I don't tweet much because this place is bad for my mental health. But I need to start recognizing all the great work everyone's doing in the reviews section. Here's Evan Haga's insightful take on the new Kamasi Washington album: spin.com/2024/04/kamasi…

I wrote about Thom Yorke's haunting new film soundtrack. spin.com/2024/04/thom-y…

Super happy with Ernesto Lechner's list of the best live prog rock albums. Some really interesting choices on here. (I think my own list would have about six of these on it. We *definitely* agree about the top pick.) spin.com/2024/04/the-10…

Also, (*Dee Reynolds voice*) just to be clear, you can still pitch all the other stuff you normally would have: profiles, lists, reviews, The Record Store, irreverent things, etc. Just adding more to the pile!

'The Oral History of 'Lakini's Juice'': willing to write, eager to read

The great Bill Kopp talked to the folks behind one of my favorite shops, Harvest Records. So excited with how this series is coming together. We've covered several countries at this point. (Writers: Keep pitching these, by the way!) spin.com/2024/04/the-re…

It's almost impossible to pick only *10* guitar moments from adrian belew—his catalog is too consistently great and impressively varied. Still, I used this as an excuse to build a Belew Guitar primer, rounding up some of my personal favs. guitarworld.com/features/adria…

It only took me like a few hours at Big Ears Festival to find a new favorite artist: Nik Bärtsch's Ronin. One of my fav shows ever. Spooky, funky, electrifying.

Double dose of good shit in the reviews section today. The always-great Evan Haga also tackled the new Faye Webster. (I can't stop listening to this album. Ridiculously good.) spin.com/2024/03/faye-w…

Read Linnie Greene on Sheer Mag! So good.

The reviews section is (finally) up and running. First we had Ray Cummings' beautiful piece on Mary Timony, and now Ben Salmon tackles one of my personal favs, Friko's debut LP. spin.com/2024/03/friko-…

Reunited with my pals at UltimateClassicRock to write about the heaviest Jethro Tull songs. <3 ultimateclassicrock.com/jethro-tull-he…

What are your favorite recent *vinyl* purchases? I'm talking about the physical products specifically: high-quality pressings, clever packaging, creative artwork that jumps off the racks, etc. (I'm writing something about this subject.) Thanks!
