Yessss, it's one of the funnest and most inventive rock records I've heard this year! Wild how they manage to synthesize bits of every popular genre — it's clubby, it's punky, it's indie. Like 80s new wave through a 2025 lens.

Kind of weird to hear that Supreme quoted from my 2014 Aphex Twin feature in their new merch drop with him. I hope that doesn't mean I've become a hypebeast by association

Rest in power to the acid jazz OG, Roy Ayers. His rooftop concerts at Output always marked the first days of spring. Thanks for the memories— in the sunshine. ☀️

Thank YOU for this brief but wonderful tribute to Mojo. I discovered it this morning and was so moved that I spent much of the day reading your other entries. You are a truly gifted writer! www.jamesreeves.co/mojo/
The Electrifying Mojo Had the Most Reassuring Voice I Ever Heard
His spirit runs through nearly everything we hear today.

This 2001 Moodymann 12” goes crazy. It cuts up the Detroit radio DJ Mojo’s famed ‘86 interview with Prince, chopping the questions to sound like an interview with Moody. The beat beneath is murky and hard-hitting, then shifts into a lighter, jazzier Rhodes flex. 🔥

Yeah, that Uilab EP is great, too. Love the “St. Elmo’s Fire” cover.

Spending a lot of time lately with this little-known Stereolab side project from 1997, a collaboration between Tim Gane, Andy Ramsay, and the High Llamas' Sean O'Hagan. Released just a month before 'Dots and Loops,' it applies some of that album's best qualities to a 'library music' setting.

Not both of us seeing that tour! I waited for two hours outside the backstage doors and got a hug. Felt like walking on a cloud. Laura Nyro could never.
