The last few days have brought with them some serious nineties nostalgia. So it's fitting that Weezer released a video for their new single, "We Might As Well Be Strangers." The song represents a return to the form for the prolific but not always consistent band. Perhaps the best part of the song and the...
With Life in Small Spaces, the upcoming album from Black Marble, the project's creator, Chris Stewart, taps into one of my semi-obsessions. The album's description on its Bandcamp page has further details on the clue we are given with the album title. It is an invitation to accept and consciously agree to a more minimal...

Ας είμαστε ειλικρινείς, όσο και αν πονάει. Μετά το “Resurrection” του μακρινού 2000, τα υπόλοιπα άλμπουμ που ακολούθησαν, δεν προσέγγισαν ούτε στο ελάχιστο το μεγαλείο των αγαπημένων μου VENOM. Σίγουρα υπήρχαν και άλμπουμ με πολύ καλές στιγμές (“Metal black”, “Fallen angels”, “From the very depths”) αλλά και άλμπουμ σκέτη απογοήτευση, όπως τα “Hell” και “Storm […]

What Attendees will Learn
Niko Stratis writes about the comfort of physical media and older technology. Let us suffer no worries or troubles, we have salvation in our walkmen and their analogue batteries. Never mind the truth of these eras, the 90s and the days before and after are years often cast in imperfect light as moments in time...
And more fine dining.
Olly, the developer of the Pagecord blogging software, just published a post on something I was thinking about with regards to music. I’m not buying a lot of physical media these days, but when I do, it’s usually CDs. I just went to a new record store called Hunky Dory that just opened downtown near...
Shelly Ridenour penned an article for Qobuz on the stellar alternative albums from 1991. One observation that I found particularly poignant from having grown up during this period was around the change that Nirvana’s Nevermind brought to mainstream music with regard to gender dynamics. Within a couple of months, the album was a hit, people...
Die Wiederveröffentlichung der ursprünglich ende letzten Jahres erschienenen Hello, Mr. Operator EP der New Yorker Elektropunks Hand Helds auf dem australischen Label Grog Records lies mich mal echt aufhorchen. Ein kurzer Blick auf ihr Bandcamp-Profil offenbart dann nicht nur dass es bereits einen Nachfolger zu der EP gibt, sondern auch eine Band, die offenbar schon […]
Everyone has been posting about the Aadam Jacobs collection. Since I love indie music from the 90’s, I’m certainly going to spend some time with the massive 10,000 live recordings collection. I went to the page on the Internet Archive and one of the first recordings I saw was neo-classical band Rachel’s at Lounge Ax....

One of my greatest joys in 2026 has been the release of new material by British riot twee band Heavenly. I’ll admit I approached the release of this year’s brilliantly named Highway to Heavenly LP with a certain amount of skepticism. After decades of radio silence, it’s hard to know what to expect from a...
Charlotte Cornfield is the latest musician to put out something via Durham, NC’s Merge Records. Hurts Like Hell is also the first long player by the Canadian singer/songwriter since becoming a mother. The title track, “Hurts Like Hell,” wallows in a remembered sentimentality with the advantage of looking at difficulty in the rearview mirror. We...
Widowspeak has a new record coming this June and produced a video for the lead single, “If You Change.” I first heard the band when they covered Dire Straits' "Romeo and Juliet," a song that never landed with me previously. Widowspeak won me over with the wistful tenderness they gave their treatment of the track. “If You Change” is also sweet and tender with a chorus that implores, “if you…

Hurts Like Hell is also the first long player by the Canadian singer/songwriter since becoming a mother. The title track, “Hurts Like Hell,” wallows in a remembered sentimentality with the advantage of looking at difficulty in the rearview mirror. We all know what it’s like to try to gain perspective…

Field Music We all know by now that it’s getting tougher to make a living as a musician. While tools for producing music have gotten cheaper and more accessible, the ways to make decent money as a professional in the music industry have been drying up. Alex Marshall and Joanna Yee write for the NYT...
Food is bringing thousands of people together to an unexpected place: a plaza west of Toronto. Some fear it’s tearing a neighborhood apart.

The lead track and first single off Sonic Youth’s album Dirty felt like a big deal when it dropped. By 1992, the decade already felt like a dramatic break from the previous one, and videos like the one for “100%” played a big part in setting that perception. The sleek polish that had coated 80s...
The best take on Americana this year.
In honor of Tops’ new album Bury The Key being released yesterday, I’m featuring one of the tracks, “Falling On My Sword,” as the Saturday Night Video this week. “Falling On My Sword” is my favorite among the early singles from this LP and probably the one that most closely matches the 70’s prog rock-inspired...
The death of Ozzy Osbourne seems like the perfect opportunity to highlight an up-and-coming doom metal band.
Though Laura Groves “Sky At Night” was released as part of her album *Radio Red* in 2023, it may be my favorite “new to me” song this year.
Glazyhaze released Sonic in March of this year. The sophomore album from the band has received a lot of positive press for its refined take on shoegaze, with physical copies selling out very quickly and having to be restocked hastily. With shoegaze being such a global phenomenon at this point, you wouldn’t necessarily pick up...
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the importance of the gatekeepers. Even in an era where doing it yourself has never been easier, the patronage of entities like book publishers and record labels remains important. The case in point that revived my thoughts on the matter is the new EP I Call This One...
