Just listened to Time Inside the Violet. Not at all what I was expecting after 2022’s immaculate LP, but I am absolutely hear for it. Gorgeous, ordering now!

Suicide - Surrender

A solid collection of tracks across their discography. Felt like the right transition after listening to Spacemen 3.

Spacemen 3 - Threebie 3 EP

Peak Spacemen drones. The perfect prescription while drafting performance reviews.

Oracle Sisters - Divinations

Subdued rock/pop/folk to help our slow start on this holiday Monday.

I’ve seen Godspeed many times, and Rachel’s’ EP with Matmos may be the best EP ever….but I still love some TS songs.

Love that we all have so many options.

This is 💯 accurate. Lotta mashing going on.

Sunn O))) and the worst-named best dub band in three days. Quite a line up

And I believe they each lost a band member within a day of each other about 18 months ago.

Goose - 2025.03.11 Live

After last night’s incredible second set in Detroit, tucking in with everybody’s favorite 80 minute song in the least convenient way possible.

I haven’t listened to much of his work since early Fridge. This is a really nice record!

Spacemen 3 - Recurring

Admittedly my least favorite of their 4 albums, I’d forgotten how hard the back half of Sonic’s side goes. I never knew his killer line, “Your eyes. It’s a day’s work to look into them” was a Laurie Anderson nod.

The Riches - The Roches LP

I got sucked in by the novelty of the opening track but the rest of the album is fantastic. 45 years later and not much else sounds like this!

It may not be - but I try to find things locally whenever possible so a used copy showing up was a great surprise!

Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Huge thanks to @cartwright.bsky.social for tracking down a copy of this for me. A “forever favorite” that I finally have on vinyl.
