Not sure the best spot for this, but Walter Martin (former Walkman, all around music geek and good guy) has been running a music hour for a radio station in upstate NY. The gist is he digs through his extensive record collection, picks records (sometimes a theme, sometimes not so much) and talks...

Thanks for pointing this one out. Coincidentally, I had just turned it on b/c of a Stereogum article about them. It's solid! https://www.stereogum.com/2269050/band-to-watch-been-stellar/interviews/band-to-watch/

HA!

I've got no real love for the Spanish team, but I'm going on vacation to Spain next week, so I want them to make a deep run!

August 31 in Brockton, MA. While I'm wasting space here: when I was a wannabe punk in high school, I held my favorite bands close to my heart, and it really bummed me out if they got too popular with the "wrong" crowd (weird, I know). So when punk was having a little moment, and Heavy Petting...

I was hoping it was just a little bit tongue in cheek, but with Smelly it's hard to tell. I also had no idea that Hefe had an acting career going. Funny, because the rumor I had heard way back when (unprovable at the time because I'm old, and imdb wasn't imdb) was that Hefe had been in the...

Pretty weird to see a NOFX article in the NY Times. And apparently there's some real tension in the band about calling it quits, as Mike is in a different spot financially than some of the guys. And El Jefe compares the band to the Dead. “At first, we did resent him,” El Hefe said. “We didn’t...

I’m not 100% sure how to feel about this Father’s Day present.

#6. Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar - This one, I really really loved. Funny, poignant, and thought provoking, it's about a Iranian-American (or American-Iranian) man searching for his place in the US and world while dealing with racism, mid-20s ennui, and loss. Having gone through some personal loss...

This one was a complete blind spot for me, but really enjoying it in ways that I didn't expect. Nice pick, and thanks for the intro!

I actually caught him in Boston (not to rub it in, he was great), but then flew to Charlotte to see him (really an excuse to see an old friend I don't see enough) only to have him cancel because of the wrist injury.

I definitely fell victim to a cancelled Noe show. Speaking of shows, Sturgill is back with a new album under the moniker Johnny Blue Skies with a fall tour to match. https://pitchfork.com/news/sturgill-simpson-introduces-johnny-blue-skies-for-new-album-and-tour/

My brother just sent this to me. I don’t do Instagram, but (from what I gather) a very rare Ian Noe sighting: https://www.instagram.com/iannoemusic/reel/C70HzgruA75/

Former N&G AOTM artist Little Wings has a new one out this week:

Yeah, it's a lot. He did an interview with Aquarium Drunkard, where he tried to prep everyone for it. I'm still not sure, but less appalled than many here. Ha. and:

The closest I've got is the US National Team scoring a late equalizer against Panama on the last day of world cup qualifying in 2013. The US had already clinched qualification. If the US doesn't score this goal at 90+2, Mexico doesn't go to the WC. I still cheered like hell for St. Zusi, and...

Chugging along and reading way less than I'd like. Two more: 4. Brooklyn Crime Story by Jonathan Lethem: This one is barely a story and not about crime. I've had a soft spot for Lethem since Motherless Brooklyn and Fortress of Solitude, but (for me, anyway) not much has come close to those...
