I bade farewell to the peerless, fearless, thoughtful and thankful Sly Stone. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

Sly Stone was a trailblazer who changed the course of music – and an icon of both hope and pain | Stevie Chick

With the Family Stone, Sly was so audacious it was hard to believe his brilliance could ever be exhausted – making his unravelling all the more painful to watch

I get deep under the skin of Prince's Around The World In A Day for the new issue of MOJO! Just absolutely tonnes of other great stuff in there too!!

John Mulvey @johnmulvey.bsky.social · 11h

Well, this is quite an issue. A CD of unheard John & Yoko. An exclusive, substantial new Springsteen interview. Prince, Miles, Lucinda Williams, Hendrix, Replacements, Brigitte Fontaine, Congos, Mavis Staples. Such good, diverse writing. Such rich design. It's a classic @mojomagazine.bsky.social 1/2

Party donor Nick Candy says "I cherish the values we grew up with here in the West. But today you are more likely to find the values we grew up with in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.’

The UAE is an authoritarian autocracy, a petro-state with no income tax for citizens, to bribe them for the lack of democratic voice or free speech

It is 85% migrant, a segregated society with a ban on integration in principle and practice, few rights, equal opportunities, nor voice for incomers

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

Like, when I read this I finally realised why my Sebadoh interview for Melody Maker 20 years earlier had been such an awks experience (Lou and Jake were LOVELY when I did them for #1 of Loose Lips some years afterwards, tho) www.vice.com/en/article/s...

How ‘The Sebadoh’ Killed Sebadoh

Twenty years later, 90s indie rock icons Lou Barlow and Jason Loewenstein reflect on the tumultuous times surrounding their ill-fated and short-lived major label record deal.

Yeah, that one is magnificent. Also love Love Is Stronger and Sorry, of the Lou songs. Boy, he was one messed-up lil puppy when they made this record!

The Hunches are pop music, Phil

TBH my favourite songs on The Sebadoh are all Jake songs! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtPm...

It would be tomorrow's breakfast soundtrack but I believe it's one of the few LPs Sarah has a veto on

Stevie Chick @steviechick.bsky.social · 1d

I still believe it's one of the greatest albums of all time

I think this might be my favourite Sebadoh album, which I realise is an unpopular opinion and even as I type it my own brain is screaming at me, "BAKESALE!", but I do love The Sebadoh LP so much

Then I saw these guys "liberate" Stevie Ray Vaughn's guitar from its frame in a Texas Hard Rock Cafe and it's like, I cannot take the Strokes seriously anymore, the stakes in this arms race have gone NUCLEAR. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xbM...
