Minor Bandcamp Friday as I was overwhelmed with indecision & just went with what I know.

Latest Merzbow & Muslimgauze plus the Joyful Noise Players Live at Big Ears. Not only are all the performers top notch but my friend @flakesky.bsky.social wrote the liner notes.

"Ready to Die for Xiu Xiu makes me insane. Not in a bad way, but a way that is hard for my lil pea brain and lil wizened heart to handle. So much care, emotion, intellectual love and remarkable attention to detail. I'm physically overwhelmed by the honour. This means so much to me." - Jamie Stewart

I wrote a new book. This one is about the music of xiu xiu! Its called READY TO DIE FOR XIU XIU. Featuring interviews with Jamie Stewart, Hyunhye 'Angela' Seo, Ches Smith, Greg Saunier, Shahzad Ismaily, and Lawrence English.

My latest review out now - The beautiful, nostalgic jazz-indie throwback by Berlin based Life is Great, "Option A"...totally Recommended!

Absolutely thrashing this patient, epic 80min work by Nate Wooley. Review by me coming soon. 💜 🏠

Been enjoying this back 'n forth between Fantano and Liz Pelly, author of "Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Cost of the Perfect Playlist".

"Play it, Archie." - Three days straight of jazz, avant-garde, and hardly injesting any food due to pure adrenaline and excitement. Also, bottomless free drinks.
