A 3 hour long Sturgill Simpson set sounds like the greatest idea ever until you realize you’re not 25 anymore

Not Bill Fay, man. Bill Fay. This fucking week. One of the greatest to ever do it. My first and only choice every time a festival/promoter asks “who should we book next year?” (like they’re gonna consider it) knowing damn well he never played a single show in his career. Rest easy.

One of the best festivals around for people who enjoy guitars btw. Sure, you're gonna see this pic and ask "who?", but the truth is I had more than my government-mandated amount of fun last year

Music, film, and videogames did not peak while you were in the 13-23 age range. Don’t let your less curious friends convince you otherwise. They’re turning into their parents faster than you are
people over 30 quote this with some life advice for the rest of us?

Will 2025 be the year the “indie music industry” gets rid of the scourge of the 3rd and 4th and 5th “advance single” from a 10 track record and the vomit-inducing gimmicky marketeer discourse about “album cycles” that makes artistry sound like a brand

Essential Christmas watching
Leonard Cohen had some legendary tours, even including the 2009-11 period. But this 1985 show in Warsaw is his prime. The stagefright is gone and the setlist includes all of the best material. youtu.be/VPwfiMkZdoA?...

Last playlist of the year since basically nobody dares to release albums in December, there's barely any non-seasonal new tracks, and you're not gonna listen to a new music playlist on the 25th of December or 1st of January, so this is it. I had no idea White Denim had a new album coming out!

I could write 300 characters about how @voicesbend.bsky.social's first album in over a decade is a must-listen but Jim Allen at @bandcamp.com daily already did that and more, so
Julie Beth Napolin, “Only the Void Stands Between Us”
The New York folk artist's debut is a spooky psych-folk seance that's cosmic, yet earthbound.

Lost it on December 1st lmao.

Won it in 2020 and 2021, thank you lockdowns
So it begins….

Personal best, 22nd December.

Personal worst, 2nd December.

Whamhalla awaits, so everything is muted until checked and I’m plugging my head shut in all public spaces (tbh I do that anyway).
