    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?

    On a positive note though, I think this year's Best Picture nominees were the most solid lineup since 1975 (back when there were only 5 nominees). Usually there is at least one downright poor choice amongst the nominees. Not so this year. And there really weren't any embarrassing choices amongst...

    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

    Man, I wish there was only an hour of '80s Joni. But in all seriousness, Turbulent Indigo would be an outstanding choice for Essentials. And, based on Discogs, never before on vinyl.

    Yes, but it's worth it because this edition will have those work-in-progress outtakes with different lyrics. "A price obscene/A price obscene/A price obscene/A price obscene..."

    Recommendation: if at work, do not Google "Should 69 be 7, 10 or 12 inches." I apologize and am heartily ashamed of myself for that joke.
