I wonder if Nick Levine realizes that his pedal steel playing in Pinegrove is responsible for the instruments now-essential inclusion in the hottest indie music these days. Waxahatchee, the whole Wednesday-MJ LENDERMAN circle of artists (all hugely indebted to Xandy Chelmis’ phenomenal spirit)

The new Friendship deserves as much attention as MJ Lenderman’s ‘Manning Fireworks’ got last year. Breezy but dense with some road-honed musicianship, and Dan Wriggins’ poetic explorarions of the everyday are the sharpest theyve ever been. Run, dont walk:

“Listicles” gotta be the lowest form of journalism and some writers entire careers are made from them. Oooh an arbitrary ranking. They’re never interesting!

Pinegrove’s influence on contemporary popular indie music’s sound has really yet to be grappled. What an institution!

Cannot for the life of me understand the appeal of Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band. Sardonic without being smart, loquacious lyricism to the point of absurdity. And seeing him live, sheesh. He literally could not play his guitar!

The exceptional level of panning I’m seeing across the critical millieu only serves to reinforce that the latest Car Seat Headrest is for the heads

New Turnstile is fun, but can we please stop calling them a hardcore band? This is textbook pop hard rock. ‘Seeing Stars/Birds’ could’ve been a Limp Bizkit b-side, let’s be serious

Do I repay my student loans, or preorder the Autechre reissues? Quite the dilemma.

People are going to speak on Jim-E Stack with the same vitriol they attack Jack Antonoff for his supposed influence on the production of the uber-pop girlies of the past decade for the last Bon Iver, that mediocre new Lorde single, and god knows what he has next. And this time, they might be right!

Someone’s gotta explain why the double cassette of Adrienne Lenker’s ‘Live at Revolution Hall’ just cost me 50 bucks, damn!

Saw one of the worst opening acts I could recall open for the brilliant and sardonic Bill Callahan Sunday night in Kingston. Out of respect, I will be holding my tongue.

New Bon Iver is a sleeper without a hit. Im glad Justin Vernon is comfortable now that the Taylor Swift royalties are steady paydays, but not nothing kills that K-fueled creative spark like the insistent ennui of financial security. And Jim-E Stack, apparently!

Can’t believe the guy who made the groundbreaking ‘22, a million’ a decade ago just put out the soft-rock snoozer that is ‘SABLE, fABLE’. I have a few thoughts 👇

Beach House has long been my sonic comfort for long winters. When those first few signs of spring show their heads, phenomenal tracks like ‘Sparks’ seem to go dormant, ready again to warm on those long, nighttime walks home in the below-freezing chill. See you next season ❄️ tidal.com/track/686408...
