I didn’t realize there was a hole in my life that only Aaron Turner howling over glossy ‘80s synth rock could fill. This is preposterous and awesome. pharaohoverlord.bandcamp.com/track/arms-o...

Was birding in Green-wood Cemetery today and almost stepped on someone’s cremains that had just been, like, spread over the roots of a tree. Turns out cemeteries really hate it when you do that.

I completely missed that a new Tubs album is coming out Friday. If ridiculously catchy jangle pop sung by a darkly needy unreliable narrator sounds like your bag, give it a peep. thetubs.bandcamp.com/album/hard-l...

Was very excited to read a new Great Falls album is coming. The preview track is everything I wanted - Demian's anguished howl, Shane's cement mixer bass, and a song structure that keeps you guessing til the end. greatfalls.bandcamp.com/album/the-bi...

Going through @philipsherburne.bsky.social's latest Futurism Restated newsletter, and this really took me by surprise - Bill Orcutt and a gaggle of musicians turning 'Louie Louie' into a transcendent drone freakout. Stick with it and you will be rewarded. fakeestates.bandcamp.com/album/four-l...

JJ and crew nailed it on this one. Antioch Arrow chaos. Minutemen terseness and heart. Mission of Burma jaggedness. Just top notch from start to finish.

I got very emotional seeing this post. Franklin was the first band that truly felt like they were 'mine'. I had art with Brian in HS, beat Greg in a spelling bee once, hung with Ralph probs outside a Wawa, cheered them on at shows, and eagerly ate up everything they put out. This is worth your time.

Was psyched as hell to find out a new One Leg One Eye album is coming. It’s Ian Lynch from Lankum’s ambient, drone-y, black metalish folk side project. onelegoneeye.bandcamp.com/album/crone

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday

Some transgender Kansans said they had received the letters from the Department of Revenue. Others hadn’t by Wednesday evening.

In his latest newsletter, @philipsherburne.bsky.social says this album goes down "like a dose of bottled sunshine." I don't disconcur. If you like ambling, sun-dappled motorik excursions aided by some hazy synth magic, this will banish your winter blahs. naturalmagic.bandcamp.com/album/ii?sea...
