    Best Music 🎶 of 2024!

    On first listen, American Primitive, the latest from those old warhorses Old 97s', sure sounds like it ranks among their best records. There certainly isn't much radically new about it, but it's a very solid collection, catchy and energetic.

    Ooh, how enticing! My first thought was . And Reed once put this at the top of his list of the best records of all time. Whatever you've got up your sleeve, @Yer Ol' Uncle D, I can't wait. Thanks so much for your ridiculous generosity.

    Bandbox: an uncompensated review of an interesting new club

    Gee, I hope the poor bastards that buy that edition from eBay know they won't get a 'zine with it.

    Just got my delivery, and Danzig for me was Khruangbin - Live at Sydney Opera House . I've never really explored them before, but I know they've been pretty high profile and quite prolific. Seems like an above average get, right?

    Isn't there a likelihood that Amazon's bots registered crazy sales of this album and then restocked a bunch from the distributor that are now clogging their warehouses? Is it really expected that the Danzig Trojan Horse Lottery is going to have a sequel?

    Bandbox: an uncompensated review of an interesting new club

    Now, now, let's not forget that the Album Circle subscription allowed you exclusive access to enjoy a live interview with the band conducted by an employee of the record company. This perk would normally set your average customer back a grand or so. In this context, the $40 price for a surprise...

    Vinyl Me Please Essentials
