my year end list is here but you gotta subscribe 😉

From drizzly digital grunge to jackhammering club music, lo-fi guitar explorations to glacial jazz standards, this is the music that moved me most this year.

in light of Pitchfork’s extremely correct AOTY pick, here’s my interview with Joshua Chuquimia Crampton from August about some of Los Thuthanaka’s influences

From Bolivian charangueada to Japanese heavy metal, these are the productions that inspire the visionary guitarist.

Material - “Square Dance” (1981), sounds pretty much exactly like Moin in 2025

one nice thing about running your own small publication is you can say "what if I just talk to Doug McCombs about Bass VI for a while" and no one objects

Bassist and multi-instrumentalist Douglas McCombs has made the cult-favorite Bass VI a staple of the post-rock legends’ palette.

in my case, the answer is, "through mutual friends, we ended up playing together in a short-lived Modest Mouse cover band in 2024." deeply stoked to read this piece
No pun intended but mark my word very soon you will find yourself explaining at parties exactly how and when you first heard the name Mark Iosifescu… you could do a lot worse than “on Thomas Pynchon for n+1”

someone just fav'd this five years later, a reminder that you used to be able to get decent engagement just by small-talking into the ether about Ethan Miller side projects... what they took from us
on the one hand i'm enjoying this bit of warm weather, on the other i'm ready for it to turn so that heron oblivion listening season can continue as scheduled

in the 5 days since I published this story Wild Pink's streaming profiles have already been hijacked with another godawful AI fake song. this shit is really out of control.
A list of recent targets includes Uncle Tupelo, Sophie, Blaze Foley, and Wild Pink. What is going on here? https://t.co/o9SpHAFZQS

I bartend nearish to Barclays Center, where Tame Impala is playing tonight. one of my regulars, a hilarious and grizzled dude in his 60s who’s been in the neighborhood forever, trying to come up with their name which he’d heard earlier in the evening, landed on Flame Antenna

should @WildPinkNYC change his Spotify password? @hearingthingsco talking to John Ross about the influx of AI music (spoiler alert... it's not good for Independent Music) read below ⤵️ https://t.co/IR22mwp6Fy & also buy music -

“Do you still believe it?” John Ross asks that question after journeying through the wreckage. The genesis of Dulling The Horns goes back to late 2022, when Ross began workshopping new material...

across mediums, lots of serious work is also funny. humor is just as deep and mysterious and valuable as any other quality of art. things can be sad and funny, even horrifying and funny, at the same time. i'm an easy laugher and i will not be shamed out of my delight!
