The new Long Ryders album, High Noon Hymns, sees them back in the saddle with all guns blazing.
I spoke to @sidthesquid.bsky.social about making the record, the legacy of the band, working with Gene Clark, and trying to stay positive in a dark world: sayitwithgarageflowers.com/2026/03/05/i...
In Oslo🇳🇴 Peter Case and I talked about our books, yes our books, before the concert. Then there was a brief Q & A. The gig was in a beautiful old library so it was appropriate to do talk about our work as authors. Tomorrow is a gig in Halden 🇳🇴 and then the last gig is Uddevalla 🇸🇪 on March 7.

velvet underground researchers have apparently confirmed that this audio from a random youtube user is genuinely the long-lost july '67 performance from upbeat, a cleveland teen tv show, doing the unreleased "guess i'm falling in love" complete with screaming girls. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU2U...
