Been listening to a lot of Constantines, John Reis projects, and Jets to Brazil. Been playing a Stratocaster through several overdrives at once. Been enjoying volume. Give it a spin.

Perfect band returns.
I spoke to Good Luck about their improbable comeback album, Big Dreams, Mister. We also talk about the band's history, what punk felt like in the late aughts, whatever the emo revival was, and so much more.

the thing about not having an algorithm here is it's ok to have one fucking place that's not a popularity contest. we have the nielsen ratings. we have the charts. we have meta. everything is is already a popularity contest and it fucking sucks, globally. we can have one place where you vibe it out
