… not a complete list (of course), but here’s some relatively obscure German post punk and new wave on Bandcamp. I love this stuff! If I missed anything, leave a link in the comments.

… words I never imagined myself saying: Bill Kristol writes a very good newsletter! It’s true.
Totally Brazen. Comically Corrupt. Painfully Dumb.
Trump’s mask-off economic doctrine is on full display: Riches for friends, pain for enemies. Is it any wonder business leaders are falling in line?

Miguel A. García & Frans de Waard - Interior Sounding II

A swansong of sorts.
Manipulated electromagnetic recordings and household minutiae.
Intimate, immersive and dynamic. A calculated drama and sense of stark menace kept at bay...

Exciting news: Phantom Limb Label has released 3 volumes that collect early 80s tapes by K.Yoshimatsu! This (and anything on DD.Records) ought to be on the radar of all obscure cassette-culture and Japanese noise fans. I haven’t bought these yet but I plan to. #minimal #noise #japan

…. Max Eastman (aka Tantric Death, the guy behind Tribe Tapes) + Tommy Cox/tac, a damn legend whose music defies description. This #cassette is aggressive, dense, chaotic and raw… churning loops and high-volume physical #noise mess. Perfect! In the top 10 of 2025 for sure.
