I quote the first Super Troopers movie all of the time. The second one I barely remember. Here’s to hoping!
(Also, Tacoma FD is basically Super Troopers, just toned down for a half-hour sitcom. A cozy watch tbh.)

lol
I was off the grid when Mannequin Pussy's Tiny Desk dropped last week. It rules.
(And if you're curious, when Missy says that MP was rejected twice for Tiny Desk, guess who originally pitched them? 😉 Shout-out to Dora for making this one happen!)

This means that the Arthur Russell doc Wild Combination, one of the few music docs I will watch over and over, is also on sale. Highly rec! store.oscilloscope.net/collections/...
The thing you DON'T get from these digital files is the locked groove on "Flowers in the Yard," which was found the original one-sided 12". Used to let that drone go FOREVER.
Oh, man, that's gonna be a great gig! That is how the last Roadside Seattle show came about!
Nice to have digital versions of these Damien Jurado songs from the early 2000s. They always felt like companions to 'Ghost of David.' Quiet, haunted.

Back from the kiddo's spring break and I see that (squints) we decided to talk about Geese again. OK!
Imma listen to the blizzard black metal of Ebony Pendant instead. wergild.bandcamp.com/album/threno...

@souledamerican.bsky.social, ‘Sanctions’
First album in 30 years by the slowest, strangest meandering-est country band that ever was. My only gotta-hear-it rec today. It’ll warp your sense of time and the direction of your heart.

A regular-sized desk, really.
To celebrate Gwenifer Raymond’s Tiny Desk, I made a YouTube playlist of every fingerstyle guitarist who’s ever played Tiny Desk. @marisamusic.bsky.social ! @danielbachman.bsky.social ! Yasmin Williams! I produced all of these save Nathan Salsburg. youtube.com/playlist?lis...
Saw Gwenifer on her recent tour and it was mind-blowing. Watch and be changed.
This YouTube thumbnail may capture the only smile from Gwenifer Raymond’s ripping Tiny Desk 🤗 Glad we could make this one happen while she was en route to Big Ears!

Here’s the thing: I think I literally did the same thing during a playoff season many years ago lol
We tried
Oops forgot to alt text: SUNN O))) at the Lincoln Theatre. Yes, SUNN O))) has entered its seated theatre stage and I, for one, welcome it.
I’ve seen SUNN O))) at least 6 or 7 times — this performance was second only to the ‘Altar’ performance with Boris at ATP. On another level right now.
lol
I know that’s right
hey hey, are you having a great friday?
These colors don't run; they glizz.

Vince Gill, '50 Years from Home: End of the Night'
Honestly? This set of heartbroken, twangy soft rockers is extremely roséwave.

Domenica Diavoleria, 'Flicker Statue Eyes'
Hauntological ambient. Live score to the 1984 gothic fantasy 'The Company of Wolves,' a movie I've never seen, but this music sets a spooky mood that is both mysterious and romantic.

I think all 3 so far will be your jam!
I should listen to the whole thing. The one or two songs I heard I liked ok, but it sounded more like Melvins... and Melvins has just never clicked with me for whatever reason.
#NewMusicFriday
Prymek & Sage, 'Shelter'
Like their work in Fuubutsushi, Chaz Prymek and @mjsage.bsky.social make music without a set destination. These sketches stretch wide like the horizon, yet feel as close as a heartbeat.

#NewMusicFriday
Hannah Lew, 'Hannah Lew'
Debut solo album for this member of Cold Beat and the much-missed-to-me Grass Widow. Those prismatic post-punk/synth-pop strains are still here, but channeled into pure pop songs. Perfect late night music.

#NewMusicFriday 🧵
Spirit Adrift, 'Infinite Illumination'
The 6th and final album by Nate Garrett's consistently great band. Doomy, triumphant and deep. Solo Ozzy and mid-'90s Metallica that doesn't forget to be metal.
