The Guardian How we survive 'I was peeing blood constantly': my ketamine hell - and what made me stop Thomas Delaney's addiction issues started when he was a teen and worsened through his 20s. Eventually, an argument with his mother led him to change everything
I’m sorry my man but the CONSTANT BLOOD PISS wasn’t what made you stop??
I make spreadsheets to help me get my head around my love of music. I wrote this essay about the straight line between collecting toys as a kid to collecting records (ongoing), the soothing nature of spreadsheeting my love of music, and the most spreadsheet-ass institution out there: the Rock Hall

one of my favorite contemporary punk bands on the planet right now is Philadelphia's Eraser. had a pretty phenomenal weekend hanging with them in Memphis. here's our conversation which should serve as a reminder for all of us to listen to Mariah's audiobook. see-saw.fun/eraser-emerg...

during see/saw year 2 somebody did a jukebox prank at the eagles bar and played wreck of the edmund fitzgerald like seven times in a row, I was like “fuck yeah let’s go” and pepper working the door was pretty fucking annoyed about it

It was!
minneapolis garage punks THE SLEAZE, of SMOKIN FUCKIN CIGS fame, will reunite for the see/saw year 2 party (saturday 3/28).

new rock'n'roll records coming in hot. read PUNK THIS WEEK to learn about John Dwyer's new Damaged Bug record, Hedge Burners (members of Dick Diver/Split System), two very different and very sick bands from Athens GA, and an Indonesian beefy psychedelic garage punk project called TRANCE BILL.

It's time to find a new punk record you'll love. Will it be from a Cuban band that sounds like Unwound? A French d-beat band that's not afraid of rock'n'roll melodramatics? The Powerplant dungeon synth black metal album? The return of GUITAR WOLF?
Find out in the new PUNK THIS WEEK column.
the tape WHY?SCRAPERS by the nyc-via-texas band GUYSCRAPERS was one of 2025's most critical rock'n'roll releases. they're one of these bands that writes a ton and whittles down to the absolute best stuff.
was stoked that Sydney Salk sat down with them for a chat over a case of beer for see/saw.
always happy to tell you who the good bands are in a given city, but always remember, if you've got a rare profitable business in the arts, it's only proper to tip your shadow a&r guy
