Shoutout to A&M

Weird when artists use Bandcamp to sell physical releases but don’t offer digital, feels like it’s breaking some kind of social contract

So happy there’s a new April Magazine tape

RPPs/Chime School/Wayne Faler show in SF last night was good vibe central, such a great night! 🌹 🌹

Busting some particular Jah Shaka favorites, both with one side of sweet vocals, killer dubs on the other. RIP

In what has to be either last minute or zero promotion Ron Sexsmith is playing Sac tonight at B Street, none of my Sex-heads knew til today anyway, but it’s 50% off tickets w/ “Ron50” code. Trying 2 stay posi & not bummed 4 this Sac treatment of a legend but maybe I’ll cu there

A little overwhelmed at Doug’s passing right now but GOD I’m so glad this interview with him exists. Read it when you have some time. His bohemian confidence in what he was doing with zines at Tower was so rad to work around.

Television “Careful” playing at Goodwill

Comet Gain, the only band I love in the same way as the TVPs, pure pop belief. This comp is such a perfect document of their rough edges. Thanks to Courtesy Desk for making it available stateside!

Repetition: the Fall’s mission statement, my favorite song of theirs, if “this is the the 3 Rs, the 3 Rs, Repetition Repetition Repetition” isn’t genius enough you also get “President Carter loves repetition”

Insane ringwear is such a cherry on top of Jandek records

Slowly making my way through These Things Happen (because frankly I don’t want it to end) and the part about Clare’s fanzine Kvatch where she says “I interviewed Ian McColl, and Peggy Seeger picked me up at the station” is just, damn. What an image! Sarah Records 💙

Going public with my love for the Liam/John Squire record

RPPs killing it in the UK, new Softies, Swiftumz & Chime School records , X (formerly known as Twitter) is giving me positive vibes for the first time in ages 🥳

Impossible to feel down listening to Rogie! I bought a record of his that had this business card inside
