The most essential aspect of writing is to hold deep and unshakable feeling of shame for every string of words you manage to thread together, followed by suicidal embarrassment

I wonder if Nick Levine realizes that his pedal steel playing in Pinegrove is responsible for the instruments now-essential inclusion in the hottest indie music these days. Waxahatchee, the whole Wednesday-MJ LENDERMAN circle of artists (all hugely indebted to Xandy Chelmis’ phenomenal spirit)

The new Friendship deserves as much attention as MJ Lenderman’s ‘Manning Fireworks’ got last year. Breezy but dense with some road-honed musicianship, and Dan Wriggins’ poetic explorarions of the everyday are the sharpest theyve ever been. Run, dont walk: friendshipphl.bandcamp.com/album/cavema...

“Listicles” gotta be the lowest form of journalism and some writers entire careers are made from them. Oooh an arbitrary ranking. They’re never interesting!

Cannot for the life of me understand the appeal of Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band. Sardonic without being smart, loquacious lyricism to the point of absurdity. And seeing him live, sheesh. He literally could not play his guitar!

New Turnstile is fun, but can we please stop calling them a hardcore band? This is textbook pop hard rock. ‘Seeing Stars/Birds’ could’ve been a Limp Bizkit b-side, let’s be serious

People are going to speak on Jim-E Stack with the same vitriol they attack Jack Antonoff for his supposed influence on the production of the uber-pop girlies of the past decade for the last Bon Iver, that mediocre new Lorde single, and god knows what he has next. And this time, they might be right!

New Bon Iver is a sleeper without a hit. Im glad Justin Vernon is comfortable now that the Taylor Swift royalties are steady paydays, but not nothing kills that K-fueled creative spark like the insistent ennui of financial security. And Jim-E Stack, apparently!

Beach House has long been my sonic comfort for long winters. When those first few signs of spring show their heads, phenomenal tracks like ‘Sparks’ seem to go dormant, ready again to warm on those long, nighttime walks home in the below-freezing chill.

The key to psychologically persevering through social downturns like the one we’re quickly sliding into is a personal curiosity to study, an ever growing stack of books, and an exceptionally loud stereo

Genuinely amusing that the reactionary position to the massively successful three decade-long trend towards globalization is an autarkic movement in the US that’s divorced from the economic zeitgeist and will fundamentally alter the global economy for a century or more
