Serious AOTM contender here for me. @theflenser.bsky.social has been doing insanely good work putting out bands, especially in 2025.

If you see me in the pit at the Gridiron show. Please, be gentle. I’m gettin’ up there. I just won’t be able to help myself.

Mercury Music Picks: Nonbinary Girlfriend Play Free Show, Duster Side Project Play Gaza Fundraiser, and More! Whose idea was it to book Autechre, Nourished By Time, Lucinda Williams, and Fleshwater all on the same night? And then, the very next night, Turnstile, Amyl & The Sniffers, Speed, and Jane Remove...

We heard Direct Measure on the show last week. Killer stuff! Can’t wait to hear the record.

A unique book with incredible insight into a history pretty widely unknown!! Decibel’s books are always (head)bangers!

excited to be back in the studio tomorrow!

Was happy to see that Ethel Cain is the first out trans person to hit the Billboard top 10, and it was solely with the recent, much-anticipated vinyl release of her album Preacher’s Daughter. I feel this is the best album about a downward spiral since The Downward Spiral. Picked up my copy today!

You’ve heard Ancient Death on the show! New album is going to be awesome.
