“Pedal steel amplifies the country influence, while fuzzy, reverb-soaked guitars evoke shoegaze’s signature sound. Slowcore’s presence is felt in the unhurried tempos and understated vocals that gently shape the mood.”
As the dirtgaze genre starts to take shape, Houston, Texas trio Shallowater is a band to keep your eye on. Interview by @chipmidnight.bsky.social

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.
Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

It's been 30 years since we lost my friend, Blind Melon's Shannon Hoon. It's really hard to believe it's been that long. I miss Shannon a lot but am so glad I got to know him. Here's a podcast about meeting - and interviewing - Shannon, including the interview itself.
