Jesca Hoop has shared Caravan, the latest single from her forthcoming album Long Wave Home. Following the politically charged Designer Citizen, Caravan turns inward — a song of misplaced faith and vanishing promises. The video was shot in and around Manchester. klofmag.com/2026/03/jesc...
Just gotta say that @aquariumdrunkard.com is killing it in 2026 (even moreso than usual!). To wit, the front page today. aquariumdrunkard.com
"At the precise moment when music was becoming synthesised and digitised and sampled, Tom Waits insisted on its traditions of heavy lifting. 'Anyone who has ever played a piano,' he liked to say, 'would really like to hear how it sounds when dropped from a 12th-floor window.'"

Bill Orcutt How To Rescue Things LP
true story: partly because of when it came out, but mostly because of the dreamy backdrops from old LPs & the gorgeous foreground guitar melodies, @billorcutt.bsky.social's "how to rescue things" was/is an instant modern holiday classic for wintery nights. billorcutt.bandcamp.com/album/how-to...
"A mixture of extreme shyness and difficulties with mental health meant that his beautiful, meditative and deeply melancholic take on mystical English folk slipped through the commercial cracks during his lifetime."
The tragedy and beauty of Nick Drake, by those closest to him:
I wrote about more music than ever this year at No Expectations, so I compiled what I think are the 100 Best Albums of 2025. If you don't recognize a lot of the names here, don't worry. That's the point. I hope you find something new to dig. www.noexpectations.fyi/p/the-100-be...

RL Burnside was born 99 years ago today in Lafayette County, Mississippi. There's no other blues musician whose music I've enjoyed more than his. Two of my favorite records of his: Mississippi Hill Country Blues and Too Bad Jim. There was a hypnotic quality to his playing. So damn good.
A note that says there are some poems you’d save in a fire
cleaning out my notes app which , like when moving, means discarding but also rediscovering that which you’d forgotten. anyway I found this and I’m gonna make more of it.

BACKBEATS A HISTORY of ROCK AND ROLL' in FIFTEEN DRUMMERS JOHN LINGAN
First page of the book’s intro.
A two-page spread of photos featuring the Rollibg Stones, Earl Palmer, and more.
"Fascinating reading...Loud but often overlooked, drummers get their due in this entertaining survey...Lingan does a terrific job explaining the technical aspects of drumming to a lay audience; this book is accessible to any rock fan, even ones who don't know the difference between a snare and a tom." —Kirkus Reviews
BACKBEATS is out one month from today and it’s a real book! One that Kirkus says is great! johnlingan.com to preorder.

I am so grateful to Sophy Roberts for inviting me onto her podcast 'Gone to Timbuktu'. It's so rare for an interviewer to reflect your work back at you in a way that makers you see it differently. Sophy has this ability. (1)
