at the Frozen Custard Place and a Guy Started Singing Along (A Memoir)

If you see this, post a concert photo you took

Great video, and glad we got at least a clip of Here Comes the Snake, a strong contender for the single worst song ever recorded

Tell me that guitar part on Wicked Game ain't shoegaze

Finally some good news

Teo Macero editing Bitches Brew:

Early Music - Old Strings - The ever-dependable Jon Collin brings some collaborators along for some of the most beautiful music of his career. Nicely varied, lovely mid-fi sound... it's gonna be tough to top this one in 2026.

They're playing Hootie & the Blowfish at the Providence Bruins game

Patrick Moraz would never do this

Manfred Eicher every single day since like 1976:

Sy Lyn - Songs About Housework - no idea how I found this one. Maybe it was recommended by @filthythanks.bsky.social ? In any case, this is some deeply weird synth-pop adjacent stuff that sometimes veers into free jazz or tape noise. On Simon Fell's label. Fascinating stuff.

Maybe I'm a bad person but I laughed harder at the recording than I have at anything in a long while

Who knew the government would one day adopt the Tim & Eric aesthetic

In other Bandcamp news, the Australia sub-sub-underground legend Tony McKey has a new release out today. The title is awesome, the cover is awesome, and the music is awesome. Dark drones that slowly reveal the action beneath the surface. tonymckey.bandcamp.com/album/slayer

Currently digging this drone 'n jam release from last year by @nofansrecords.bsky.social nofansrecords.bandcamp.com/album/wrong-...

Bruce Sutter, hall of fame pitcher. I went to school with his nephew.

New JCC album is absolute class - crystal clear and absolutely blasted at the same time. Feels like the future. joshuachuquimiacrampton.bandcamp.com/album/anata

ME: Lord, I just pray that you send a hedge of protection. GOD: Say less.

Since when are there six people in Green Day?

"Super Bowl Sunday is the best of all the Sundays" erm

Dammit Punsxutawney Phil I don't need this right now

Well at least that's something

Mourning Cloak - Beyond - On a deep Discogs dive and behold, a wild @tarotplane.bsky.social appears! This is a dark, spacy folk project from 1999, helmed by one Timothy Renner. Gets nicely far out on the longer tracks.

I asked what their favorite song was and they sent me this gem: youtu.be/MPQLcF00HuQ?...

Literally cannot stop crying 😭

Gonna cheat a little and say Playtime.

Hand in unlovable hand

Jakob Bro - Gefion - Probably my #2 ECM album. Melodic guitar + free rhythm = perfect vibes.

Exactly 10 inches of snow on the ground so far here in SE Mass. Still going strong. Not expected to change over at all. I think we'll be looking at 12-15 when all is said and done, which is on the low end of the forecasts.

Listing Horse Rotorvator for 75 bucks on Amazon Dot Com feels like performance art to me

TIL there was a Michael W Smith on the scene before the CCM singer. Makes me wonder if perhaps the latter's career was actually an elaborate piece of performance art. How would we know?

Somehow this feels like a parable

Letha Rodman Melchior - Handbook for Mortals - very quiet music that's also very heavy. Feels appropriate, given everything.

I guess mine is in a similar format: saw Guided by Voices with the bass player from The Innocence Mission.
