our podcast returns w/ some controversial faves from the past year—and yes, i brought ian's "xxl freshman freestyle" to the table. disagreements were had!
my year-end list includes a lot of life-changing music that is not on all those other lists! such is the power of independent media!
wrote abt the one podcast i'm not ashamed to listen to, that time a kid called me tom from myspace, the tabby king of clinton avenue, and the weakerthans' "sun in an empty room"
thank u maria!
five years of umaw—lots of wins, and a lot that has yet to be won
members and organizers speak to me about their experiences battling the powers that be and why anyone who cares about music needs to take artists' rights seriously
i have to give the edge to caroline 2, which is among my faves of the year, but def appreciate the collectivism in action generally speaking!
it's always incredible when an artist exceeds your own sky-high expectations. dijon did that. i wrote about it.
absolutely. we also have a great piece by andy about this topic! www.hearingthings.co/this-one-wei...
appreciate this insight. how much do you have to pay on apple music to get started?
definitely apprecaite qobuz's transparency www.techradar.com/audio/audio-...
it's a wrap
guaranteed catharsis + camaraderie at our summer party w/ infinity knives & brian ennals this thursday. tune in & show up!

spoke w/ the almighty yeule about the songs they want to soundtrack their funeral for our existential playlist series. (to be clear, we wish for all the artists featured in this series to live very long lives!)
spoke w/ one of my absolute favorite music critics, ben ratliff, about his new book 'run the song.' topics include listening as a superpower, describing as an act of faith, endlessness, Hendrix, Monk, and the aesthetic failures of jam bands
we need to put "realer than i had anticipated" to the HT press packet!
yr a guiding light for me and so many others. we need yr work.
somewhere between what was, what is, and what will be, charli brought brat to brooklyn
a probing, of-the-times piece by @cushac.bsky.social about musicians who are opting out of streaming and finding other ways to share their art and commune with listeners
tried to put my embarrassing late-night TV consumption to good use
as it happens, i found the "happy" bon iver album to be kind of a bummer
clear-eyed, heartwarming, and just very real—an incredible personal essay by @jillmapes.bsky.social about music, and listening, as legacy
i really enjoy talking w/ dan bejar—even if he told me he was "very disturbed by having to do" this interview
it knocked me out!
wrote about one of my all-time faves, tortured artists, near-death dramatics, fundamentals, permutations, and the eight versions of "spiders (kidsmoke)" on the a ghost is born super deluxe edition
oh wow, we're throwing our first hearing things party! music and merriment, offline and in person. it's going to be great.
would love to see you there!
got a lil existential w/ magdalena bay for our new interview series abt funeral music—immortality, cremation, billy joel, we get to it all
