Thee Parkside is gone end of the year.....
Pretty in Pink for Valentine's
SF Bay Popfest at Bottom of The Hill in August
Xiu Xiu is a Psycho Killer
And R.E. Seraphin's double reissue feels like a mystery going backward
It's Under The Stars....

Under the Stars: Pardon us while we gush over R.E. Seraphin's baroque pop cool - 48 hills
Plus: 'Pretty in Pink' makes a great V-Day soundtrack and SF Bay Popfest is determined to rock, even as local venues bid adieu.

Such a great series from @jessehawken.bsky.social that has been doing the impossible — make me love Prefab Sprout even more
Oh dear, another Prefab Sprout episode of @junkfilterpod.bsky.social is in the can, about 1989’s “Protest Songs” but we also discuss the Irish diaspora, Steely Dan, and GET CARTER with Michael Caine, another grim little tale set in Newcastle. Out next week!

James from Big Takeover really did his homework and we had a pretty sprawling interview, discussing power pop, AI, annoying critics, ABBA, sick guitar solos, aaaaaand all things my album WAXWORLD 🌞🌞🌞
In the sprawling, neon-lit geography of modern independent music, it is increasingly rare to encounter an artist who views the long-form album not just as a collection of digital files, but as a physical and philosophical architecture.

Woah, I'm included in this KILLER mix !!! 🌞🌞🌞

Along with some of my favorite bands going right now: Daniel Romano’s Outfit, 2nd Grade, The Lemon Twigs, Uni Boys, Supercrush, The Goods .......
New mixtape up on the site today! This one explores modern power pop. From the classic ’80s hints of Tom Henry, Billy Tibbals, or Uni Boys to the more ’90s leaning touches of Supercrush and 2nd Grade, the mix works to wrap up all strains of soft-punch punk and jangled heartbreak. bit.ly/4r7AxET
