Classic!
Got any supremely under the radar bands you’ve been championing for ages? Mine’s Tahiti 80 from France…who hasn’t released anything in the US since 2005(?). But whose quality nonetheless still hasn’t dipped! Were I reductive I’d say like a better version of Phoenix!
Happy Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring finale to all who celebrate! @patrickhorvath.bsky.social you ok?!?! :)
Mark Lewisohn is like a Beatle to me. I’m in awe of him and could listen to him speak forever!
In the past 48 hours I’ve watched one documentary about Paul McCartney’s 70s and another that laser focused on the Beatles’ 1962. The former was fun but inessential the latter completely unmissable. The gift that ceases to keep gifting.
11 year old me knew no cooler music.
Also celebrated its 43rd (!) bday Saturday.
Dunno. Just seemed…apt?
I chose a good year to let my nerd flag fly freely!
More Sedaka adjacency. Truth being stranger than fiction…
Picked this one up a few years back in the midst of my 10cc mania/discovery phase. This was one of the early albums recorded at their Strawberry Studios and they served as the backing band. NS (RIP) said “hey you lads are GOOD! You should make yr own records…” and the rest is history.
Tatjana Wood has apparently passed away at age 99. Her father was Jewish so during WW2 her parents sent her to the Netherlands, then NY. She studied as a dressmaker, met/married Wallace Wood and began assisting him, then pivoted to becoming one of the best colorists in comics.
It doesn’t feel *that* long since Will Oldham put out *another* very excellent Bonnie Prince Billy record. Impressive work rate, truly one of our greats.
Hoping to find my copy asap!
Jeez Reid…admit to liking ConvoHearts and catch a subtweet stray…THANKS! ;)
Gonna put Conversation Hearts on my list of holiday-specific candy that gets a bad rap but actually rules. Where my candy heads at?
Something kinda accidentally perfect about these two records getting re-released on the same day as they are…simpatically (made up word?) exemplary specimens of what I’d call respectively first wave and second wave US indie pop.
And they’ve gone and done it! Amazing how many great albums they’ve amassed. Last year’s in fact was true gem, a career highlight!
What a perfect week to finally read the first trade of Absolute Wonder Woman, as this week’s Annual picks up right where its last arc ends. Diana course corrects some Greek Mythology here…and calls out the sometimes distinction bt legend & truth. @kellythompson.bsky.social is a master storyteller!
At the risk of bragging/being a non-romantic find yrself a partner who doesn’t care about VDay! Also play this loud: youtu.be/49lLK0BIYeQ?...
This am’s soundtrack inspired by @andrewmale.bsky.social’s wonderfully informative @mojomagazine.bsky.social review of Live at the Plugged Nickel. *17 year old* Tony Williams drums on half of the record’s tracks.
“Here’s an idea…instead of showing these insanely talented people doing more of their insanely talented things we can just show them do fist bumps with a celebrity!”
Awful! People who rob small businesses are a special brand of soulless. BP are THE BEST!
