Thinking about the band 'Stores' who moved me very much at Left of the Dial 2021, only to disappear into thin air. Sometimes bands be like that. Those special ones can be fragile ecosystems, shattered by the first gust.

i started watching basketball in '96. to hear roundball rock before some elite hoops again is the best type of nostalgia ever.

this new tune by library card is an absolute gem

Library Card channel a reversed yearning on new track "Days Of Clay"
"We wanted to create a song that feels like receiving a postcard from a past you didn't live in, but that still feels familiar somehow."

Broken Social Scene's self-titled LP was part of a massive indie rock groundswell in the mid-2000s.

The album turns 20 this Saturday, so let's look back:
