One worked in coal mines, the other owned a pizza place.
I liked that first album, kinda! Don't think I've heard anything after that. They just never really stuck for me.
Ha ... I got no problem with 'em. I bought the first album and it's cool ... just never fell hard for 'em.
it's like if Interpol was cool and good

oh my goodness this record *rules*
there are perfect songs and then there are songs that feel like even more than that, somehow
Montreal singer Dominique Fils-AimΓ© continues her second trilogy with "My World is the Sun," a beguiling soul-jazz triumph and our Album of the Day.
Dominique Fils-AimΓ©'s new record MY WORLD IS THE SUN spills over with beguiling soul-jazz that underscores her ability to evoke a whole spectrum of moods with remarkable efficiency.
I had the pleasure of writing about it for Bandcamp Daily's Album of the Day. β¬οΈ
Aw, thanks! That totally makes my day ... actually, my whole week. Always nice to hear that folks around there reading, listening and discovering new favorites. (And yes, she is terrific. Good job going to the show!)
Brennen Leigh and Cristina Vane's Women of Americana tour will crisscross the country over the next 2 months, celebrating artists like Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Brandi Carlile, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Gillian Welch and Lucinda Williams. I talked to Leigh about it for The Bulletin in Bend, Oregon.
please play this little synth line as they lower me into the ground
Very grateful for the opportunity to write todayβs Album Of The Day review for Bandcamp Daily. β¬οΈ
this footage of this performance of this song is a must-watch if you care about SM or his music. so clear, up close and personal, well-composed ... as tender and moving as you'll get with him. (the fuzzy guitar bits are cool, too.)
shout out neighborhood dads!
I literally have no idea what this means! Is it different than it used to be?
have you heard this really lovely album from Portland-based Searows? it is ... *really* lovely.
if you're looking forward to a new Phoebe Bridgers album - or even if you're not, but especially if you are - you should listen to this.
checking availability at the White Eagle
Donβt suppose anyone out there has a way for one guy to get into Bitchinβ Bajas in Portland tonight, eh? Usual pathways havenβt worked.
I talked to a few of his friends and wrote this about him for the local newspaper β¬οΈπ«‘
here's an all-time band at the height of their powers for your Monday enjoyment
Drop an album that was important to you when you were nineteen
speaking of anniversaries
maybe they should update this title
Love this: Chris Sale talks about why he will never challenge a ball/strike call with the new ABS system in place. ππππ
Pretty amazing to think about all the records of varying quality and stature that get anniversary pieces each week and also that only one person/publication, as far as I can tell, wrote about Pinegrove's Cardinal yesterday. Good work, @chrisdeville.bsky.social!
One of the best albums of the 2010s β¬οΈ
One of the great songwriters of our time, Damien Jurado, is playing "the hits" on his upcoming tour, which starts tomorrow in Oregon and ends in the Midwest.
For my local newspaper, I talked to him about what that means and why he's doing it after 25+ years of playing whatever he felt like playing.
If you havenβt yet, now would be a fantastic time to pre-order the new free-improv drone epic by the Water Shrew Trio π«

an absolute pillar of my local punk scene for the past 20+ years passed away last fall at the far-too-young age of 44, and they're throwing a show in his honor, all the best heavy/punk bands in town are playing, proceeds benefit a local homeless shelter and it's all so sweet. π₯Ή RIP Preston
