RIP. Rum, Sodomy and the Lash was the album I turned to the most during the saddest time in my life, no music has ever touched deeper

Talking with Leather.head, one of the most underrated and fiery bands in the world right now. I loved their debut, 'mud again', last year, and they have a bright future
Off the back of an incendiary debut record in 2025, Leather.head speak to Cal Cashin about the importance of keeping things political, uncompromising collaborations with poet Zia Ahmed, the reclamation of emo and more

Relistening to Bill Callahan's Knock Knock in aid of a feature I'm writing. Strange record. Really uneven. A few slow very post-rock dirges. A few indie-disco upbeat tracks. A kids choir. Each track sounds like its from a different album. I love it more than life www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a_X...

s o fucking good. See you all there
I know I say this every year but every year @endoftheroadfestival.com always delivers, but BLIMEY! That might be the greatest line-up in history?
100 more names added to @endoftheroadfestival.com lineup - Super Furry Animals, Kurt Vile, Brakes, Lucinda Williams, and more (but the mystery headliner is still a mystery). Check out the full list: buff.ly/ah2rcDz

I need to hear this so bad
'Sod In Heaven, seeks to bottle a raucous, unpredictable and beguiling live band into an LP. Noise rock, post punk, outsider music and krautrock all crash at the ship’s bough.'

The many membered South London group drag the capital's post-punk scene into strange and scrappy new realms, restlessly documenting England’s deep reserves of residual weirdness

Twice in a row, Prefab Sprout have begun to play as I’ve walked into Tesco. I don’t know what this means, but it is some kind of evidence of A Creator

All time great recommendations in this thread: FWIW, my favourites NOT mentioned are Arthur Verocai's s/t, The Left Banke's Walk Away Renee and Big Black's Songs About Fucking. Making a playlist of /everything/
Looking for: recommendations for your favourite 25-30 minute albums. Tired of listening to three quarters of an album while I walk to my gf’s and then forgetting to finish it

Felt like the perfect suggestion, didn’t factor in that I’d walk at 1.33x pace listening to Slayer. Have to do a lap of the block to hear Raining Blood
