Cool article. Glad they highlight Geologist's experience with the instrument. Also check out Geo putting that amplified hurdy-gurdy to work as 1/3 of Motherfuckers JMB & Co. motherfuckersjmb.bandcamp.com/album/music-...

Aesop Rock's "Labor Days" just turned 25. @paulxt.bsky.social wrote a brilliant essay about the career trajectory of the artist born Ian Bavitz, the passing of time, the early 00s underground, "Daylight," and why Marx failed to adequately account for Scribble Jam. www.powmag.net/p/the-2001-p...

Leaving Las Vegas Was here for a conference but even so this visit has confirmed that I no longer have the desire to plan trips here like I did in my 20s. Give me South Beach for a sun-drenched US destination anyday.

Sunday Listening 🎧 Nation of Language - Tougher Than the Rest b/w The Conversation (2026) Cover of a Springsteen track I'm not familiar with but it's great synthpop as always from NOL. My first copy was badly off-center and unlistenable. Shout out Sub Pop for replacing!

Do you ever look at the bandcamp page of an album you are currently spinning on vinyl and then get confused when you can't adjust the volume from your phone?

Sleeper pick for rock aoty, recency bias be damned. Kiss the Boot & Love Again sound like Lou Reed or the Stones at their most twangy with a heavy dose of Dire Straits guitars. Green Meadows of England sounds like a lost gem from The Kinks.

Was at a board meeting earlier. A guy who has been an empty chair for nine months - either hasn't shown up or didn't contribute anything of value - now suddenly has a lot to say about the woman who was recently promoted to COO.

Sunday Listening 🎧 Perennial - Modernism (2026) There's a lot of great rock music this year but none I've heard that's as unabashedly fun as Modernism. Retro call & response punk from New England. Excellent running soundtrack!
