-Got to see Water Damage recently, and I don’t think any album could capture the relentless power of their live drone. But this one is a great place to start. -YHWH Nailgun is doing something unique with raw abandon. That goes a long way with me. -RIP Roy Ayers. The mf’n realest.

I was prepared to hate this review, but then it got super nice at the end! Thanks to the the man with the kind face @jchaplinsky.bsky.social for taking a chance on Troll. You’re not the first person to tell me it’s something of an antidote to Fuccboi. @whiskeytit.com

Stop by the @whiskeytit.com booth 563 at #AWP and pick up an ultra-limited preview copy of @davidscotthay.bsky.social’s latest mindbreaker: The Butcher of Nazareth (official release - Feb. 2026). If you check the fine print on that badass cover, you'll notice that I wrote the introduction!

-that dog. are so in the pocket for me I'm honestly shocked I'd never heard of them 'til now -Merope so sparkly!💎🤩💎 -Trees > Forest > Woods -Earth vs. The Wildhearts is incredibly stupid fun. Killer songwriting about being the asshole at the party. Like if Gn'R went full punk

Holy shit! Had an outpatient procedure today and woke up to this. Am I dreaming? Am I in Oz? What a dazzling, humbling slate of writers to see my name among. Huge thanks to James Nulick and @anxietypress.bsky.social including me in this murderer’s row. 🔥🖤

-Great Falls is some mathy-ass hardcore. Makes me wanna mosh at weird angles. Fuck up my back. -I don't want to oversell Jellyfish, but it's giving Freddy Mercury doing Brian Wilson songs with ELO. Crazy fun. -Saffron Bloom is some sexy-ass dub. Makes me wanna give back massages.

Lotta folks I admire posting resource lists of late. For anyone seeking insight into the growing threat of Christian Nationalism & the evangelical right, here’s a solid primer. Armstrong in particular is an international treasure @jasonachristian.bsky.social @whiskeytit.com @videstellae.bsky.social

-RIP Porridge Radio. You never wasted our time -Syclops is one of the best electronic artists I've come across in a minute. Shimmery, complex and eminently danceable -Starting to come around on Boldy James -The Pangaea/Agharta back-2-back listening experience never, ever gets old

-New work schedule means a 30-scrob is now the weekly baseline. -In the past 2 weeks, closed out the colossal catalogues of both Curren$y and Blu. What ultraprolific rapper should I do next (Czarface, AJ Suede, and Estee Nack were other recent obsessions). Help me fall in love!

-45-album week. I might have a problem. -Uniform saw what was coming for this country, and they made music accordingly🖤 -New FKA Twigs makes me wanna go sweat it all out on the dancefloor ❤️‍🔥 - Listened to Sadness and it actually made me feel kinda better. Check out Sadness.💜

-This was a real chill Scrob. Except for Yowie. Yowie is as not chill as the other 15 albums are chill combined. -Nucleus is making me rethink fusion. Damn them. -Not sure how I’d never heard that Pharoah Sanders/Bill Laswell collab before, but it’s mysterious and gorgeous.

-Prostitute makes me wanna set shit on fire! -As previously tweeted, I am all in on Ethel Cain -If there were a Devil's deal to be made at the crossroads a la Robert Johnson, but for infectious pop hooks instead of blues guitar, I believe The Lemon Twigs made that deal -Nico's The End goes so hard

-17x2! The rarest and most beautiful of all Scrobs -Billy Bang's solo on "Dark Silhouette" is unlike anything I've ever heard on a jazz record -No. 1 Angel still lowkey my fave Charli -Tomorrow in a Year is the sound of a project outgrowing its name -We need more album covers like Snakehips Etcetera

-Been getting back into sad bastard music in a big way the past month. Don't see that trend abating anytime soon. -If pop music has a canon, Laura Nyro is a saint. -3 of my all-time favorite jazz records along that bottom row. Sun Ra traipsing the desert. Herbie in space.

-Edward Fortyscrobs -The H&F Recordings Box was so lovely - cratedigger folk of the highest order -How is Ellington’s Nutcracker Suite not a ubiquitous Christmas album classic? -McCoy Tyner’s ecstatic heights + Freddie Hubbard’s metropolitan lower depths makes for 2 hours of 🔥

"Can't get enough" he says. "Never laughed so hard" he says. The perfect Christmas gift for anyone on your list this holiday season, he heavily implies. Humorless liberal. Stuffy conservative. Children. The elderly. Troll is a big tent. All are welcome. @whiskeytit.com @hvbooknerd.bsky.social

-5x6 -Some all-time weirdo faves on the long road home from Nebraska. If you've never heard Fly, Fly My Sadness or Pass the Distance, these are two albums I will be foamily thrusting at people until the day I die. -Likewise, Sunn O))) and Desertshore go great with some desolate winter plains.
