I can't stop thinking about 'Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie' and Kim Gordon's latest solo album. Both are lighting a fire in me – the idea that we could all be taking bigger risks.
Wrote about both in this week's Another Thought

Thank you so much, Chris!
I've been doing "seasonal ambient guides" the past year, but this month I'm opening it up a bit. I wanted to focus on new, energizing sounds across genres that are getting me out of the rut of winter.

With all this talk about opera right now, I thought I’d bring back this piece I did years ago on Evelyn Mandac, the first Filipino to ever sing at the Metropolitan Opera House. It took me years to track her down, I still find myself thinking back on her inspiring story www.kexp.org/read/2021/5/...
Good morning! Yes, this is he
Lately, I’ve found myself falling into a rabbit hole of early 2000s nostalgia, and it’s weirdly freaked me out! For this week’s Another Thought, I wrote about coming to terms with nostalgia and approaching the past with a critical eye. anotherthoughtanotherthought.substack.com/p/when-you-w...

Wow thank you so much, Corey!
This is some of the best / most practical advice I've ever seen regarding the eternal question "why write about music?" I wish someone had shared it with ME say, 30 years ago or so? TYSM @dustyhenry.bsky.social 🙏

I’ll be on The Afternoon Show with Larry Mizell, Jr. on KEXP.org at 2 PM PT today, sharing clips from an interview I recently did with Beverly Glenn-Copeland and his wife Elizabeth ahead of their upcoming Vancouver BC show. The full interview comes out on the A Deeper Listen podcast in early Feb 🖤
I wrote (and drew) something of a manifesto, a call to arms for writing about music. Our field is in dire straits, but I’m feeling oddly more hopeful than ever.
The tides are always shifting, but writing lasts forever.

Thank you so much, Evan. I've been so inspired by what you're doing with See Saw. One of the things that makes me hopeful for the future of our field.

This week on Another Thought, I’m digging into the brilliant new Earl Sweatshirt album, Forge from X-Men, and why it’s not cringe to “live laugh love.” anotherthoughtanotherthought.substack.com/p/earl-sweat...
My need to collect records is insatiable with no end in sight. This week on Another Thought, I wanted to zoom out and self-investigate “why?” I found this to be a great exercise to try to understand why I value collecting so much. anotherthoughtanotherthought.substack.com/p/why-collec...
Ambient and generally “immersive” music continues to consume my world. This list is far from comprehensive, but I felt compelled to share a few of the albums that fit into this realm that have been meaningful to me so far this year.
this week's newsletter is all about music, environment, and enjoying the sounds of life anotherthoughtanotherthought.substack.com/p/ambient-en...
Sharp Pins' 'Radio DDR' is one of my favorite albums of the year. I was lucky enough to talk with Kai Slater to dig into the record and the idea of youth, not as age but as a constant pursuit of creativity.
Up now on the A Deeper Listen podcast

Had the chance not long ago to speak with Hiro Ama about his beautiful album Music for Peace & Harmony. We talked about what “peace and harmony” means during chaotic times, and he gave me a demonstration of the Waraku synthesizer for KEXP's A Deeper Listen podcast www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ojoa...
can't wait for this!
Talked with Gregg Deal from Dead Pioneers, one of my favorite punk bands in recent years, about disillusionment with the American dream, Indigenous representation in media, and their great new album PO$T AMERICAN. Listen here: kexp.org/podcasts/a-d...
