One of my fave genres is Not Exactly Christmas Music But Certainly Adjacent. The sisters’ album from 1978 (their last as a duo and Shirley’s last before a loooong hiatus) features an actual Xmas number in German Tune. Don’t see many OG Topic Records in the bins here, btw! Proper winter tunes!

Very unusual opportunity to crack open the seal of this 1970 UK jazz classic. (Excerpts from the weighty tome Galactic Ramble)

I can’t tell you why it took me two years(?) to finally PLAY this record but WOWEE is it doing it for me. Like the Cocteau Twins were a UK folk band. Yeah this is gonna be glued to my turntable this winter.

Put my “don’t leave a produced by Mitch Easter” record rule to the test for this Aussie jangle-stomp fuzz late 80s classic.

I’m but an enthusiastic n00b when it comes to comics…so my understanding of the medium is still a wet cement. But what W. Maxwell Prince and @martinmorazzo.bsky.social are doing with this series and this issue in particular are really scrambling my brain…in a really fun way. Bring on the finale!

This cover is shit and lazy. But within its contents are 13 versions of Beatles songs I’ve never heard before. For that I can put aside my misgivings and old man grumbles and just be thankful. Going in…

It’s a good week when mail from
@slumberlandrecords.com arrives! Newie from Tony Molina! Eschews heavy fuzz of past in favor of 12 string arpeggios. Same MO in play tho: catchy as fuck songs that are generally in/out around a minute. Efficient! (Bonus pts for Kaleidoscope & Nico cover-laden flexi!)

When @reiddossinger.com and @kevinalvir.bsky.social both coincidentally recommend the same band to you in the same week you listen. Sharp Pins is the nom de plume of a preternaturally talented Chicago indie kid (he of Lifeguard). Guided By Beatles? Yes please!

Once long ago I was listening to a Velvet Crush album & I thought to myself “more like this please”. That’s how learned that the guy from Lilac Time fronted Velvet Crush and made this spiritual cousin?! Now I have 2 faves! And when @petepaphides.bsky.social created his label I was like “I see you!”

The conclusive issue of this miniseries sucked the life out of me. The Garth Ennis story is daaa-aaark. I hear he likes it that way. The art is astounding.
