I know Wesley personally, and can verify he truly knows his goth stuff. This book's going to be the real deal.

Love this story from Craig Robertson's Chris Knox bio about how an Auckland punk band learned to play "Anarchy in the UK" by taping the short bits that aired in a news segment off of the TV and just playing those parts. (Try to explain this to a young person today haha)

1996 “the wildest year of Britain’s wildest decade… the coolest year in British culture”. Does he mean “suddenly a tiny fragment of one generation could afford gak” rather than UK guitar music went shit, peak lad, morons rioting after the Euros, the ubiquity of Chris Evans (the latter says it all)?

“It’s like you are witnessing the fading of your own memories”: How Boards of Canada brewed a serene genre-blurring classic It’s perhaps Boards of Canada’s most well-known track, serving as many a newcomers' route into their nostalgia evoking universe

"[Boards of Canada duo] Eoin and Sandison’s painterly approach to aging and distressing sound purposefully sought to tap into a shared reminiscence with the listener, and was later cited as pioneering the ‘hauntology’ aesthetic that would become popular in the years that followed."

Where do folks go when they die? The best of the Meat Puppets These unwashed burnouts produced a methamphetamined acoustic punk in the ’80s for which I can only think of The Feelies circa The Good Earth as an analogue (these days I hear the influence on…

So many of their tunes use the fiercely strummed electric rhythm riff, closely miked harmonies, and rubbery bass that distinguishing periods in Meat Puppets music is like distinguishing "early" from "late" Eric Rohmer. wp.me/pzXeC-ldD

A screenshot of a message from Morrissey on Morrissey Central: 'SALFORD LADS CLUB April 12, 2026 "For those who care about detail, being photographed outside of Salford Lads Club was not a Smiths idea or design, it was solely my idea, to which as usual the other three initially viewed as more unnecessary Morrissey lunacy. Now that millions of people come from all over the world to be photographed on that very spot, it is claimed as a Smiths idea. It wasn't, it isn't, and it never shall be. If I had suggested a photo outside Kellogg's the likelihood is that the other three would have done that instead." MORRISSEY'
