New "What's In My Bag?" episode with Tortoise!
Douglas McCombs & John Herndon go shopping at Amanda SF. From Tom Verlaine, David Thomas of Pere Ubu & Broadcast, it may seem like they only pick albums by dead musicians. But never fear, there are some living artists too!

โจ and don't miss 'BODY SOUND,' out now on @intlanthem.bsky.social
Longtime friends and Chicago scene veterans, Whitney Johnson, Lia Kohl, and Macie Stewart have turned 'BODY SOUND' into a record of real-time improvisation, physical tape manipulation, and an unexpected kinship with Yoko Ono's 'Grapefruit'.
Three Points of a Creative Shape:
Itโs over 400 stores deep, we hope you can find a chill one serving up coffee and donuts while you wait in line <3

Dear Children of Our Children, I Knew: Epilogue is available on a RDD exclusive vinyl LP this Saturday April 18 (Record Store Day) that also contains DePlumeโs 2024 EP Cremisan: Prologue to A Blade. For questions about stock and availability, please check with your nearest neighborhood record shop.
...They are transparent. How a human being can endure extremes of brutal punishment, and yet still shine, still be transparent, clear, still refract the light.โ
Listen to โGlassโ and pre-save DePlumeโs new digital EP ahead of its May 5 release today: linktr.ee/intlanthem
Of the new single, DePlume says: โSuperheating sand, it melts. It becomes clear, transparent. Hardening, it becomes glass. The glass, we shatter, and it becomes shards. And yet still it manages to shine, in a way...
The atmospheric and meditative โGlassโ captures a beauty that refuses to be extinguished. Barely pausing for breath, DePlumeโs saxophone unfurls with a quiet, relentless insistence, threading over a steady pulse of bass (๐ฆ๐ต๐ฎ๐ต๐๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐), drums (๐ง๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐น๐บ๐ฒ๐), and a trance-like electronic loop.
The EP arrives exclusively on vinyl this Saturday April 18 as part of Record Store Day (and streaming in full on all digital music platforms on May 5).
Today, London-based saxophonist, singer, songwriter, activist, orator, and poet-philosopher ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ฃ๐น๐๐บ๐ฒ shares โ๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐โ โ the third and final single streaming now from his upcoming EP of instrumentals, ๐๐๐๐ซ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐๐ง ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐๐ง, ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ฐ: ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ฎ๐.
