I got one side of a cassette perfectly filled with no gaps… and the tape broke. So I had to pivot to a blank C90 cassette. Then I (re)discovered that many 90-minute cassettes are actually more like 95-minute cassettes, because the manufacturers added a few extra minutes to each side. So this half-finished mixtape — […]

Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions @ Big Ears 2026It’s been just about a week since I set off for Knoxville’s Big Ears festival … and the whole thing still feels like some weird/beautiful fever dream. Now safely back in my civilian life, I keep thinking to myself: “Did that really happen?!” But happen it did! What a wild, overstuffed experience, packed to the gills with unreal music and friends old and new. I’m not sure I could even begin to sum it up, but you can get some hint of what went down...

The Last SuppurationOut 13th March on Extremely Rotten Productions/Unholy Domain/Sevared Records Protrusion punt for a mix of early 90s Floridian death metal and early Gorguts (who were to be fair, also a Morrisound alumni). This results in a pleasingly authentic rerun of percussive death metal as it augments the choppier elements of thrash into a... Continue Reading →
Last night was the full moon so how about a moon song from Cat Clyde? 🎵
It’s overdriven pop vs. minimalist country as Ash takes on Gillian Welch Note: As many of you saw, I recently wrote about a Best Record of 2001 challenge and noted that I’d be writing some of these up. The plan is to do quick hits on each first-round matchup and post them directly to the […]
A delightful and emotional rendition of three rather different works. Mark-Anthony Turnage's "Three Screaming Popes" was a chaotic cacophony. Wild, bizarre, inventive, and seemingly driven by excess. A fascinating performance, although not one I'll put on in the background. Turnage himself took to the stage to bask in the applause. Bartók's Violin Concerto No. 1. Reading the story behind the …
An unexpected follow-up to my blog post about the relationship between music and the cities from 2019.

I've been mucking about with sampling TikTok for ages. This time I added some vocals and I think it really makes a difference.

"Wagon Wheel" by Old Crow Medicine Show Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio element. A song by a band whose merchandise you've bought - what was the merchandise My last concert was Old Crow Medicine Show in Winston Salem and I bought a t-shirt of course. Wagon Wheel is the unofficial state song of NC. A little known fact - Bob Dylan gets half the royalties and a co-writers credit. Dylan recorded the chorus in 1973 while OCMS added verses 25 years later. View Lou Plum...

Squeeze “What More Can I Say” Squeeze’s new record Trixies was written well before the band existed, back when Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook were teenagers in the mid-1970s. The record, a concept album about a nightclub set in the far-off 1980s, was shelved and the band pivoted to the new wave-adjacent sound of their […]
Yours for the taking.
L.A.-based trio SY3 join Amsterdam’s Music From Memory for a 5-track EP. The majority of the songs showcased shimmy in the same sleek, stripped back, bass heavy territory as the music made by Test Pressing’s Apiento – with Lexx (as Leisure Dub) and Andrew Hale (as Open Space) – and Spiritual World’s sisterly duo, T3AL.

"I love loud music in desert bars, especially on a jukebox, and throughout the '90s, which was when I worked on this book, such establishments were plentiful."
Music I’ve bought in March. Hey! After a couple of slow months, I finally bought a whole bunch of new albums. I bought the Black & Blue box set: It’s fun reading the reviews of this set, because they all add exactly the same sentence somewhere: “Of course, this is nobody’s favourite Stones album, but…” … Continue reading March Music
