'There are records that crystallise genres, there are albums that carve out new spaces in established scenes, and there are LPs that, over time, end up symbolising the era in which they were created. Records that create a new musical language... Those are rare.'

RIP Tony Fitzpatrick. Taught me so much about what it means to love a place so much that you become one with it. A truly singular Chicago artist.

30 Years of Red Red Meat’s Bunny Gets Paid!

Chicago rock ensemble Red Red Meat hit hard with 1995’s Bunny Gets Paid. The record pairs Stones-indebted blues-rock roots with beautiful songs.

If you’ve seen califone in the past few years you have seen Max Knouse playing guitar with us. He can play upside down and inside out with love in his heart and make it somehow totally dreamy and totally fucked. Pick up max’s new album. It is a beauty 🦇❤️

Been listening to the new @califone-timrutili.bsky.social record a bunch since it came out. It also reminded me how much I love this album from Craig Ross and Tim Rutili, so now this is back in rotation, too.
